    Charli XCX

    is awesome. Don't be put off by "Fancy" - her collab with Iggy Azalea. I am a fan of both artists and I don't like that song much.

    Her debut album "True Romance" is the bomb:


    This is one of my fave tracks by her:


    Of course she wrote Icona Pop's "I Love It":


    Bought the new album today at Target for $7.99, still digesting...seems less 80s new romantic synthpop than True Romance, but hardly the punk album that was rumored.

    'sucker' kicks serious ass.

    i was *this* close to starting a thread.

    "gold coins" is my jam. i also never change the station when "boom clap" is on.

    she's the real fucking deal.

    I love Charli XCX. Been a fan since her first album and was massively excited for Sucker. So far, the first half of that album is outstanding and I feel like the second half drags a bit, so I feel a little let down by my expectations for it. I'm looking forward to seeing her live eventually. I can tel it's going to be a blast. Not sure it'd ever happen but I'd love to see her and Sky Ferreira tour together.

    I saw the video of her on Letterman and I like the song. I've heard a few of her recent singles. I'm digging her.

    I don't think I like the new album much.
    I think True Romance showcased an artist mature beyond her years.
    This feels like two steps back.
    It sounds great, but the content is super superficial.

    Oh well: my daughter likes the song that goes "I don't want to go to school / I just wanna break the rules."
