Hinds Release Studio Cover of Charli XCX’s ‘Girl, So Confusing’ With Video Marking ‘Viva Hinds’ Anniversary

The Madrid duo recasts the Charli XCXLorde track through their decade in a girl band to spotlight feminist themes.

Overview

  • Hinds issued the studio version and an accompanying video after road-testing the song on tour, where it became a fan favorite.
  • The rendition swaps the original’s electronic production for a guitar-driven arrangement with lush, layered vocal harmonies.
  • The video blends behind-the-scenes tour moments with hometown scenes, with roughly 60% shot in Madrid during the recording period.
  • The band credits Felipe Olaya for much of the footage and frames the cover as reflecting pressures that pit women against each other.
  • The release supports an active tour with U.S. stops in Brooklyn on Sept. 24, the Ohana Festival on Sept. 26, and Chicago on Sept. 27, with dates running through February 2026.
