Charli XCX

Recommended Posts

When you guys were talking about XCX3 and the music industry it kinda depressed me so here are my thoughts/emotions/summarizations:

 

Charli can't do it all on her own and it definitely doesn't look like she's on a major record label with the scant amount of promo she's been getting. She's working so hard (to the point of nearly crying in an interview) and she's getting paid dust.  

 

The whole XCX3 situation still stings, especially because the songs feel so nostalgic now, and I daydream that they're a part of her proper discography. She even did the 3-months-sober/green juice diet which, to me, means that she really had her head in the game. It also creepily reminds me of how, before Kesha's career went into limbo, and before we knew she battled an eating disorder, her team was tried to coax her into losing weight for the next album.    

 

Like, okay, let's go with the idea that Atlantic saw big things for XCX3 (which is complimentary to Charli I guess) and the leaked version of XCX3 wasn't what they had in mind... couldn't they just let it do it's thing with mild promo in late 2016/early 2017 when pop still had a foot in the door?? It feels like Atlantic played her and she's the one who ended up paying the price by watching her music (which is her livelihood) go to waste, when the messy album rollout wasn't even her fault. Nor was the fact that she couldn't be totally transparent. She let some frustration slip but it felt like she had to be tightlipped, which is out of character. 

 

I don't meant sound haughty or music critic-y in this bit, but it feels like she fell behind while being SO ahead of everyone else in pop, maybe even the whole music industry. Charli has it all: the voice, the melodies, the hooks, the lyrics, and the looks. Seriously, who tf else can do what she does the way she does it?? She's a great recording artist AND a great songwriter. She has such a great ear for pop. She should be thriving, not scraping by. I'm not talking about main pop girl worldwide superstar status, but I just hate feeling like she's already had her time with Sucker, especially because she wasn't even happy in that era and has SO much more to offer. 

 

In an alternate reality, XCX3 would've been a total knockout with critics and the GP, and it would've been a polished, fully realized version of Charli's vision. It would've been everything she wanted, but instead it all went up in flames, the ruins are scattered all over the internet, and it feels like we're talking about the lost city of Atlantis or something. Maybe I'm way in over my head, but I'm rooting for her to get the chance to put out a fully fleshed out, immaculate, authentic, uncompromised album.

 

If the final montly drop is CTMP with a music video, I really do hope everything pans out.

CTMP is a global smash #1 for 6358 weeks totally life changing talented never been done before incredible H I T. Coming for that Summer hit whilst Q3 lasts. Stop whining 

 

Also can we talk about how hearing "DO YOU WANNA HAVE SOME FUN?" being blasted through radio waves around the world would literally be the most iconic thing to ever happen in the music industry ever. Obviously it's 99.9% unlikely that even if the song got released it'd be promoted but if they decided to promote it, don't lie it's a smash.

You guys say you won't let CTMP flop but you let GNO and No Angel flop so hard

wasn't really up to the fans there was no promo and she's not a massive artist so it was never going to go top 40 the only album that was semi successful was sucker.

+ the fact she's not performing them at the rep tour helps her flop, its hard to make 40 stans in a forum listen to her singles and make it n1 for 1000 weeks

i'm pretty sure these singles aren't even being sent to radio + they are put on spotify/ apple music playlists for only like 2 days and then removed 

 

we also have jobs + lives that don't involve streaming charli xcx music 

i feel like CTMP will be late due to filming a video

atlantic better snap with the promo if ctmp is true the GP would love this bop

CTMP is insanely catchy

 

DO YOU WANNA COME TO MY PARTY

GET WILD LIKE SAFARI

I GOT ALL THE BOYS AND THE BARBIES

THEY WANNA HANG WITH CHARLI

“I just wanna have some fun, looking like a young Kardashian!”

 

The song with a video, featuring the Kardashian/Jenner sisters... goes #1, then cements Queen Charles as the long lost, musically talented, British Kardashian sister that nobody saw coming! :defeated: :toofunny:
