1.29.13 - New Music - Charli XCX

I really like hearing these up and coming pop stars hone their sound and find their way into a more radio and mainstream-friendly place. Charli XCX’s music thus far hasn’t exactly been what many people are used to hearing – a mix of female rapping and dark electronic new wave – but maybe there is a way to make this work?

Apparently there is, and our first real taste of this is Charli’s new single “You (Ha Ha Ha)”. Strange but not offputting, everything she does here is going to grab attention and bring new people to the XCX party.

Charli is going to a really big thing – and probably not only in the UK underground. “You (Ha Ha Ha)” is just a taste of what her upcoming debut LP is going to bring upon us all.
