raise your hand if you've felt personally victimized by atlantic and their greediness I hate how industrialized/commercialized music is becoming, it's sickening. please ask her about the wetransfer file and if she's totally scrapping XCX3 and if... actually I don't want you to get arrested/tackled by fckyeahcharli on the spot + I don't want the questions to bum charli out, I'm sure it's all she's been thinking about

When I do a mental recap of this era and realize how XCX3 has been done for over a year now, and how Charli went from being frustrated at her label in the beginning of this year for delaying it for the first time to her having to pretend like she's ok with them DELAYING it a second time and then having to pretend like it's "just a release schedule", and how she released two "lead singles" 271 days apart, and how we went from thirsting over the release of new music to hoping for leaks (and getting them), and how Charli went from saying the album is being pushed to 2018 because it's "just the best time for her" to saying "it's being delayed because people keep leaking it and I have to rewrite it", and how Charli said in May that she had the best label meeting ever and literally can't wait to get all this new music to us but it's been over 5 months and she hasn't said anything about that since... I realize this era has honestly and truly been an absolute mess. This era was SO promising and Charli had the potential to change pop music just like she hoped she would, but now it's all a mess and she's been relegated to being a supporting act for hasley, performing songs from 3 years ago.

I feel like Charli's current brand of pop isn't concurrent with any of the trends (or up and coming trends) going on right now. It's a sound that the GP wouldn't understand and would see as just another shallow, basic pop act. For example, even with tropical house (arguably the "it" sound rn), it was very clear that it was about to blow up, but there's no sign of that happening with PC/hybrid pop besides Charli, and her label clearly isn't willing to invest in this era because like you said, they'd rather play it safe than take a risk. I'm pretty sure the only reason Atlantic even tried promoting Sucker was because of Boom Clap. It's all so fucked up, she'll never score a hit the size of Boom Clap with such mediocre singles, especially considering BC was on the soundtrack for TFIOS. Boys was a moderate success but not because it was a good song, because of all the cameos. Her label needs to fuck off tbh That's probably healthier to believe but I'd like to believe we almost had the exchange songs (is she really releasing them if she goes through a twitter fanpage to leak them? lol)
-
But it would only make sense. She's been sitting on those tracks for about a year now and they don't fit in with XCX3. They haven't been mentioned at all since they were performed. Do you think she would try and leak sucker outtakes or demos or something?
-
but the situation with Katy is way different from Charli's... that's only one song for Katy, whereas with Charli, basically an entire album leaked that had already been delayed twice
-
I'm just gonna leave this here If that fat bitch @fckyeahcharli didn't PUBLICLY TWEET that Charli PRIVATELY MESSAGED them shortly after the release of N1A that she would be sending a WeTransfer file with the Exchange tracks sometime in the following week... we would probably have them. But no, they had to fuck it up and paint Charli as a liar for never sending it. Obviously it's a risky situation if she's having to go behind her label's back and message a fan account in order to get those songs released in some way but, I can't say I expect whoever runs that account to be smart enough to realize that.

im gonna go OFF KSKEKEKSKKAKS WHAT THE FUCK WE'VE BEEN STRUNG ALONG FOR SO LONG AWAITING RELEASE OF XCX3 + THE EXCHANGE SONGS. A STRING OF LIES IS WHAT THIS ERA HAS BEEN!!! When quizzed about when exactly the new LP would drop, Charli said: “Um, I guess. I don’t want to really say because then everyone will jump on the date and if it’s not then, they’ll go crazy”. Fair play. SHE TALKED ABOUT HER FANS SO INDIRECTLY (saying everyone instead of my fans) AND INSINCERELY!!! LIKE... OF COURSE WE'RE GONNA JUMP ON THE DATE DUMBASS, YOU'RE A POP GENIUS AND WE ARE PERCHED!!
-
moment of silence for all the severely underappreciated mixtape era/pre mixtape bops like glow and moments in love and angry all the time and heatwave and valentine and many others.
-
mess at the bipolarness of you trashing charli like 20 times on this thread and at one point being more excited for hasley/baldsey/ratsey but still having the privilege to be in her presence
-
who me? ahah I don't do that type of stuff also... you're telling me there are shit stirrers that could be in here making this thread entertaining??
-
update: I know she was trying to sell Sucker (lol remember when she told us she had to push back the release date for sucker because of the success of boom clap, as if that wasn't a decision made by some label dumbass) and was trying to convince us that Sucker was her authentic self (TR to Sucker was a huge change). Maybe now that she's done promoting Sucker and doesn't have to deal with all the commercial bullshit, she can finally admit that she really did like True Romance. It could also be that she just hated that era of her career and life. How sad that she's still stuck in the cycle of being expected to get a hit while not even being able to release hits because she needs a hit before she can release a hit.
-
Ever since she said that she felt like TR wasn't her authentic self and rather a shy muted version of herself to compensate for always being "too much", and that there were other voices involved other than her own in that album, True Romance has lost it's glimmer. It's still a beautiful album and I know she somewhat backpedaled by recently tweeting "wow true romance is such a good album" but like can a decent interviewer ask her to elaborate on that instead of being all "heehee what does xcx stand for ^_^ what's ur favorite color XD"??

