Charli XCX f/ Billie Eilish - "Guess"


Recommended Posts

Posted

When I heard the remix for the first time, I thought it was great but not as hard-hitting as the original. But wow, after a few listens, it's really so much better and elevates the song for me. And after the amazing video? It's an 11/10.

 

Also… Am I just imagining it or did they change the mixing in Billie's verse? It sounds clearer compared to when I first heard it…

Another god damn smash. The scale of these collabs my god :jonnycat: Lorde, Billie, Robyn, even my girl Addison like the variety, the flavour,  the scale. Ms. XCX isn't playing!

Uff don't say that @Squall might get a seizure

If it's actually smashing, it would be completely logical, you guys' obsession truly is something else :rip:

This song gagged me the same way Stay Away did in 2013 when I first heard it

Not the biggest Charli fan, except few songs but videos this era are all very cool.

And the song is bop ;)

The way Charli and Billie are both in Barbie Summer 2023 and Brat Summer 2024.

Charli is the perfect pop star

 

She knows how to make pop fun and accessible. She isn't specially catering to her personal fanbase and stans. There aren't layers and layers of complex and boring Charli lore you have to understand.

Okay maybe I have to eat my words this goes crazy :jonny5:

 

At first I didn't like Billie's heavier GUESS in the outro but it's kind of hitting hard now

The alternate "guess" at the end is soooo satisfying

This is honestly what I love about her. She's just having fun and making the music she wants. Sure, there's some lore for the fans (ex. XCX World getting leaked from her Google Drive) but you're not really required to know that to appreciate her songs. They're just fun bops! And it's so funny to me how some people are so pressed and bothered over BRAT's success.

The thing with Charli is, there actually are layers to her lore that she heavily references, even on BRAT

 

"Call me Gabriette", "I'm so Julia" > referencing her personal friends and her internet it girl status

"Legacy is undebated" > referencing her impact on hyperpop and PC music that has been well documented by music critics 

"I wanna dance with with AG, George, SOPHIE" etc > her crew that she's been riding with forever 

"You wanna guess the password to my Google Drive" > referencing the XCX World leak that altered her career

 

It's just that the music is actually just insanely good so you don't HAVE to get these references, you could just be listening to a great song 

 

Whereas others very much use their lore as a crutch for their music to stand on

Billie isn't adding any substance here, is her singing voice always so low anyway? Also the Lorde remix of "Girl, So Confusing" was more deserving of a video.
