At the commencement of every one of these “negative reviews”, I always specify my opinion and verdict about them. This is not antipathy, and most of the time if we don’t appreciate a composition we disregard it, but at times it falls in our raison d’être to warn our readers about the extremely despicable things that are happening in the industry.

DV&LM have already prosperously resided in our blacklist for many and often unstated reasons… Among which contains the overall demeaning mannerisms towards their fans and the industry, incessant ghost-produced releases, repetitive sound, and plethora of negative decisions. But “Carnival” is an archetypal specimen of what seems to be working nowadays: hype and ballyhoos. Certain acts are even aware that creativity is dispensable: just making collaborations with other big-shots often results in an excited audience, whose sole motivation will be listening to it nonetheless.

This is the main reasons why I despise “Carnival”; it’s a revenue-snatching machine with its sleazy modus operandi solely set on faux publicizing; albeit an exercise in futility. But, there is, even more, we have to discuss in bullet points, listed as follows:

1. Probably this achieves the world record of ghostproduced artists involved in a single tune, unabashedly. Like, ALL of them. Seven artists who didn’t do anything apart from paying and slapping their brand on this “thing”.

2. MATTN. Nothing more to add.

3. Uncreative and insipid to the core. With the melody and title nicked from Dario G’s creation “Carneval De Paris”, the structure has been taken from “The Hum”/”Tremor”, the usual commonplace Big Room style we are hearing for what, five years now? They just tweaked a melody in another project and switched the lead with a bagpipe in the break. There isn’t ANYTHING TO REVIEW…

4. No efforts. The blunderous sloppiness in this is admirable to certain extents.
   The ghost-producer could have least tried to embed some Brazilian vibes, which is generally attributed to carnival music. What could have been a listenable piece of music, turned into a vainglorious attempt. Any slight potential of betterment was thrown away effortlessly.

So, this is it. An impudent ruse.
A bunch of famous names together, without a single sign of creative expenditure (apart from the monetary aspect) shown. You are free to listen to whatever you want, but if your auditory senses are delighted by “Carnival”, indeed let me know why. Nominating this as music would be sacrilegious. Let your sensibility refrain you from supporting this flim-flam.
