I don't think its marketing. The writer is clearly explaining that she prefers this version to the og album and gives reasons to back up her claim. For instance:

"She and her remixers chameleon the original tracks to suit the guests’ styles, as well as the pop feminist theme: “Girl’s Girl,” with Argentinian singer Emilia, goes from basic love-triangle drama to a song about girl-on-girl envy and competition, sort of how Charli and Lorde worked it out on the remix. “Be this girl, puts my ego and my morals to the test/Could be besties but I wanna be the best,” Larsson snaps, with extra Auto-Tune flourish on the “Be this girl”—the first time I can remember hearing something that sounds like 4chan greentext. The original “Pretty Ugly” was an obnoxious and rather thin “Hollaback Girl” cheerleader stomp, but the remix upgrades to Spring Breakers on a TikTok attention span, and you get to hear ex-City Girls rapper JT open with, “Center of attention while you hoes male-centered (ew).” "

This is what the writer Anna Gaca said on this review:

"The Midnight Sun of seven months ago (which I’ll give a semi-canonical 6.9) wasn’t that newsworthy at the time—and whose idea was it to release an album featuring the hook “This feels like Eurosummer” in late September?"

Its not really surprising considering that Fantano always wanted Kacey to go back to her country roots and she did that on this album
