this feels like it was from the same sessions as After the Afterparty because it's just as dull

I've only casually kept up w/her since "Boom Clap" (which I loved); but a track like this seems to erase everything that was distinctive about her... it's super generic and could be anyone.

New Charli XCX song. I can't listen to it at the moment.
it's only a 28-second clip unless you have Spotify

two new songs - Focus and No Angel. quite like No Angel, would fit right in with the best of Pop 2 but Focus only has one idea and it's not a very good one

I'm glad we finally got "No Angel". The next challenge is for her to release "Taxi"!

I like “Focus”! It reminds me of one of the more chill Basement Jaxx tracks, like they tended to close albums with. Though I guess your mileage may vary with those as well, but I enjoy them.

she was so great last night!! i hadn't seen her live in years and i'm glad she still has so much energy

Foxboro? I agree. She def. did a lot of “Let’s make some noise, Foxboro!” and “I’m Charli XCX” (which I guess made some sense since she was the opener and people were coming in) – but I thought she was generally terrific.

I'm increasingly convinced that Backseat is one of the best songs this decade - it's thrilling in the way that Perfume's Polyrhythm and so little else is

Pop 2 is just Number 1 Angel but way better so that's what I'd recommend next. True Romance is pretty good too

Troye's crushing on Johnathan Taylor Thomas is cute, but otherwise this is pretty much the Ready Player One of music: depthless pop culture nostalgia from an artist (Charli, here) who should know better.
― Engles in the Outfield (cryptosicko), Friday, 5 October 2018 15:38 (five years ago) link
this is pretty good but it's no "No Angel" which is one of her best ever tracks
― ufo, Friday, 5 October 2018 15:41 (five years ago) link
literally pick any random song off the charts from 1999 and it's likely to be significantly better than this song
almost offended b/c i have extremely fond memories of 1999 and its pop music

oh that's interesting, a demo of "blame it on your love" leaked a while ago (like all her stuff does lol) and it was the basis for what eventually became "track 10" but had a much more conventional verse/chorus structure so i wonder if this is going to keep the same hook from "track 10"?
she said on twitter her new material is 'kind of a continuation of pop 2' which can only be a good thing, pop 2 was so so good. "backseat" and "track 10" remain some of the most thrilling tracks of the decade
― ufo, Tuesday, 14 May 2019 09:56 (five years ago) link
it's Track 10 but not as good, yeah

― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Wednesday, 29 May 2019 04:51 (five years ago) link
Track 10 is ace, but was always a remix of "Blame it on Your Love" according to the stuff I read. It's not being recreated, it's just the original track without SOPHIE's amazing sensibilities for isolating the broken digital heart in the middle of it all. Obviously they dropped one of Charli's verses (my favourite) to make way for Lizzo, but the vocal is otherwise the same.
― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Wednesday, 29 May 2019 06:56 (five years ago) link
scratch that, I'm an idiot, relistening to Track 10 it's clearly a different vocal (and magic)

2099 feat Troye Sivan
Wonder if this is a new song of just some form of remix?
― groovypanda, Friday, 14 June 2019 13:03 (five years ago) link
Ok - new song:
Charli XCX, a pop artisan who willingly and readily bends the conventions of the genre, used a pyramid of steps as her backdrop for an invigorated, albeit bare, set. She began with “Blame It On Your Love,” a reimagined version of Pop 2 fan favorite “Track 10” that now features Lizzo. Clad in what could easily pass as a fashionable spandex biking ensemble and a tailored pink feather jacket, she ran through fan favorites: “Focus,” “Boys” and “Spicy,” the Spice Girls re-take she just released with Diplo and Herve Pagez. But the clear standout was the debut of what’s alleged to be called “2099,” a collaboration with Sivan. And just prior, to celebrate Sivan’s birthday, which transpired the day prior, she brought out a cake and enlisted the crowd to sing him happy birthday: “I can’t sing without Auto-Tune so you guys have got to help me sing,” she said.
“2099” is markedly different than “1999,” without any of the tinkering instrumentation or exacting melodies that made it such a pop juggernaut.
