Denise Julia is part of the Tiktok algorithm renaissance – wherein a surge of ‘sounds’ spread around in different prompts, elevating the song to a different ‘vibe’ throughout its online charting success – or for short, “NVMD” has transcended to becoming more of a disposable brand than it is a bookmark to Julia’s career. From an emotional standpoint, it’s passive at one and “ride or die” at the next. This is Julia’s lyrical prowess not at her fullest. It’s disappointingly average and it remains as if it doesn’t surpass her contemporaries.

From its face value, “NVMD” doesn’t force its listeners to do anything or maybe prompt her audiences to receive anything that’s worthwhile. It’s your standard r&b track that barely crosses the point, with no bite and all bark. Denise Julia, like her previous singles, barely brings anything to the table. Her artistry brings less nuance from both lyrical and sonic standpoints. These are generic descriptions through and through, but there’s nothing else to point out how the letter ‘M’ in “NVMD” stands for “Mid”.
