Bonnie Raitt Discusses Being Sampled On Charli XCX Remix Album
Charli XCX recently capped off Brat summer with Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat, a track-by-track remix album. It’s absolutely worth listening to in full, but some highlights include: Ariana Grande on “Sympathy Is A Knife,” the Japanese House on “Apple,” Julian Casablancas on “Mean Girls,” and certainly not least, Bon Iver’s revamped “I Think About It All The Time.” That last one is a song Charli initially wrote after her close friend had a baby, and she found herself trying to decide if she wanted a little infant XCX of her own. That theme also appears in Bonnie Raitt’s 1989 song “Nick Of Time,” which Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon cleverly sampled for his remix.
