Only heard Ice Spice on her song with Nicki and this remix, but as the new it girl rapper, I don't get the hype behind her. She sounds so bored, and doesn't fit on this track at all.
I also prefer the original version of Snow on the Beach, but to be fair, I don't really listen to Lana so I was happy with the original. Hope this is what fans of both wanted though, and I love that they actually did this given the feedback. Personally, I prefer the template of the original - I think Lana should have sang her verse in the same style as Taylor, it's too different. The outro in the original is also much better.
On a positive note, glad to see Hits Different is officially on streaming! Will be listening to that one much more now.

Okay. First things first, I'm glad that the masterpiece that is 'Hits Different' is finally on Spotify. I noticed that they had made some changes to it in the clean version: the way #### is distorted is really jarring, and they removed some of the ooohs and the background vocals from the end. I've listened to this song compulsively since the album's release and didn't like these changes.
Lana's melody changes in 'Snow on the Beach' were interesting, I love me some Lana and it was nice to hear her, but I don't think it was improved, I feel like the production was cheapened, and that gorgeous, ethereal outro was one of the best parts of it.
The 'Karma' remix seems pointless and unless there's a video, I would have passed up on this.
I wasn't critical of the original Midnights album, and the 3am edition elevated it massively. This seemed less than and simply a calculated attempt to increase streaming consumption, get 'Karma' a potential new peak on the Billboard Hot 100, and the results don't have the same impact. I am interested in hearing 'You're Losing Me' and will grab a copy of the Late Night CD on eBay if I come across one at a reasonable price.

I'm listening to it now, and I don't understand why it was left out either. It fits perfectly with the sound of the rest of the album, and the quality is high.
I know they were cut for time constraints, but I think she decisively removed 'Paris' and 'Glitch' from the tracklist because they don't fit the ethereal, dreamlike mood of the rest of the 3am songs that fit the late night vibe as they're advertised on that edition.
