A bold claim, but if there’s anyone whose fingers are best placed to hit CTRL-ALT-DEL on pop, it’s Charli XCX. Believe all you read about breaths of fresh air and you’d half expect a force ten gale to be blowing through the music industry but here, we have the real deal: a singer songwriter liberated from the acoustic guitar fixation that preoccupies so many; a teenage popstar with a good head on her shoulders and a sharp mind in her head.
The first Australian release for Charli XCX is the ‘You’re The One’ EP. It features tracks ‘You’re The One’, ‘Nuclear Seasons’, ‘Stay Away’ and 3 remixes.
Charli XCX’s new single ‘Stay Away,’ draws inspiration from the T'Pau, 1980s one-hit wonder “Heart and Soul”, the track with its synths pulse and gothic fervour, Charli effortlessly toggles between careful restraint and operatic emotionalism.
You’re The One, is a dark and dreamy love song, it will feature on her as-yet-untitled debut album which she is working and collaborating with Ariel Rechtshaid (Major Lazer, Plain White T’s, Glasser, Rolo Tomassi), Joakim Åhlund (Robyn) and Patrik Berger (Robyn, Lana Del Ray).
The track was recently remixed by Odd Future duo ‘the Internet’, turning the track into an itchy, bubbly, urgent thing by adding in a verse from O.F. secret weapon Mike G. Mike G has taken part in Odd Future releases such as ‘Radical’, ’12 Odd Future Songs’ and ‘The Odd Future Tape Vol. 2’ which was co-producer by Frank Ocean.
