Spanish rockers Hinds have been performing a cover of Charli XCX’s Brat remix album cut “Girl, so confusing featuring lorde” on tour lately (the song originally appeared without Lorde on Brat, but now appears with Lorde on Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat. Got it?). Now, Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote have finally released a studio version of the recent live staple.
“everything about this song resonates with us,” the band shared in an Instagram story announcing the song’s release on streaming, addressing the fact that the original version of the single was perceived by some listeners as a dig at Lorde. “we have been a girl band for four albums now, more than a decade. a decade in a world that tries to put girls against each other, comparing everything... our bodies, our songs, our way of talking, thinking, moving and existing. making it almost impossible to not feel threatened and constantly insecure. when this song and the feature w Lorde was released, it made history for music and for women. this is our take on it.”
Check out Hinds’ version of our #1 single of 2024 below (Hinds’ own track “Boom Boom Back” with Beck also made the cut), and revisit our profile on Hinds from last September here.
