Shy Girls – “Xhampagne” (Feat. Antwon)
Yesterday, Dan Vidmar’s Shy Girls announced that his new mixtape 4WZ will drop any day now, but while we wait, here’s another cut from the project. My colleague Chris DeVille dubbed “Xhampagne” the “exact midpoint between How To Dress Well and the Weeknd,” and that nails the vibe perfectly. Over a slow, lulling set of synths, Vidmar describes a heartless, calculated vixen who is “only in it for the champagne” — but he doesn’t seem particularly bitter about the arrangement. Antwon also swings through near the end of the track, and his quick flow adds some punch to the track’s pace. Listen below.
