New Music - Charli XCX

If we thought Charli XCX was buzzing before, she has a deafening sound around her now. The girl has now had three top ten hits in the US (including a #1 with Iggy Azalea), only one of which was hers. “Boom Clap” was never meant to be the big hit it ended up becoming, but it was rather catchy, and “Fancy” was so big, the success runneth over I suppose.

“Break The Rules” is an excellent follow up to all this success, though I don’t know if it will reach the summits that her previous tracks did. It’s a hell of a lot of fun, and that breakdown is refreshing, but it’s not quite as powerful. Her writing style is becoming a bit more honed, and you can hear it on the simple chorus, her rebelliousness showing through.
