Charli XCX

[GroupieLove 2,620]

Some of my thoughts after first listen:

 

Spoiler

 

CRASH: Great opener, it's obviously very 90s influenced I definitely hear some New Jack Swing elements as well. 9/10

New Shapes: This one I didn't feel at all at first but I'm starting to warm up to it. it's a grower. 7/10

Good Ones: Very solid bop and I will die on this hill tbh 10/10

Constant Repeat: This was the first new track that clicked for me. Definitely one of my top 3. 10/10

Beg For You: Yeah... I hate to say it but this still sounds bland to me. I love Rina, I love Charli but this just doesn't do it for me. At least it flows better within the album idk. 6/10

Move Me: Hmm... This will require more listens. Love the vibes tho. 7/10

Baby: This is a banger sorry. Wish the chorus was less repetitive but this will do. 9/10

Lightning: Another fave. Explosive chorus. Killer production. An instant classic 10/10

Every Rule: It's giving 90s pop ballad and it's pretty great at being just that. 7/10

Yuck: I absolutely love this. Probably my favorite song off the new bunch. This is a different kinda vibe yet it sounds so distinctively her. 10/10

Used To Know Me: A fun, mindless, Ava Max-esque euro-bop which is always welcome in my books. 9/10

Twice: Queen of ending her albums/mixtapes on a high note. 9/10

 

This was a fun listen overall. Not as ambitious as her previous projects tho but it's still a great, cohesive collection of bops and we love her for that x

Hey irl bestie <3

[GroupieLove 2,620]

Spoiler

I can't believe she missed out on a possible smash hit by not releasing Used to Know You (feat. Ava Max) as single. She wouldn't have pushed all those other singles instead if she were truly committed to selling out x

[godsmonster 13,779]

yeah i’m w8-ting until next week

[the ocean 67,621]

constant repeat is already my most played track within the last 30 days

[blameitonme 14,786]

i don’t see the appeal of listening to a leaked album, i need the wait, staying up to midnight, refreshing spotify til it loads and having the artwork etc it’s just a vibe. can’t wait for my vinyl 

[ItsRavenHunty 1,401]

i cannot wait to hear the deluxe im curious to know i want more huck kwong diss tracks idgi

[alan 1,775]

Lightning is the reason why we need more Charli x Ariel Rechtshaid tracks
when this duo is together, nothing is better
