Hex Posted October 10 Posted October 10 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 1
Hex Posted October 10 Posted October 10 (edited) Also, perched for 365 remix to be on streaming because it's crafted perfectly for back to back () listens Edited October 10 by Hex

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. 1

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
Contessa Posted October 10 Posted October 10 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

It keeps their fans excited and makes their sets more interesting. 2
Rihinvention Posted October 10 Posted October 10 (edited) 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.

Rihinvention Posted October 10 Posted October 10 1 minute ago, Kern said: that would sound silly af 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. 1

Rihinvention Posted October 10 Posted October 10 (edited) 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. Edited October 10 by Rihinvention

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.

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.

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.
