That's not to say that she's bad or even that most of those songs are bad, but your take reads more like "I love Charli and hate Gaga" pretending to have a justification that doesn't exist 5 Quote 12 hours ago, Tana Mongeau said: eating pure vagina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anonymcomenter 4,675 Posted June 30, 2023 She really served with this! What a BoP! Come on sis, should have been in Crash instead of Beg For You. It’s like Sucker meets Pop 2 also the Hey Miki sample is the example of a sample cleverly done this time 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VV, N1A, POP2, Charli, HIFN, and in my opinion yes Speed Drive. Gaga hasn’t made an interesting song since 2013. Point blank. And I LOVE Gaga’s pre-Joanne output. But she just doesn’t do anything besides safe lately. And that’s unfortunate for such a “risk taker” 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xcxuwu 9 Posted June 30, 2023 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 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glitter Boy 16,560 Posted June 30, 2023 I like Speed Drive EXCEPT for the Hey Mickey interpolation corny af but I think it will grow on me eventually Also wtf is that length, not even 2 minutes? damn. a cute little bridge would've been very appreciated. 2 Quote "I'm wild, I'm free, no man can handle me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charli has made it clear that she doesn’t write music to be “TikTok friendly” it’s more likely they sent her the car chase scene and she wrote the song specifically for the scene which will not be more than 2 minutes (probably less) in the movie itself 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
