Every now and then a single comes along that sounds so simplistic, you’re left wondering what you might have missed the first time through – “Chocolate Rain” anyone? BLK Kathy’s debut, “Shake You Off” is one such number. Recalling ‘80s South Bronx sisters ESG, “Shake You Off” marries the most basic synth melody to a pedestrian dubstep beat and a casual vocal, all of which somehow works because the lyrics are so utterly jaded it’s as if any other musical flourishes would be disingenuous. As it stands, BLK Kathy, with this one video, are the antithesis of everything “American Idol” stands for. – Brian Chidester
