Y’all be on some random shit in this Charli thread

OKAY SO, I went ahead and extended Speed Drive myself: new intro, looped first chorus and new bridge/hook (kinda) before the last chorus
Runtime in now 3:32, which is even longer than expected honestly 
Let me know what y'all think about it

She definitely browses analboards Idc what she said about that either, lie upon lie me thinks 

we need to take everything that Charli says with a pinch of salt because I never know when this girl is telling the truth anymore

Really loving Speed Drive! I’m so glad Charli decided to turn back the clock with her topline, because her talent as a writer always been better showcased with her more rhythm-focused melodies where she riffs on one or two notes rather than melodies based on note progression. In fact, i think I remember from somewhere that Charli was complimented by Max Martin himself for her ability to get so much out of her hooks in I Love It, Fancy, Boom Clap, et al. I hope this signals that she is looking to return to the techniques she used in her songwriting era when she had writing credits on a bunch of hits. 

I’m also OBSESSED with the Cobrastyle sampled used by EASYFUN. To my ears it sounds moreso like a synth recreation rather than a direct sample because the synth he uses has his signature glucky sound to it, whereas Klås’s synth in Cobrastyle has significantly more decay to it. Praying Charli and EASYFUN have been in a lot more sessions together, which is likely since Charli listed him on the 360_brat instagram post

opening this thread feels like venturing in a whole new dark corner of lanaboards 

The 911 remix was panned by gaga fans and honestly is sonicly too much with the auto tune overtaking the instrumental.
 
Crash was fun pop work and well made- spring breakers sounds great and I can’t wait for it to be finalised.
 
Speed drive is a 911 situation for me and very charli era but I haven’t listened in full because my ears are f*cked right now.

Are YOU not embarrassed - crash is one of her best works wth

that's because it's not real lmao
 
these are the real writers of Speed Drive:
Charli XCX, EASYFUN, Busy Bee, Mad Cobra, Phat Fabe, Joakim Åhlund, Klas Åhlund, Patrik Arve, Sylvia Robinson, Troyton Rami, Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn
 
Speed Drive itself samples 2 songs: Robyn's cover of Cobrastyle and Mickey by Toni Basil. Cobrastyle was written by Klas Åhlund, Joakim Åhlund, Patrik Arve, Mad Cobra, Phat Fabe, Troyton Rami, Busy Bee and Sylvia Robinson; while Mickey was written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman.
 
only charli and easyfun actually wrote speed drive 

Okay but why does he sound like a British producer

Written by Charlotte Aitchison, David James Parker, Easyfun, Ewart Everton Brown, Colleen Ballinger, Fabian Peter Torsson, Matty Healy, FKA Twigs, Joakim Frans Ahlund, Pope Francis I, Klas Frans Ahlund, Lemony Snicket, Zac Efron, Michael Chapman, Sky Ferreira, Nicholas Chinn, Abel Tesfaye, Patrik Knut Arve, Sylvia Robinson, Troy Rami

logic brain would say reasonable but gay ass charli stan brain says get better taste

they knew what they were doing making this song under two minutes, they are getting my entire 5 dollars i paid spotify this month i will be streaming on loop for the next week

I dont even need to listen to the rest of the Barbie Soundtrack to know that this will be (is) the best song in there. Period. The TR vibes on the post chorus as someone in here said *chefs kiss*; the beat, the vocals, the signature.
only Charli could deliver something like this. The Nicki Ice Spice collab and Dua song found dead in a ditch after this 

It's such an earworm literally can't stop listening to it there's something about it that scratches my brain (and its short ass length makes it very replayable)
like it's that serious to me

You guys just love to hate lol
This is XCX World reloaded and y’all complaining???? Dafuc

It’s cute! Nothing showstopping but I like it. It reminds me of Sucker kinda.

I see viral potential for a mashup of this song’s vocals over Haunted by Laura Les instrumental 

I like it. It's safe for her and for us, but it does capture her XCX-experimental side in a more accessible way. IDK how to verbalize this, but I'm enjoying it. 
The Robyn sample works so well and the Mickey-esque chants do too. There was def space for this to be fucking insane, but I'm whelmed with what we got.
 
Dunno why y'all are bitching about Barbie Girl. I'm sure it'll be dropping on krakenfiles soon.

If AG never played that snippet of Barbie Girl/World y'all would be eating this up. I'm convinced y'all just love to look for reasons  to be disappointed at this point 

Why do you hate fun

the li-i-i-ights part turned my bisexual ass on i- 

the mastering of the chorus being randomly so much louder than the rest of the song is sending
