Very rarely do I say this, but Vivienne Medrano made me cringe and not in a good way. I’m not sure if it was the music or the character himself, but it wasn’t entertaining as I thought it would be.

While I respect the boundaries Medrano has for her characters and elevating the world of Hell to make it colorful and not having be gloomy, this didn’t feel like the raunchy yet sensitive humor Helluva Boss has. This music video was more raunchy and no foundation to counteract the raunchiness the show/shorts usually have.

To be fair to Medrano, this was a music video and we’re getting introduced to a character we haven’t seen in a while, however I don’t think this was the way to go. The music had no elevation, it was all one beat and the lyrics were uncomfortable at times. The Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel music has some edge to the lyrics, but the score is elevated so we get different styles in one song. This, however had no elevation of the score or characters.

This might be your cup of tea, but for me, it wasn’t good and think Medrano could’ve done more with Chaz instead of a music video. Bring out the comedy/charm that Helluva Boss has.
