Hinds are marking the first anniversary of ‘Viva Hinds’ with a studio cover of Charli xcx and Lorde’s ‘Girl, so confusing’, ahead of a run of US and European shows billed as the final dates of the album campaign.
The Madrid-based duo of Carlotta Cosials and Ana Perrote originally released ‘Viva Hinds’ via Lucky Number, following a period of transition that saw the pair continue as a two-piece. The cover of ‘Girl, so confusing’ has been a regular in their live set across the campaign.
The band says of the track: “hello this is hinds and we did a studio version of our cover of “girl, so confusing featuring lorde” in order to celebrate 1 year since Viva Hinds was released. everything about this song resonates with us. 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 and existing. making it almost impossible to not feel threatened and constantly insecure. when this song and the feature with Lorde was released, it made history for music and for women. this is our take on it.”
