Charli xcx is on the cover of Billboard and spoke with them about her latest album, brat and working it out with Lorde on the remix of "Girl, so confusing".
"I had to go through the process of telling her that this song is about her and her being OK with that first. I was trying to meet up with her for almost a year, and we kept having this weird, like, we were, then we wouldn’t. It spoke to the narrative of the song itself. In the end, it didn’t work out. Then the day before the record came out, I left her a voice note. [She] replied straight away and was like, 'Oh, my God, I had no idea you felt this way. I'm so sorry.' And then was like, 'You know, maybe I should be on a version of the song.' I didn’t even ask her. She brought it up. So much of this rollout was planned, but sometimes it was not. Lorde’s remix of 'Girl, so confusing' is a perfect example. That wasn’t planned. It took three days total.
"It’s funny. When I was listening to [Lorde’s] verse for the first time, I was backstage at the show. My hair stylist also does her hair. He had also just done her hair for the show, too, so he was just with her, and then he came to me and was like, 'I'm so happy you guys are good.'"
As for the future, Charli answered “Yes,” when asked if there were more remixes planned but offered nothing else. She's also planning on going to Poland for three weeks in August with a mystery someone to write a film script.
"I saw this tweet the other day that was like, ‘Does anyone think that this is Charli’s last album?’... Then I was like, ‘Actually, that could be cool if I didn’t really make music anymore after this.’ I’m definitely thinking about it because I really want to act. I don’t know. I’m just so deep in this, I can’t see outside of brat, but it’s funny. I kind of want to make a Lou Reed record, to be honest. That would definitely be a pretty big swing.”
