SZA, Kill Bill Remix | Track Review 🎵

Grammy-winning R&B artist SZA taps Grammy-winning rapper/singer Doja Cat for the remix of her highly successful single, “Kill Bill.”

“Imight kill my ex, not the best idea,” 🏆 Grammy-winning R&B singer/songwriter 🎙 SZA asserts on 🎵 “Kill Bill”,  one of the very best songs from her critically acclaimed sophomore album, 💿 SOS.  In the record, SZA sings gorgeously despite being pissed off.  Like the Quentin Tarantino films she  references, she’s angry at her ex, eventually confirming she kills him and his new girlfriend 😮.  Ultimately, her love pain, and violence, is our listening pleasure.  It is accentuated even more on 🎵 “Kill Bill (Remix)” which features a fellow 🏆 Grammy winner, 🎙 Doja Cat.

Doja Cat appears at the beginning of “Kill Bill (Remix)” replacing the original, shorter verse by SZA.  As to be expected, it is a colorful verse, one that paints a violent picture, as a result of her ex-boyfriend being a dick, basically.  She ends up going to his new house, the new girlfriend is angry, and ultimately, after the new girlfriend charges at Doja, she ends up shooting her.  Memorably, she closes the verse with a bang: “Y’all crisscrossed, saw her fall to the floor / Then you paused there in horror, that shot wasn’t for her.”  From there, we get the rest of the original “Kill Bill,” beginning with the unforgettable, ex-killing chorus, and the second verse by SZA (“I try to ration with you, no murders, no crime of passion / But, damn, you was out of reach”).

Final Thoughts 💭

All in all, 🎵 “Kill Bill (Remix)” marks another triumph for SZA. Doja Cat proves to be the perfect collaborator, enhancing an already great song.  Honestly, the performance speaks for itself.
