Charli XCX Band • Page 35

Well yeah, but they're already all over the internet, for the past few years... Me sharing with a few people on chorus.fm has literally zero bearing on anything in the bigger picture.

 

Unlock It/Porsche are unreal back to back.

 

Anything good from True Romance/Sucker?

 

...and Track 10.

 

Definitely some cool stuff that seems like that era, hard to tell exactly where anything came from, but I would say yes

 

Folks,

Number 1 Angel / Pop 2 Coloured Vinyl - Charli XCX - Atlantic Records

 

Wow. Just grabbed a copy

 

Pop2 isn’t purple wtfffffff

 

Have you all read the Pitchfork review of Pop 2? I like how they pointed out the element of messiness in it--and how it's a good thing

 

I'm surprised at how cheap that vinyl set is. Did not hesitate to order.

 

oh my god why do I not have money right now

 

I just ran through all of Kim Petras' singles on Spotify and they're pretty damn enjoyable

 

I still can hardly tell the difference between her and Charli on Unlock it haha

Also I haven’t bothered playing her solo stuff since I think it’s produced by Dr Luke

 

REALLY??????????

Godammit, gotta look into this now

 

ima dreamahhh

 

Jeeze, yeah he is credited as co-writer on all her singles except one, including one that was released this week. How extremely unfortunate

 

Shocking to me that any artist would continue to work or start working with Dr. Luke.

 

He's definitely been scaled back on the work he does. He has less credits over the last three years than he did for all of 2014. It's definitely a bummer that people are still willing to work with him, but I think his body of work probably does give new artists leverage. I mean, Green Light was HUGE even with all of the shit that went down in 2016.

 

It bums me out that they're using that Big Boi song in Apple ads since that means Dr. Luke is still raking in cash.

 

"As I know him, he’s been really great and supportive to me and I’ve been learning a lot from him," Petras said. "He’s been a really nice person and I wasn’t there when that whole thing [with Kesha] went down, but from my experience he’s a great guy and I’ve been having a good time working with him."

When asked if she'll continue to work with Luke, Petras doubles down. "I’m always working with other collaborators," she says. "I’m always working with whomever the hell I want to work with. But it’s been really great working with him and I’ve been really happy with how it all came out."

yikes

 

charli xcx is sounding more and more like the future of pop

 

She's performing Pop 2 in Brooklyn March 18

 

Please perform in LA...

 

I can if you really want me to. Kind of an odd request.
