Ashley O & Ally Are Fictional Crossover Gold With ‘On a Roll’/’Why Did You Do That’ Mashup: Listen
by Andrew Unterberger / billboard.com
This Mashup video made by AnDy Wu on June 25th was praised by the online magazine Billboard.com on July 9th, 2019.
“It’s the stuff that Pop Twitter dreams are made of: Mashup artist AnDy Wu has done the world the great service as mashing up two of the great fictional pop songs of the last year.”
“Almost regardless of which vocal is being laid over which beat, the mashup’s momentum never sags, as each of the two songs just seem to add to the other’s cheese-pop thrust. Both songs toe the line between pop satire and pop gold so giddily that the rush of hearing them both at once feels almost like a health risk.”
“Just in case we didn’t properly appreciate how lucky we were to get both of them within a nine-month period, Wu’s mashup makes it clear what a glorious time this is for established pop stars playing dress-up as cartoonish alternate-timeline versions of their former selves.”
