Grimes ‘Hazily’ Remembers Recording a Song Called ‘Witch v Witch’ With Charli xcx, But Can’t ‘Conjure the Session in My Mind’
A purported recording of the never-released song posted by a fan sounds like a dark robot hyperpop track with ethereal vocals from Charli.
Grimes and Charli XCX’s potential collaboration, an unreleased song titled "Witch v Witch," has sparked curiosity among fans after a YouTube video purportedly featuring the track surfaced online. Both artists have thrown hints at their involvement in the creation of the song, but neither can recall the exact details of when, where, or how it was recorded.
The rumor began after a fan posted a possible version of the track on X, describing it as a dark, hyperpop dance tune with a robotic chorus and lyrics about trust and intimacy. Charli XCX confirmed her participation, stating, "I could be wrong but I thinkkkkkk this is me and grimes." Grimes then responded, admitting to vaguely remembering writing the song, though he couldn't remember the session details.
Grimes hinted that British producer A.G. Cook might have further polished the track, possibly referencing his work on Charli XCX's 2020 LP, "How I'm Feeling Now." Charli XCX added that she believes A.G. Cook worked on the song at a later stage, implying a collaborative effort.
Despite the excitement surrounding the potential collaboration, both artists' spokespeople have not yet commented on the matter. Grimes recently teased her sixth studio album, "Psy Opera," while Charli XCX released her eighth studio album, "Music, Fashion, Film," in July.
