Charli XCX - Crash (March 18, 2022) Album • Page 23

previews of the bonus tracks are fantastic. Sorry If I Hurt You feels like a true follow-up to True Romance.

 

lets ride

 

Thank you, very good point made. Extremely helpful

 

Didn't think this album could get any better but here these four other songs come and punch me in the face.

 

the deluxe tracks rule. what you think about me sounds like it could have been on xcx world

 

Deluxe songs are pretty cool, but do feel like b-sides to me. But it's Charli b-sides so that's not a bad thing. Sorry If I Hurt You is the standout to me right now

 

Yeah that's my favorite of the four deluxe tracks too

 

it's because of her rapping huh, haha

 

lol yeah the rapping but also the vocal melodies in the pre-chorus, the ad-libs, and the lyrics. also the bridge reminds me of good girls for some reason

cool they brought the guitar from crash back for the outro as well

 

George freaked it on as How Can I Not…wow

 

I almost want to hear the album the deluxe tracks were meant to be on, rather than head in the disco pop, Janet vibes - almost emo electropop

 

It's so satisfying to hear Selfish Girl, which is that song she previewed pre-pandemic

Sorry If I Hurt You is the closest to True Romance she's ever gotten, so it makes me feel so nostalgic. How Can I Not Know slaps, and I can totally hear George Daniel's production tricks on it. Honestly, I'd love her to keep collaborating with him and Lotus IV.

All in all, I'm really pleased with this era. I may be in the minority, but I realized I was having hyperpop fatigue after the S/T left my rotation as quickly as it came out. How I'm Feeling Now proved me wrong because I did love it, but in my mind I was still ready for a switch up, moreso vocally. I was really missing the way she used to sing or how her voice sounded like on True Romance or the more conventional Number 1 Angel tracks. This album ticks all the boxes for me, and I hope she expands on many of those newly explored sounds on future releases.

 

The bonus tracks are amazing. “How can I not….” And “sorry…” in particular should have been on the album proper instead of beg for you and yuck IMO.

 

I'm on Team "YUCK is a perfect song"

 

I've come around on it but it's still probably my least favourite.

 

Yuck reminds me of Good in Bed off Dua Lipas album. Almost feels out of place, but grows on you.

 

The rapping in the last track is so fire.

 

A definitive ranking of Charli XCX's collaborations

 

Wow all these new songs are amazing

 

"Love Gang" at 47 out of 50?????? WHAT ARE WE DOING, PEOPLE????? "Dirty Sexy Money" at 46????? "1 Night" at 37???? All while having "1999" at no. 2??????

Mad respect for "Lipgloss" in the top 3, though

 

cba to go through it since it's a dumb slideshow but if they ain't got Backseat with CRJ at number 1 then I don't want to know!

 

Number 5

 

Fancy is top ten regardless of what you think of Iggy, we wouldn't have any of the Charli we know and love without that and I Love It

 

I don’t think it sounds like “Swish Swish”, but I do think it leans on a popular and recognizable sample to its detriment, just like “Swish Swish” did.
