i will say that those on the vinyl collecting side of TikTok are both variants collectors and huge fans of many pop artists, Taylor and Charli included, so over there i have seen instances where people are shelling out hundreds for all the Brat variants
Hopefully saving Hello Goodbye for last will get more people's ears on it as I've thought the original was extremely underrated by fans since release. The buildup and the way it pops off is so good.
when hellogoodbye remix is inevitably out, I'm gonna have to do a runthrough of the album alternating standard and remix back to back to back
Stray thoughts from my 6th listen: Okay, I've come around on Robyn Young Lean 360. Feels like they're all just having fun interacting with and influencing each other. Now my lyrics on your booby. Wheennnn iiii ggooo toooo theeee clubbb clubbbb i wanna hear a 365 remix like like whoooo theee fuckkkk are youuuu im a brattt when im bumpin thaaaat People have been clowning on Sympathy lyrically, but I'm actually surprised by how well Ariana fits on the track. Issa banger I Might Say Something Stupid is The 1975 at their most interesting. Just a gorgeous song. Completely forgot that was Dua on Talk Talk. Troyeee babby. Addison Rae doesn't get nearly enough praise for really going for that scream on Von Dutch The first time I listened to Everything is Romantic I remember thinking the lyrics were very Caroline. Her jumping on the remix to flip it and sing about free bleeding, foxes fucking, and cheap wine is soo funny. ACAB is right. Rewind might be the weakest song on here? AG So I is so so lovely. Now I wanna think about all the good times. Beautiful. Nobody can convince me that Lorde so confusing isn't the greatest song ever written. Japanese Apple is actually what I thought The 1975 would have done with Something Stupid. Both tracks are great for completely different reasons. Unfortunately Tinashe doesn't really fit on B2b. Vocally she usually sounds at her best when she's riding on a track, but she kind of gets washed out here. I know it's already been pointed out but thiiss one thiss one thiss one's for all my owners of a lonely heart. I've cooled on Bonny Bear massively, but I can't deny that itaiatt is delightful. It took 8 months to finally get easyfun 365 but omg it was so worth it. That bassline is nuts. Shygirl is barely on here but her verse raises the track above the boiler room version for me. Second favourite song on here. All I can think about when I hear the Billie Guess is that video of Charli saying "I’m actually not bi um... so, yeah. But I'm really happy I’m giving you bi vibes cause that’s cool!" It's so nice to hear Kesha having fun. She deserves it.
Von Dutch and Sympathy were two of my favs off the original which I think made it hard to judge the remixes fairly on first listen (didn’t listen to Von Dutch until the album was out) but now I love them both, SIAK in particular is so catchy and the little layers on Ari’s part add a lot to that
