enissa11 2,984 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 i was hoping another type of metaphor in the video on top of the lyrics but it's alright, i guess she just went to the sacrifice cult thing in the name of the love she's begging. listening again i really dislike the "yeahs" at the end and throughout all the song. The choreo was really bland too. I really like the shots of charli on the ground with sand floating around and with her hair, it must have been difficult to perform.

A cover song and a sleep inducing video When your discography includes universally acclaimed bodies of work like Pop 2, Charli and how i'm feeling now - then yes, sometimes that's acceptable:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler k 5,330 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Loveeee the video it's so cute, I feel like it's purposefully more subdued than the others? I like the sacrifice/cult theme for this and with Rina esp because it feels very in line with the photo sets of selling your soul to the record industry Charli's been positing on IG and it reminds me of this tweet from the other day: I really enjoy what Charli's been doing with this era and how it's all unfolding. I think the video symbolizes Rina & Charli's eventual affect on pop music. I thought the inclusion of the electrical towers & that electricity that kept going up until I realized it's them sacrificing something/selling their souls to some cult for power over the electricity, over the radio waves perhaps? idk it's not that deep but this video was just so fun to me & I'm happy to see Charli leaning into the satanic vibes mmmy name ~isn't~ aliceee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester 6,319 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I have nothing against sampling, but unfortunately this really feels more like a cover than a new song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspiria 10,683 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 It's simple but pretty elegant IMO, and feels very contemporary. I like it, nothing too OTT but very well made. I think a lot of her videos fit this description. I'm really enjoying how cohesive this era is visually. All the videos and most of the photoshoots have stuck so strictly to the same colour palette and overall kinda things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s pretty much just singing over it and her message isn’t nearly as strong. I love both but this is just a reintroduction if it to a newer generation, far more than just sampling.

I am sorry, I guess everyone are required to be on Twitter and Gagadaily everyday. I should definitely devote my time to more important things like following Charli's Twitter and Instagram weekly news letter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't follow Charli but what is the point of copy pasting a song. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
