The Kid LAROI, Jung Kook & Central Cee, TOO MUCH | Song Review 🎵

The Kid LAROI, Jung Kook, and Central Cee join forces for an enjoyable and fun pop single,  that’s never “TOO MUCH.”

“Let me love you the way that I do now / I never knew how.” Well, that’s sad 😢.  What isn’t sad is a superstar collaboration! Australian rapper/singer 🎙 The Kid LAROI (Charlton Howard), South Korean pop singer 🎙 Jung Kook, and British rapper 🎙 Central Cee join forces on the pop single, 🎵 “TOO MUCH”. This one is giving #INTERNATIONAL! The nearly three-and-a-half-minute long record was written by Howard and Central Ce alongside a team comprised of 🎼 ✍ Billy Walsh, Blake Slatkin, Emile Haynie, Jasper Harris, Justin Bieber (!), and Omer Fedi. In addition to credits as songwriters, Fedi, Harris, Slatikin, and Haynie also produce the record.  The results are positive – enjoyable by all means.

Jung Kook is the first voice we hear, singing the chorus in lovely fashion. “Uh, if we had the chance and the time to spend / Would you do it again? Would you do it again?” he sings, adding, “Was it too much?” The Kid LAROI contributes the titular lyric, before taking the reins in the first verse. Matters of the heart dictate as he depicts a failing relationship. It’s worth noting that Charlton delivers one of his best sung performance. Continuing on, in the pre-chorus, he misses her something fierce, asserting, “So, I’m layin’ in my bed, tripped off the shrooms / I’ll be dead before I’m without you now / Realizin’ I’m addicted to you now.” We see what you did there, Charlton! Central Cee gets in on the action in the second verse, serving as the main reason “TOO MUCH” earns the parental advisory sticker 🤬.  That British accent adds some charm: “When your girlfriends tell you I been fuckin’ ‘round / Would you believe me if I told you that they lyin’ and that’s just a rumor.” Word.  Supported by a banging beat and colorful backdrop, The Kid LAROI, Jung Kook, and Central Cee put together an enjoyable record. It’s not game changing but all in all, fun.
