Katy Perry’s “Swish Swish” Gets A Country Club Martini Crew Remix
I really don’t know what’s going on with “Swish Swish.” The track looked set to become the next breakout hit from Witness when it sparked a firestorm of controversy and debuted at number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100, but things have gone a little quiet since then. Katy Perry initially confirmed that the song was about Taylor Swift on Carpool Karaoke (“She started it, and it’s time for her to finish it”), but has since back-peddled somewhat, saying the song was inspired by bullies in general.
The ongoing debate is a public relations minefield, which is probably why the video is nowhere to be seen. It will be a shame if Katy quietly moves on to the next single, because the meme-spawning anthem is an undeniable bop. Anyway, given that an official remix package may never arrive, Country Club Martini Crew’s (real name Lucas Fantinel) unofficial overhaul is doubly exciting. The Brazilian DJ deftly removes Nicki Minaj’s cameo, focussing instead on the chorus and Katy’s shade-throwing verses. Listen to the club-friendly remix below.
