It is the curse of the poppy summer tune you can never escape. To 17-year-old rapper Becky G, it's the cause of her biggest hit to date. As the official lead single from her upcoming debut album, "Shower" is the overly cute, so addictive you start to get migraines, catchy, karaoke-worthy pop track that will have no trouble taking over radio airwaves this summer.
From a remix cover of "Jenny from the Block" with a seal of approval from Jennifer Lopez herself to the intriguing "Can't Get Enough" featuring Pitbull, the young artist is switching things up a bit without compromising her desire for hip-hop on her new sleeper hit. Though "Shower" was initially released back in April, the song has just started to gain traction and attention, so far peaking at number 12 on the iTunes chart and number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100.
From the opening notes reminiscent of Iggy Azalea and Vitamin C, the track instantly plays to the liking of every high school teenager while still showcasing the impressive skills of Becky G. Plain and simple, the smash hit is detailing the love for a certain someone, it unfortunately uses the burned out July 4th reference, but it's the artist's personality and summer-inspired production that allow the song to stand out from the crowd. "Think of you when I'm going to bed, when I wake up think of you again," she sings on the hook before the infectious chorus comes through.
"Shower" is the kind of effort that will bring success and uncertainty. The hip-hop/pop hybrid will continue to climb the charts, it will be hard to turn on the radio and not hear the adorable tune, however, it sounds too formulaic to the point where it could be Becky G's one-hit wonder moment. The artist does show promise, she has the vocals, the accompanying music video shows a bubbly and likable personality, and the song has the power to stay lodged in one's brain whether they like it or not... let's just wait and see if we will be playing future Becky G songs in the shower.
