Kara Ciezki - Bad Guy/Sucker

This mashup by Kara Ciezki combines ‘Bad Guy’ by Billie Eilish and ‘Sucker’ by the Jonas Brother’s with a driving bass rhythm and counter themes that build power and tension as it unfolds. With the arrangements dissonant undertone, incredible voice, and harmony arrangements, and showcasing the drums and percussion section and a star horn section with dark riff themes, this mashup is sublime. This could be the perfect anthem song for anyone who wants to get in touch with their dark and manipulative side. Send this to your ex or a bad guy!

Released in 2019, ‘Bad Guy’ by Billie Eilish has been described as electro-pop, dance-pop, and trap-pop with minimalist instrumentation. It’s a song where a woman taunts someone for being a bad guy and suggests that she is more resilient than he is, asserting her power and sexual dominance and uses men as playthings instead of being used as one by them. The lyrics are very nonchalant and self-effacing, and uses themes such a misandry, gloating, sarcasm, and naughtiness. This song is a perfect counter subject combination with the Jonas Brother’s ‘Sucker,’ also released in 2019 where the opposite attracts.

‘Sucker’ tells the story of a man who is falling in love with a woman who may be his soulmate, but darker tones indicate she is far from perfect. He looks past her imperfections and is willing to humour her manipulation and strong personality, but he’s a ‘Sucker’ for her and is helpless against his love for this woman who is so bad for him. With its driving bass rhythm and counter themes, this mashup builds power as it unfolds. The way that Kara Ciezki makes these songs work as a mashup with her arrangements with an almost dissonant undertone is just perfection, and the voice and harmony arrangements are, as always, sublime and the icing on the cake! The horn section really stars in this mashup with some fun dark themed riffs and definitely add to the build-up and tension. This could be the perfect anthem song for anyone who wants to get in touch with their dark and manipulative side.
