- Charli XCX releases song with Billie Eilish
British singer Charli XCX has teamed up with American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish for a new remix version of her song "Guess". This is the first time the two artists have collaborated, according to a statement from the music label Warner.
"Guess" with Billie, how do I come back from that?" (translated: "Guess" with Billie, how do I calm down after that?), Charli XCX gushes in a post on the platform X. In June, the 32-year-old released her sixth studio album "Brat" ("Go-re"). The album title and its neon green aesthetic became an internet phenomenon. According to the singer, "brat" represents a certain way of life.
In the new interpretation of the song, Billie Eilish takes on a verse and harmonies. In the accompanying music video, underwear flies through the air at a wild house party during the line "You wanna guess the color of my underwear?" Then, Billie Eilish crashes through the house wall with a backhoe. The musicians then embark on a city-wide underwear adventure together.
Charli XCX gained fame in the early 2010s with hits like "Break the Rules" and "Boom Clap". Last year, her song "Speed Drive" was the soundtrack for the Barbie film. "Guess" is not the only remix. Recently, Charli XCX has also released tracks with Lorde, among others, such as "The Girl, So Confusing".
