What parents need to know
Parents need to know that while the Chester French boys sport an innocent, clean-cut look, their song actually deals with mature themes: a domineering girl who sleeps around and a guy who keeps going back for more of her abuse.
What's the story?
Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, and Jermaine Dupri are just a few of the superstars who've taken note of newcomers Chester French, a duo of two recent Harvard grads (D.A. Wallach and Maxwell Drummey) creating pop music with a hip-hop nuance. SHE LOVES EVERYBODY, the group's first single from their forthcoming record, Love the Future, gives a tongue-in-cheek account of a guy who's smitten with a promiscuous, controlling girl. The video takes an oddly serious turn, depicting the duo being beaten nearly senseless by a dominatrix-type woman.
Is it any good?
She Loves Everybody demonstrates that a good song doesn't have to be complicated: the tune is built around a basic but catchy melody and repetitive yet memorable verses. Lead singer Wallach adds pure, plaintive vocals that pull the whole track together, resulting in one of those sticks-in-your-brain (in a good way) songs. Despite the great sound, however, the song's allusions to promiscuity and the video's violent scenes make them too mature for the tween set.

Talk to your kids about this.
I disagree with the reviewer on one thing, the reviewer says "violence: not an issue". However, in the music video for She Loves Everybody, a girl beats up the two guys and there is some blood. I think parents may need to discuss this with their kids.
