Brat Summer time (RIP) has simply sufficient fuel left within the tank to ship Billie Eilish crashing by means of the fourth wall. She’s the most recent movie star visitor to seem beside Charli XCX on this new remix of “Guess,” a bizarre noodle of an electroclash observe about how annoying it’s when everybody’s up in your enterprise, however make it flirty. Eilish makes it even flirtier: Driving the excessive of her sapphic crush track “Lunch,” she’s obtained panties on the mind and whispery seduction in her voice. The underwear-flinging video racked up two million views in a single day.
Each remix and unique Brat and it’s the identical however there’s three extra songs so it’s not bonus observe are produced by Harrison Patrick Smith, aka the Dare, who layers slightly further bass underneath Eilish’s half, as if she’s simply noticed the woman she likes and her coronary heart’s pounding. The aura of realism and allusion to the singers’ real-life texts means “Guess that includes Billie Eilish” performs out within the casually self-referential fashion of BRAT and notably “The woman so complicated remix with Lorde,” which unpacked emotions of mutual admiration and envy. In “Guess” we get a peek at a way more amusing supply of hidden pressure between besties: the type the place it’s all love, however certainly one of them is straight so it’s not. Truthfully it’s an under-appreciated topic! Charli’s half on the remix shouldn’t be a lot modified however Brat-ified Billie is value extending summer time another day.
