Highlighting their latest single, "Vacation," Desperate Electric expands the song's sonic atmosphere with punchy drums, soulful guitars, and unique vocal arrangements. While Kayti Korte delivers her powerhouse vocals that take us back a few decades, Ben Morris adds a perfect modern twist through his playful vocals and contemporary undertones." -Buzz Music
​
Karaoke is a groovy little number that will get anyone on the dance floor. With a load of funk and soul, the duo has so much energy flowing through their instruments and their voices. The beat is so playful, funky and versatile. The bass line and the melodies are so flavorful with electricity flowing from them to the listener. —Sinusoidal Music
The track runs over five minutes in length but there’s no sense of wasted motion marring the recording. Desperate Electric, likewise, are talented enough to subsume their influences into the songwriting to such a degree their sound is familiar yet never imitative. Bands capable of making their frame of reference less than obvious deserve our attention. -The Hollywood Digest
