I hope we'll get more remixes in the style of Von dutch, a new feature together with a producer that didn't work on that song but will keep her general sound (PC Music adjacent people and people that can make similar sounds, just no more Alan Walker remix of ATAP). Would be nice if multiple, but not all of the remixes also included input from Charli through new lyrics or something.

Thinking back to "So I" I think she kind of missed some opportunities there. Everything is referencing "It's Okay To Cry", which to say it bluntly is kind of the obvious choice and not very representative of SOPHIE's work, it's a pop song with an outro that screams SOPHIE, not a quintessential SOPHIE song. Not to say she shouldn't have used it but what about making a reference to "JUST LIKE WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE", "Paradise", "Immaterial" or even the bridge in "Faceshopping"? Those would all work and show a deeper connection, similarly sampling the production of a different song could have added another layer. I'm not calling the song bad or cheap, I just feel like it could have been a better tribute, still I'm glad we're getting it.

Don't worry, I can keep the spring breaker delusions going. It's not on the album, it is a bonus track on the as of yet unconfirmed remix album with an amazing feature. Though I'm pretty sure it will be played on tour regardless, at worst it's a party 4 u kind of deal.
-
Not you implying Von dutch is a weaker lead than I think about it all of the time? That songs could have track 10, Secret or Silver Cross's production and it'd still be way worse than Von dutch. This is a wild take...
-
Let's switch it up, keep spring breakers, leak Barbie Girl with verses
-
Not this again, I thought they had settled it by forcing EASYFUN to go all caps instead of easyFun. Can they leave him alone for just one second?
-
God this was way better than I imagined, we really missed out on seeing this live, huh?
-
whoever said "It's bring your boyfriend to work day" I love you hahahahahah
-
honestly wasn't living until WTMI, that went hard
-
This build feels so Track 10, he really is the best thing to happen to music
-
AG's going hard, love this and then into the softest version of Britpop anyone ever heard to then go hard again, never change dude
-
Maybe Charli is a bit pissed. She said in the past that she somtimes feels like she isn't good enough, she writes all these hits for other artists, but never enters the billboard 100 (save for Crash). This expicitly refers to Camilla with Señorita and now she's coming for her style. I feel if it was anyone else like Miley Cyrus, she'd be less pressed, but this seems personal. Of course I can't read her mind and am just psychoanalysing my own speculation of her thoughts.mp3
-
I don't hear "I got it" at all in "I luv it", but she did steal from Charli. Specifically from "Unlock it" by having a bad rap feature on the song that almost ruins it. Betting for a no boys remix
-
I would be scared of this, because the constant transitions on chromatica made all the songs blend together, nothing really stood out apart from 911 and Babylon, but AG and the other producers are good enough to avoid that pitfall. It's not like any of the songs we know of sound the same.
-
Have some of you forgotten that we're in the age of streaming? Artists only make money when touring, this is definitely not the actual tour, you're just saying that because it would mean we're getting the album sooner... With 7 shows she'd make back the money of the speed drive music video (not von dutch), the cost of that ugly cover and a kebab. She's going to tour for several months, just like she did before. A reminder that if covid didn't happen the Charli tour would still have been ongoing by the release date of HIFN...
-
OK, maybe I was wrong on the remix. It's insanely catchy and while I still don't like the bit right before the scream as much, the drop has grown on me. He didn't flop, just went for another sound than I was expecting.
-
Idk, I kind of think AG flopped on this one. I already felt like the drop on that final chorus was subpar on the original, but the one on the remix is worse? Let's hope Britpop will be better... I do like the new lyrics with Adison Rae and the call out of toxic "fans" at the end though. The original did grow on me, so maybe the remix will too, I'm still listening to it
-
I haven't listened to pre-Vroom Vroom Charli, but if you want to check out her more experimental stuff, I'd recommend starting with Number 1 Angel as a bridge between convential pop, electronic music and "hyperpop". Then check out Pop2 and then Vroom Vroom, that EP was way too experimental for me when I first heard it, but now I love it. From there just go in order but be sure to not skip the 2018-2019 droplets era and XCX World. Use this tracker to check out XCX World as well as her other unreleased. Most of her best work has a star next to it. Sadly some links did expire, which will be fixed eventually, but a lot of the songs exist on Soundcoud and YT if you want to listen to them.
-
while we're on the topic, who else do we think might open for her this time around?
-
I didn't realise her tours start like a week after album release, thank God we won't need to wait to long after the album release. Though for some of us she'll only be here 2 months later...
-
I didn't pay attention to it during crash and wasn't here before that, but when can we start expecting a tour anouncement and the tour dates? I know it won't be tomorrow but I'd just like to know when we get this information usually, because I'm not going to Spain just for Charli...
-
I could do with that terrible AI cover of Charli singing Daddy Knows. The one where she can't hold a note and her lungs are giving out. It was amazing!
-
Gil, I admire your optimism, but come on. Doesn't reality hurt you every time you see another hopeful prediction being proven to be nothing more than wishfull thinking? I'm not trying to be mean, I just worry about you.
-
I thought about that too, since she's teased it too much while saying it isn't on the album. I don't think so though, it would be a weird choice, Xcxoplex, Heavy, Bullets even No Body... They are all relatively deep songs where the production can shine. The production is good, but not good enough for an AG album I think. It's also very much about being a ravey brat, which isn't the theme of Britpop.
-
Was that tweet misogynous in some way, more than likely, but she can't defend herself, most people that dislike the cover just think it sucks. I don't mind the other 3, I like Dua's and Taylor's and I don't know about Ariana's but I guess it will fit the vibe of the record. Charli's though... It isn't her first time without her face front and center. I wasn't there at the time but did people react negatively to the vroom vroom artwork being just a car? Because I like that one, I think it works, I can't say the same about brat. The difference in between those 2 reactions isn't misogyny, it's people disliking ugly / low effort stuff. If she was just defending her contemporaries I'd be right there with her, but I feel like if her album wasn't brought up, she wouldn't have cared one bit.
