The last 1:30 of IMSSS Remix is literally top 10 moment in her discography, y'all are def sleeping on it (literally) because of the very tedious first 2/3 of the song

Also, perched for 365 remix to be on streaming because it's crafted perfectly for back to back (:eli:) listens

Idk why people expected the Boiler Room mixes to be the album?? A DJ set is always that… a DJ set. Like they incorporated some of the songs on the remix album into the set but yeah idk how to explain it differently than a set is a set, not an album 

Well DJs do not produce songs live so it means the remixes were already produced and done before those sets, they were not mixing the original versions of the songs with other songs, the George remix of Mean Girls even had new vocals, so I guess it's normal to think that they were going to be part of this. Specially considering that the first time we heard the Von Dutch, 365 and Club Classics remixes were also there.

Yes but DJs also don't mix every song independently and then make a set. DJs very much mix the songs in the set within that context, it's more important to them how the entire things flows and sounds than the songs independently

Um DJ edits are def a common thing. Where they mix the instrumentals and vocals together before a set so it's easier to transition, play multiple tracks at once

You are proving my point :rip: yes, they don't mix every song independently and that's the thing, when you listen to the Mean Girls version that George played the beat is completely different that the songs it was mixed with (SOPHIE's Faceshopping and Ice Spice's Deli), so it was a completely independent remix that was made before the set.

Lots of (good) DJs make remixes exclusively just for DJ sets. It keeps their fans excited and makes their sets more interesting.

My only pet peeve with the 'Guess' remix was that Charli sang, "You wanna know if we're serious about this song" when the word "track"  was right there and rhymed perfectly.

 

She's done it again on the 'Sympathy Is A Knife' remix…

 

"It's a knife when you're finally on top,

Cause logically the next step is they wanna see you fall to the bottom,

It's a knife when you're finally on top,

Cause logically the next step is they wanna see you fall-fall-fall"

 

…are they serious?

 

The word "flop" was right there.

 

I know it's a silly nit to pick, but it's pissing me off. She has to be doing it on purpose, because the obvious rhymes are so…obvious?

Yes, but since the Mean Girls one even had brand new vocals I think it was normal to think that it was going to be used for more than just one set.

Agree to disagree then. Half the song is directed at stans, and it's a very commonly used word in stan culture.

 

Pop music usually rhymes. If we said, "lol, that's silly" about every pop song that had a lyric that rhymed, we'd have like 7 songs left.

I never assume anymore just because Charli plays something live that it will get released

My initial reaction:

 

– The original versions of my favourite beat songs are still better.

 

– The remixes of my least favourites brat songs have been made better.

 

– I think people have become overly critical of "a remix is more than just slapping a verse on a song." Personally, I don't have a problem with that. Most of these feel like entirely new songs, often in a 'Club Future Nostalgia' (derogatory) way.

 

– Of the "completely reworked the songs" remixes, Troye's is the standout, and easily the best. He has great taste, and bringing melodic house to the album really captured what I would actually hear in the clubs I go to.

 

– Club Classics is also surprisingly good.

 

– It feels like it was made for her loyal, hyper-pop stans (which isn't me) who were dedicated to her before she blew up. It's way more Pop 2/Number 1 Angel  than I expected, and didn't want.

Charli's spoken at length about disregarding typical pop songwriting/structure for this album….as recent as during the Grammys Summit with Troye.

 

Do you guys not dive into these interviews? Would absolutely give more context to artistic choices and eliminate a lot of false expectations that lead to unnecessary complaints.

No, I definitely do. Most recently in her Zane Lowe interview, she spoke about how 'I think about it all the time' was written to be kinda clunky, and mentioned The Streets and Mike Skinner were the reference for the cadence.

 

Just because someone doesn't like something doesn't mean they don't understand it. I was just talking about this in another thread lol

 

News flash: I like different things to you because I'm a different person to you.

once again proving that stans have absolutely no place in the writing room lmfao

1. No you didn't, it's really not that  funny. And 2. Not the repetition. I like pop, not Kidz Bop.

 

Besides, it's Ariana who sings it, so rhyming isn't outside the realm of her own songwriting at all.

 

I'm just saying I'm surprised at how hyper-pop the uptempo remixes are. I thought it would be more techno, progressive house, and melodic house.

 

I'm surprised that she would make remixes that sound like they're for her diehard stans, and then sing, "my career still feels small in the existential scheme of it all."

 

I know her intention is to lean even further into the niche, yet I'm still surprised that she did it with this many eyes on her.
