Charli XCX
Anyone check out this album by Charli XCX - True Romance?
I'm a Marina and the Diamonds fan and came across a song called "Just Desserts" by Marina featuring Charli XCX. It sounded like a Marina solo so I just assumed that Charli was the producer or something but it turns out it was a duet. Looked up more songs by Charli XCX and found the one below. Really liked it. I checked out her mixtape but didn't like it as much but I will be getting her album in a minute. Any thoughts or opinions on her music?

I think she's great. The album is fun. It's in my workout rotation.

Really enjoyed her first album. I have not listened to the new one yet, but it doesn't seem like it would be as appealing to me. Her getting mainstream via "Fancy" seems to have resulted in her being much more bubblegum poppy and less alternative pop. Will check it out at some point
Just look at the difference in album covers:

Thanks... picked it up for that price. Most of these songs are awful.

Re: Charli XCX
wow, you weren't kidding. Comparing the two, you'd think that Sucker was her first album, and True Romance was the more mature progression.
Her and Marina and the Diamonds are the only female singers I'm really keeping an eye out for so hopefully Marina's new album is good.

Also, I think Ellie Goulding might be the best female "pop" artist right now.

Thanks for the recommendation on Sky Ferriera. I didn't like the first song I heard "I Blame Myself" but I like "Heavy Metal Heart."
I've heard of Ellie Goulding but only song I know is "Burn" which I like. If you don't know her, Lykke Li is a pretty good singer too.

Wow, this thread hasn’t been updated in 10 years… surprised it never got bumped for Brat.
Anyway, people are taking this Twitter post as a hint that she’s got a new album on the way, in addition to all the other things she’s been working on.
Heres a couple of the songs from Brat.
oh, and her song from the Barbie movie

Gee, I wonder who she wrote that Sympathy is a Knife song about.

I think they are both great, seen Charli twice this year. Miami and Coachella.
I also saw her way back in the Icona Pop days..
