On April 24, emerging pop artist Arden Alexa released her debut album, HOPE YOU’RE WATCHING. The project was three years in the making, detailing Arden’s growth from a vulnerable teenager to a sharper, more mature young adult. Already, the album has over 1.3M Spotify streams, with fans falling mostly for hits “Crush!!!,” “BREAK MY HEART,” and “HOPE YOU’RE WATCHING.” Last week, Arden released the official music video for “Crush!!!,” which captured the flirty, cheeky personality of the song.
If we had to pick one of these songs as a song of the summer, it would have to be “Crush!!!” From its playful lyrics like, “Miss being obsessed / Over the few words he said / It’s not that complicated / I’m just looking for a rush,” to its high energy and danceable spirit, “Crush!!!” is the perfect song to usher in a summer romance. So, to get us into those fun and festive vibes, Arden Alexa has dropped the Wilson Remix of the song.
The Wilson Remix takes the original and moves it from a cool pop hit to an infectious house banger. The alluring lyrics and vocals of the original are still present, but they take on a lighter aura against the music. Meanwhile, listeners will now hear house beats and commanding synth riffs that will put them into a vibrant spell, just as a crush would.
The video for the remix is the cherry on top of an already perfect cake. In order to properly appreciate the video, fans will have to be familiar with the original video for “CRUSH!!!,” where Arden Alexa is found among friends, family, and her cat, Liza. Throughout, viewers will find that these relationships help Arden Alexa properly navigate the highs and lows that come with dating and crushes. The remix video pulls back the curtain just a bit, revealing a behind-the-scenes look at what went down during filming. There are bloopers, lots of laughs, and cute candid moments that make the remix video a beautiful bonus to the “CRUSH!!!” world. You can check it out below.
