What we thought would be a stream of the Yousaf sisters actually speaking out about the recent Krewella controversy with former member Kris Trindl was instead an under-handed tactic at releasing a new song. While in the limelight of their current legal battle & paired with the ominous phrase “say goodbye,” the announcement implied a completely different ongoing than what actually occurred during their “live stream.” With thousands tuned in expecting to see and hear the personas of the Yousaf sisters, we were instead relayed the stream of a new track entitled “Say Goodbye” and left dumbstruck questioning if this was the summation of their announcement; which it was. Coupling with the email gate used to garner the information of the thousands who surely downloaded this track for free, I left feeling slighted. Such manipulation of their fans comes across as unjust and undeserved.
The infamous deadmau5 summed it up perfectly in one tweet:
what a shocker. prerecorded. closes browser.

The release boldly states a new direction for the pair, however, with heavy rock origins and masterful production. The sisters nail the vocals and vibe to a tee, and a bright future may await them in the arena of hybrid rock; but it’s the lyrics that serve to leave me speechless.
one more word before I break
look before you fall from grace
read my lips and shut your face
maybe you’re the one to blame
same old story every day
trip and fall and run away
the truth is gonna find you,
life is gonna fuck you
It’s harsh, it’s vulgar, and one could even argue it’s a step too far from the trio turned duo.
this is some immature childish taylor swift shit. writing a song about your ex band member? seriously? -_-
Its annoying, its childish, and it sounds like absolute garbage. Rain Man WAS their production he made the music, the girls just added a face to it. No track they make will ever compare to one minutes original release. And they will never do anything like it again without the producer that defined Krewella
Are they 12? What the fuck is this over dramatic shit
the track sucks… I like krewella.. I’ll support both Kris and krewella but if krewella continues with this metal but not really, trying to be pendulum but failing type of stuff.. I’d rather not listen to them anymore. (I love metal and pendulum so I’m not saying that the direction is wrong the track just sucks shit)
goodbye krewella…cos that S is dead. this track says who really cultivated the sound that made you guys. while also making us think you had something to say and it was really a ploy. if we wanted to hear your new track. we would have. but thanks for forcing it.
Lyric meanings aside, it sounds nothing like Krewella. Maybe you needed your buddy more than you think, huh?
This new evanescence/Paramore track is just like the new logo. Just ehhh
Krewella sucked with rain man but now maybe he can do what really matters all those girls did was jump around stage and steal the lime light while rain sat around made the playlists and did good dj things while those two girls get wasted and dance around rain man wins lawsuit
They are simply terrible. And. Not talented in the slightest.
Different sound then what im use to hearing but the song is catchy and the beat was good. Besides every artist changes with each album
Can nobody else just see through their marketing ploy, no matter how much bashing they are doing this is bringing in a lot of attention to krewella and their old stuff, thus Rain Man gets paid and so do the sisters, really they should just chose one genre or the other it sounds like a decent metal song but poorly recorded forced through Izotope and trying to be pushed off as ground breaking EDM
shit is dope. itz all about perception: if you listen to it believing its about kris, you’re gonna think its stupid af. but if you just sit back and capture the vibrant energy of the track, its FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!! This shit is flameee
So Krewella is not only composed of two cruel bitches. At least the name sticks.
I hope my signed Krewella album is worth more money now 😀 HAHAHAHA!!!
This sounds like something they would play in a hot topic…
“masterful production”. LOL good one buddy!
“vulgar and harsh.” Not really.
Not that bad but the logo is extremly ugly!