I would try but my upload speed is terrible

number 1 spin your head around OOH, TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT AND I CAN DO IT TO YOU I'M A MILLION DOLLARS MAKE YOUR WISHES COME TRUE CALLIN OUT, YOU'RE CALLIN OUT, YOU 'RE CALLIN OUT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A GIRL LIKE THIS BEFORE the build up in this song is so amazing but the drop is kinda dissapointing tbh also, I know this is old news but the first alternate version fo ATAP (the 80's synth version) is SO GOOD!!! Aly & AJ's recent 80"s bop titled "Take Me" that also has a halloween themed video has been found dead
-
billie eilish... ugh also everyone go support Cuckoolander's new EP on Vroom Vroom Recordings!! Champion and Blame It On Ur Luv have the same "ooh, yeah" btw CYHM and CTMP don't really do anything for me, I'm not sure why... maybe they'll grow on me kinda like Queen Lizzy
-
I wonder if Our Boyfriend was a demo for someone... also I would've preferred Run 4 Ur Munty over Boys as a Charli song with no Charli writing credits Blame It On Ur Luv better have been her own song she wrote for herself PEOPLE COME AND PEOPLE PASS BY LIKE THE SEASONS LIFE WILL ALWAYS CHANGE YOU ARE THE ONE THAT I DIE FOR YOU ARE THE ONE THAT I DIE FOR PHOTOGRAPHS TURN OLD AND DUSTY ROSES ROT BUT MEMORIES NEVER FADE YOU ARE THE ONE THAT I DIE FOR YOU ARE THE ONE THAT I DIE FOR
-
thank you so much! I hope they're not too "stream of consciousness"-y have you not seen the instagram post or did you take my bomb threat literal cocaine queen remember this thread was all about begging for Mow That Lawn and then "Mess" and "Midnight" leaked and it was apparently the biggest deal ever until her whole third album leaked and the gays died hence why this thread has been so dead lately? also leak japan
-
I've been reading this thread for about 400 pages now without the ability to reply, I have a lot to say

The Sucker era really, really took a toll on Charli. She worked sooo hard and burned out and her label STILL wants to put her through the stress of trying to make XCX3 a commercial hit? I feel so bad for her, it must be the worst feeling in the world to not be able to release your own art AND not be able to tell the truth about how you feel. The shitty cover ups for her label don't work!! Going from being frustrated at your label for delaying your album the FIRST time and making a mixtape behind their back and having to FIGHT to get it released Then it's delayed a SECOND time and your feelings are "I just want to make sure it's as good as possible", "2018 is just the best time for me"?? THAT'S NOT THE TRUTH!!! I think she's gonna burn out again. Singing that shitty setlist for a whole tour with halsey and then doing the same thing with Sia? Absolutely tragic. I'm sure she's sick of 80% of those songs already. fffff I'm frustrated again Charli's in record label hell. In an alternate universe, she'd prosper under a different record label and finally be able to release all the bops into the world. The music industry is so fucking twisted and corrupt and Charli is a perfect example of that. Imagine Atlantic loosened up and Charli released the Exchange songs an EP and she dropped a second mixtape before the album's release. That would totally make up for this royal fuck up on Atlantic's behalf but that would never happen. Didn't she allude to a possible second mixtape before the album earlier this year? There was also that instagram post a few months ago about having the best label meeting ever ksdvksdfvhj imagine she deletes it lmaoo I'd go bomb atlantic's headquarters

I believe she's just a very tumultuous person; full of ups and downs. Here are some words from her Complex interview Charli considers herself an awkward person, or at least has felt like one lately. She’s had panic attacks in the studio, during which she’ll start to crawl on or under the equipment. She’s shut down before, emotionally. She’ll quickly cop to feeling self-conscious at existential moments of recognizing her weird, sometimes isolating existence. When I ask her to elaborate on all of this, she’s already ahead of me. It all just spills out: “There are days where I can go into a room full of people, talk to every single person, and feel completely at ease, and feel like making every single person laugh, and feel like everyone’s having a great time. There are other times where I go into a room of people and I literally want to run and hide. I want to lock myself in the bathroom and cry, which I’ve done. It’s not because anyone’s saying anything horrible to me. It’s just...people are asking me questions—not even asking me questions about Charli XCX.” Before I can ask her whom these people are asking her about: “I’ve felt like a schizophrenic person since the beginning of 2014. Sometimes I just shut down and want to stay in bed and cry. Other times I want to get fucked up in the most fun way possible.” Sorry for how squished-together it is, I had to remove the pink background formatting from the Complex website bc it was an eyesore

Especially Break The Rules! She's already professed her hate for that single. 3AM should've totally been a setlist closer tbh, all the ratsey stans would've been converted to Charli stans. ASJdhkasjfh I'm so jealous that you're going to meet her, I've daydreamed about spending the whole day with her and having a deep conversation about how she truly feels about her career and her label and giving her a stan's insight on what makes her such a special artist. I don't think she realizes just how great of a pop artist she really is. waiting in line behind the holy trinity Taxi Tko and No Angel I wish there was a masterpost of all of Charli's interviews in chronological order, that would be so nice Remember when Dr. Luke told Charli she had to lose weight to be a pop star... and then in October of last year she went on a health kick and got skinny? Something about that doesn't sit well with me. Also, does anyone recall Charli's thoughts on True Romance and Sucker before and after their releases? I know she felt like TR wasn't the real her and that she was trying to seem cool (but she recently tweeted that TR is such a good album) and leading up to the release of Sucker, she sounded like she was pleased with the direction the album went in in terms of it's attitude (she even wanted to make Sucker tampons), but now she dislikes it bc it has a lot of frustration and brattiness behind it. I'm just trying to put all the pieces together
