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 it’s fine

tbf she said it's a "song" and it's her birthday so the possibility is high it's just a one-off

is there a specific 80s hair metal cover that image is a parody of or is it just a vibe?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 2 August 2021 15:22 (two years ago) link
looks more like a Taylor Dayne -type sleeve than a hair metal reference to me
― bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Monday, 2 August 2021 15:33 (two years ago) link
The font, the background color wash, the "I'm crawling sensually on top of a Corvette but there's no Corvette" pose, it all reads hair metal to me, but I have zero mental picture of what a Taylor Dayne sleeve would look like

evil era incoming 😈— Charli (@charli_xcx) July 14, 2021

Which she expounded on a few days later
i hate this idea of things needing to be labeled “right” or “wrong” or “appropriate” or “inappropriate ” within any type of art. if there is no upset or debate or controversy or questioning, then what’s the point of creating?— Charli (@charli_xcx) July 18, 2021
i dont create to be “correct” i create because of how i feel. to me art is feeling & feelings are not black or white or clear cut. they are messy & ever changing like their human creators. if art isnt emotionally triggering in some way, positive or negative, then is it even good?— Charli (@charli_xcx) July 18, 2021
― peace, man, Monday, 2 August 2021 15:51 (two years ago) link
I hope "evil era" means that it's an album of songs inspired by the critically-acclaimed Paramount+ show Evil

She has also said something like rip hyperpop on her insta this week. Think it is just a change of direction, a 80s pop charli is coming. I presume Sophie’s death also has had an effect on her want to move away from her signature sound/look.

oh sick, we needed one of our few genuinely idiosyncratic popstars to start making 80s pop, nobody else is doing that right now

it's also her most Marina-esque single in a long while, in case you needed reminding that they're m8s

she previewed a bunch of the album & i'm no longer worried at all about this album, seems like singles are likely the least interesting by a fair way

Some great sounding stuff there, that last one in particular sounds like it could be a stone-cold banger if the chorus lives up to the intro and verse.

Whether or not it's on it, did she really not tease "Taxi" here to drive the fans nuts?Gonna wait. Not out tol March 18. Literally the future of pop.

https://www.documentjournal.com/2022/01/charli-xcx-and-oneohtrix-point-never-are-rewriting-the-conditions-of-experimental-sound/
this interview gives a good insight into her thought process with the new one
my objection though is she talks about aiming to be a "stereotypical, classic, major-label pop star" in order to mix things up and move away from the more experimental sounds she'd been working with - that's not necessarily a bad idea but she really should be better at it then! she's clearly capable of doing better than "good ones" even if she wants to keep the production less out there. if she wants to be less sonically exciting she better be making up for it with raw song-craft and she hasn't yet with these new songs
― ufo, Friday, 7 January 2022 07:46 (two years ago) link
there's something off-putting about that interview and 0PN in general these days, can't quite put my finger on it but his music since GOD has betrayed it too. unsurprised that Charli has vibed with him just as she's taken a cowardly step back that she can't properly justify
