Charli XCX

I think when she makes "generic" pop, she can still be good but this is generic (derogatory)

Sam Smith makes everything they touch as boring as fuck.

teasing a new track + announced a boiler room performance on 22 feb

Wonder what 536 refers to?

536 iirc

or is it 653

She parties 536 days a year.

from the snippets I've heard it sounds like the new track will sample "Perfect (Exceeder)" or at least approximate it

love the new single

I really like it too although the release was somewhat anticlimactic for me as I feel like I'd heard the song already via snippets and videos from her Boiler Room.

it's not bad but it's not amazing either

It kicks into the chorus very satisfyingly. Video is pretty cool and takes it up a notch.

Yeah the way it releases the energy in the chorus is a simple trick but it works. If I was drunk and younger I’d probably lose my mind if you played it by the time the 4th red bull vodka hits.

She debuted "So I", a SOPHIE tribute, at a Billboard event:

these are decent

“Club Classics” seems like more of a SOPHIE tribute than “So I”, even.

I couldn't get into Von Dutch, but I love both of these new songs. That So I performance is great too. Looking forward to the album.

really love all the shifts in "b2b"

Absolutely wild for b2b

Yeah, it’s really great. There’s a guy on YouTube called “Ben.” who has done some great 12” extended mixes of Charli tracks before and I’m hoping they do the same for this one.

Never really listened to her before except for vroom vroom, which I love. Skimming on Spotify 'how I'm feeling now' is the one that jumps out but I'm surprised that people don't like pink diamond which seems an obvious highlight.

this one's gonna rule

out sometime next week i think?

so glad I got tix to see her and Troye Sivan on their tour, it's gonna rule

missed out on the Crash tour bc I wasn't feeling it as much

Decided all the dates were in venues too large for me, will wait for the next time she plays “smaller” venues.

New clip sounds fire though!

pretty good but it's so short, wish it had a bridge

probably her best music video...ever? I like the song a lot too, I think this album is shaping up really nicely.

the video itself is good but i don't think the intro needed to be that long

video - (in)decent, track - yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep YEP

the intro needed to be that long so that every one of those influencers friends would feel justified in spamming their followers with a link to the song obv

Forgot to post this last week, but I was a bit obsessed for a couple of days with this clip of a forthcoming 00s throwback electro-house sleaze collab with The Dare:

what song is this oh my god i need it NOW @charli_xcx pic.twitter.com/PImPocHbET
