Charli and SOPHIE were such a magical combination, 2 people that truly understand pop music. Been listening to the Vroom Vroom EP a lot lately and hyperfixating on specifically the Paradise outro. The lyrics aren’t complex or deep but they evoke such a strong euphoric feeling like there’s so much emotion in simple pop lyrics and the way Charli delivers them on top of SOPHIE’s production is so excellent. It’s one of those little moments that really show their genius. Running away and surfing on starlight rainbows and waterfalls in my dreams

yeah they truly complemented each other and VV is such a flawless body of work. Laura snapes needs to end up in hell for that god awful review she did

This might sound like a dumb question but what is a spike mix?

Spike is the professional mixing engineer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Stent that was paid to work on mixes for XCX before it got delayed/scrapped. He mixed After the Afterparty, Can You Hear Me, Down Like Wow, Girls Night Out, Good Girls, I Wanna Be With You, Queen Lizzy and Waterfall. So the "SPIKE REF" tag on those songs basically mean "Spike's reference mix"

these mixes are so clean

 

This is my tracklist which is based on the draft we have with the demo songs removed and the other songs placed where they fit best + taxi and boys as bonus tracks

 here's the now deleted info on the Spike mixes that Blackoutzone posted years ago on ATRL:

In early album stages AG Cook was asked to come up with a visual plan for the era, he called it XCX Manifesto and wrote it all by himself and presented as his art direction for XCX3. It was never 100% finalized although they based some of the visuals on it, cause it was cool. That leaked picture is just a small part of whole thing AG Cook wrote originally.

The "draft tracklist from June 2016" is not really an actual tracklist either, the album was still heavily worked on, but Charli's manager asked her, just to have an idea, IF an album was to be released now what would be the tracklist, so she pieced it together to have something as for that day. Also at that time Bounce was solo
 
Things started taking real shape when in late 2016 when Spike Stent, popular mixing engineer got requested and paid to mix Charli's album or more exactly 12 songs. Shortly after 12 got narrowed to 9 for unknown reasons and that's exactly what happened. Spike mixed and mastered the following songs by november 2016
After The Afterparty - which was ready earlier and already released
Can You Hear Me?
Die 4
Down Like Wow
Girls Night Out
Good Girls
I Wanna Be With You
Queen Lizzy
Waterfall
 
mystery remains in 3 remaining tracks and why would they get pulled just shortly after Spike got booked for mixing of 12 songs. it's more probable that she decided to do some last minute changes or adjustments. One of the 3 songs would for sure be Bounce and HERE is where Kyary probably steps in and the song was possibly not ready for mastering yet, That's why the Bounce she performed on Kimmel isn't necessarily final final, it's simply the last version she managed to get ready FOR the performance. The remaining 2 songs are unknown (likely ctmp and no angel)
The 3 songs and "issues" with them must have been crucial and time consuming, maybe that's why we got N1A to feed us while we wait

Lowkey don’t think 320 versions exist tbh… spike usually bounces his mp3 mixes in 192. But I’d love to be wrong because waterfall real mix lossless would be a dream 

[alan 2,014]

so Spike mixed Come to My Party too or not even close to it? 
i remember SOPHIE being the one who ''mastered'' the original No Angel, Taxi idk, but CTMP sounds good and LQ at the same time on these new files

Spike didn’t mix CMTP or Bounce, those versions were just put in the folder as the most updated. Not sure if CMTP even made it that far on the tracklist, but from what I recall there were plans for Bounce to be mixed, but it got delayed due to something feature related.

[lakeemmahottie 1,675]

wait someone fill me in im confused. so are these the versions charli was gonna release? Does that makes the songs we had beforehand earlier development versions? I'm just confused lol
