Charli XCX?is explosive, exuberant, out-of-control. She cruises in bubblegum-pink Ferraris and rages so hard she discovers glitter in her underwear at the after-afterparty. But on “Cross You Out,” a moody collaboration with?Sky Ferreira, her cocky, can’t-be-bothered attitude is nowhere to be found. Instead, she’s wounded, reeling from relationships that should have been cut off long ago. “When you’re not around,” she repeats over and over, like a promise to herself, “I’ll finally cross you out.”
Charli XCX爆發(fā)力超強(qiáng),充滿活力,并且曲風(fēng)自由。她可以在開著泡泡糖般粉色法拉利四處遨游,也可以在余興派對(duì)過后(譯者注:“After The Afterparty/余興派對(duì)過后”),因發(fā)現(xiàn)自己內(nèi)褲里還有派對(duì)亮片而突然炸毛。但在她和Sky Ferreira合作的 “Cross You Out(從我的世界中消失)”這首歌中,她以往高傲、自我的音樂態(tài)度卻不見蹤影。相反的是,她于一段本該早早結(jié)束的感情中無法自拔,并因此負(fù)傷累累?!癢hen you’re not around(當(dāng)你不在的時(shí)候)”,她一遍又一遍地重復(fù)著,更像是對(duì)她自己的一種期望,“I’ll finally cross you out(最后你會(huì)從我的世界中消失)”。
Produced by Lotus IV and?A.G. Cook, “Cross You Out” launches with thudding electronics and bright keys. But it simmers down as Charli begins singing, her voice Auto-Tuned and vulnerable. “Century of tears, sadness was my only smile,” she reminisces. Glitchy metallics preserve the (un)conventional Charli sound; crystalline coos add a dreamy tenderness. Sky mirrors her desolation, echoing and extending Charli’s words like they’re two halves of the same person. “I’ve become someone better,” they murmur in unison at the bridge, nearly out of breath: “Feels so good to forget ya.”
“Cross You Out”這首歌是由Lotus IV和A.G. Cook共同編制完成的,并且還融入了電子音效和歡快的曲調(diào)。但隨著Charli一展歌喉,自動(dòng)調(diào)音后的聲音略顯柔弱,使得一切都平靜下來?!癈entury of tears, sadness was my only smile(所有的眼淚和悲傷都被我一笑代過)”,她這樣回憶道。異常的金屬感讓Charli的聲音聽起來非常特別,格外清澈透明的歌聲又為這首歌增添了夢(mèng)幻般的柔情。而Sky Ferreira則映射出了她的孤獨(dú),同時(shí)也是對(duì)Charli歌詞的呼應(yīng)和延伸,就好像他們是同一個(gè)人的兩個(gè)分身。“I’ve become someone better(我變得更好了),”她們?cè)跇蚨翁幰煌吐曇鞒坪蹩焐蠚獠唤酉職饬耍骸癋eels so good to forget ya(忘記你真好)”。
