Just gave it a first play on Spotify. Itโs late and I need the ๐ค but there were a few very promising moments. Will come back to at the weekend. Interested to know a bit more about how the โdo it yourselfโ bits with fans worked.

this is really good except for "pink diamond" which is just too much for me lol. so much better than the last album even if i don't think it'll dethrone pop 2. think my fav is "detonate"
― ufo, Friday, 15 May 2020 01:55 (four years ago) link
this is so good. "anthems"!!!!!!
― monotony, Friday, 15 May 2020 02:07 (four years ago) link
I'm impressed!In terms of what I hadn't already heard I really like the production on "C2.0" and "Detonate", and the finishing touches on "Pink Diamonds" are nicely slightly blown-out

Incredible album. Not one single misstep and several of the best songs she's ever done. Anthems is the one.
― kitchen person, Friday, 15 May 2020 04:35 (four years ago) link
"c2.0" also really really good
― ufo, Friday, 15 May 2020 11:13 (four years ago) link
c2.0 an early favourite for sure. visions also euphoric

The whole quarantine album concept is genius. The whole project has a bittersweet quality that anyone can relate to right now.

This is very good and filled in a lot of gaps for me.

Meaghan Garvey did a great interview with her on the new album as well.

this album's the best, willing to say it's better than pop 2 now
― ufo, Monday, 8 June 2020 09:38 (four years ago) link
yeah maybe.... like i don't even want to go and compare. this album is all i could want in this vein rn.

― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 12:21 (three years ago) link
Would be interesting to see a Charli albums poll at some point. I have a hard time picking between Pop 2, Sucker and her latest.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 2 February 2021 14:45 (three years ago) link
SUCKER is the only one that doesn't work for me. I would probably rank them like
how i'm feeling now > Pop 2 > Charli > True Romance > SUCKER
It's crazy to me that True Romance is only 8 years old, it feels so far away at this point.

― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 15:07 (three years ago) link
lol that's my favourite part :) nothing quite as thrilling to me as charli's rock phase - i loved seeing her with a tight band playing huge dumb riffs
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 15:08 (three years ago) link
It's probably her most uneven album but songs like Need Ur Love, Boom Clap, Doing It and the title track are still some of my favourite songs she's done. It's definitely the album of hers I've played the most.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 2 February 2021 15:10 (three years ago) link
I do like "Boom Clap" and "Doing It" is pretty good, but there's too much other stuff that grates on me

Everything was wrong with youSo breaking up was easy to do
Hated your friends and your family tooSo breaking up was easy to do
It's slightly let down by a few songs on the second half. Hanging Around and Caught In The Middle definitely feel like filler.
Shame Charli has written that album off now. I guess it wasn't a great time for her with all her label issues. That was one messy album campaign.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 2 February 2021 15:29 (three years ago) link
Agree the second half is uneven but Hanging Around is glorious imo

I now realise I had neglected to put in the time with "how I'm feeling now" and it is of course a glorious masterwork, every track gives me pop chills

Sounds like a July song more than a March song, but I like it! A little too concise, maybe? Don't know No Rome, but a pretty faithful melding of their two styles.

justice for "superlove"! i do like it better than the actual version lol (tho it's not bad!)
i giggled at the existence of a dedicated 'tiktok music' youtube channel
― dyl, Thursday, 22 April 2021 03:57 (three years ago) link
(i guess i should clarify i mean tinashe's "superlove," since charli also has a good song by that title lol)
― dyl, Thursday, 22 April 2021 04:04 (three years ago) link
like the original version of that Charli song better than the tiktok variant, but itโs fine
