Charli XCX - Crash

[Jark]

yes i'm counting the mixtapes. anyway @Gangsta Nancy Lam, sounds like this one's for us

 

[GNL]

OMG YES

 

[Jark]

new single Good Ones out in ONE MONTH (?!)



apparently it's "extremely short and repetetive"

 

[GNL]

That artwork

 

[RJN]

That artwork

Especially the hair

 

[OutSynk]

That artwork

Would win ASFM.

 

[Pipo]

is she going back to POP??? (The genre, not the Britney hating user)

 

[Jark]

she's been dropping a lot of hints that she made a "deal with the devil" (her label) to do a "mainstream pop album", presumably to end her contract

 

[Pipo]

her SUCKER part Deux is COMING!

 

[octophone]

Oh Christ, looks like a Bandcamp vaporwave album

 

[Jark]

new once-weekly show on Radio 1 beginning on Monday with Christine & the Queens as the first guest



Tove Lo and Caroline Polachek will be guests in the coming weeks

 

[octophone]

I wonder if she'll invite anyone from the obviously-deceased Nasty Cherry. They've been swept under the ol' carpet with all speed.

 

[Jark]

the new Jax Jones + Joel Corry single has Charli on vocals and samples Stromae apparently coming in a couple of weeks! do I smell a RARE CHART HIT for MS CHARLES?

 

[Jark]

with Caroline on tour yesterday



THE POWER THAT HAS.

 

[Jark]

London xcxunties!

 

[RJN]

the new Jax Jones + Joel Corry single has Charli on vocals and samples Stromae apparently coming in a couple of weeks! do I smell a RARE CHART HIT for MS CHARLES?

It sounds EXACTLY like what you'd think from the artists. Its catchy and I'm sure I'll listen to it 100 times this month but it sounds like if every dance hit from the last year was combined. The Stromae sample is SO obvious

 

[Music]

Love that

 

[Jark]

it's absolutely fucking awful.

Charli does not need to be straight pandering like this.

 

[Pipo]

HA! this is absolutely AWFUL!! And I thought I heard it all with Calvin Harris' latest one. Sorry XCXunters but this is shit.

 

[OutSynk]

A Stromae sample?

 

[Jark]

the main single, Good Ones, leaked this week. Popjustice is underwhelmed but it's severely amazing.

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Good Ones is AMAZING, if far too short.

Spoiler

Totally the right lane for her to swerve into also. It's not THAT far removed from her recent stuff, but much poppier and possibly her first chart/airplay hit since 1999!

 

[Pipo]

this is trash but (unsurprisingly) I Can't get enough!

I can't believe Saweetie is on it for only 10 seconds and doesn't add a lot to it, what a mediocre queen.

first episode of this was super fun. Chris is such a character, she swallows poor Charli whole

@COB get on it!

 

[COB]

I forgot already I will catch up!

 

[Jark]

Good Ones out on Friday. god i'm so ready for this video to end me



also Out Out just went top 10.

 

[Pipo]

also Out Out just went top 10.

the cheek of not even bothering to appear in the video QUEEN

(Joel Corry's resemblance with my current boss is so eerie I Can't bear to look at him anymore)

 

[Jark]

Charti XCX making the most of ha commercial revival era

 

[octophone]

Video just premiered - it's Marina & The Diamonds "The Living Dead" covered by Lady Gaga.

But better than that makes it sound.

 

[GNL]

This fucks but why is it so SHORT.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I'm not sure where I stand on a full album with this sound but this single does indeed FUCK

 

[COB]

I love it

 

[octophone]

What does the actual track come in at? About 2 and a half minutes? It does feel almost wilfully short.

2:16 on Spotify

2:16 on Spotify

Hmm. Maybe leaving them wanting more = more repeat streams?

 

[RJN]

Well I love it despite feeling a bit attacked by the lyrics

 

[RJN]

Hmm. Maybe leaving them wanting more = more repeat streams?

I think it’s the repeat streams thing

 

[RJN]

After exactly 1 play, it’s stuck in my head

 

[Pipo]

does it have a tiktok dance?

 

[Jark]

the video is PHENOM! highly giffable.



quite surreal to see her having so much fun playing at being a big budget pop girl
