love the new single

I really like it too although the release was somewhat anticlimactic for me as I feel like I'd heard the song already via snippets and videos from her Boiler Room.

it's not bad but it's not amazing either
― ufo, Thursday, 29 February 2024 23:38 (seven months ago) link
It kicks into the chorus very satisfyingly. Video is pretty cool and takes it up a notch.

Yeah the way it releases the energy in the chorus is a simple trick but it works. If I was drunk and younger I’d probably lose my mind if you played it by the time the 4th red bull vodka hits.

She debuted "So I", a SOPHIE tribute, at a Billboard event:

these are decent
― ufo, Wednesday, 3 April 2024 22:02 (five months ago) link
“Club Classics” seems like more of a SOPHIE tribute than “So I”, even.

I couldn't get into Von Dutch, but I love both of these new songs. That So I performance is great too. Looking forward to the album.

really love all the shifts in "b2b"
― ufo, Thursday, 4 April 2024 14:45 (five months ago) link
Absolutely wild for b2b
― plax (ico), Monday, 22 April 2024 19:25 (five months ago) link
Yeah, it’s really great. There’s a guy on YouTube called “Ben.” who has done some great 12” extended mixes of Charli tracks before and I’m hoping they do the same for this one.
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 23 April 2024 01:09 (five months ago) link
Never really listened to her before except for vroom vroom, which I love. Skimming on Spotify 'how I'm feeling now' is the one that jumps out but I'm surprised that people don't like pink diamond which seems an obvious highlight.

this one's gonna rule
out sometime next week i think?
― ufo, Tuesday, 30 April 2024 03:56 (five months ago) link
so glad I got tix to see her and Troye Sivan on their tour, it's gonna rule
missed out on the Crash tour bc I wasn't feeling it as much
― Murgatroid, Tuesday, 30 April 2024 04:35 (five months ago) link
Decided all the dates were in venues too large for me, will wait for the next time she plays “smaller” venues.
― Chewshabadoo, Tuesday, 30 April 2024 07:16 (five months ago) link
New clip sounds fire though!

pretty good but it's so short, wish it had a bridge
― ufo, Friday, 10 May 2024 04:55 (four months ago) link
probably her best music video...ever? I like the song a lot too, I think this album is shaping up really nicely.
― monotony, Friday, 10 May 2024 05:44 (four months ago) link
the video itself is good but i don't think the intro needed to be that long
― ufo, Friday, 10 May 2024 06:46 (four months ago) link
video - (in)decent, track - yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep YEP
― assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 10 May 2024 06:49 (four months ago) link
the intro needed to be that long so that every one of those influencers friends would feel justified in spamming their followers with a link to the song obv

Forgot to post this last week, but I was a bit obsessed for a couple of days with this clip of a forthcoming 00s throwback electro-house sleaze collab with The Dare:
what song is this oh my god i need it NOW @charli_xcx pic.twitter.com/PImPocHbET— kels*•.*୨୧ (@L0VEST0RYZ) May 3, 2024

Was recently surprised and a bit undone by “Official”, underrated track I think
― assert (matttkkkk), Saturday, 18 May 2024 22:24 (four months ago) link
that whole downtempo stretch on "Charli" is gorgeous!
― maf you one two (maffew12), Saturday, 18 May 2024 23:12 (four months ago) link
360 is fantastic as well. Despite having seen Uncut Gems and the recent boiler room set with Julia Fox guesting, i had no clue "I'm so Julia" is a reference to her? (per Genius)Anyway massively hyped for the album
― maf you one two (maffew12), Saturday, 18 May 2024 23:27 (four months ago) link
Loving all the tracks released so far - but B2b is something else - would fit perfectly in an early 90's industrial set.

had completely missed this weird pixies/weezer-esque thing she did for a soundtrack, the guitar sounds here are wild
― ufo, Wednesday, 29 May 2024 11:42 (four months ago) link
album is out there in low quality and it's pretty good. probably her third best behind how i'm feeling now & pop 2? it's a less stylistically focused, the songs are generally a little too short and it's not as consistent, but it's still generally very good.
― ufo, Wednesday, 5 June 2024 07:04 (three months ago) link
yeah i love this album! the vibe is quite relaxed and unconstrained but it all fits together really well despite the stylistic variation.
"girl, so confusing" is so good, perfect mid-point of 00s electrohouse and hyperpop
― ufo, Thursday, 6 June 2024 12:48 (three months ago) link
good to hear. third best is actually a high bar!
― maf you one two (maffew12), Thursday, 6 June 2024 13:19 (three months ago) link
such disrespect to sucker, her best. sad!
― Humanitarian Pause (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 6 June 2024 14:45 (three months ago) link
"Von Dutch" pressing all the buttons HARD, weirdly it's more exciting without the video distraction
― assert (matttkkkk), Thursday, 6 June 2024 23:51 (three months ago) link
First impressions are strong with this one, looking forward to more listens.
― Chewshabadoo, Thursday, 6 June 2024 23:54 (three months ago) link
i think this is my aoty so far which is probably just a reflection of how little i've really loved anything this year
but it rules!
― ufo, Friday, 7 June 2024 12:06 (three months ago) link
I've never understood her, a few hits and coulda-beens aside. We want to turn her into a pop star, she clearly wants to be a star, but she lacks the songs and the vocal presence?
Anyway, listening now to see if my mind changes.
― the talented mr pimply (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 7 June 2024 12:41 (three months ago) link
idk she seems pretty happy with her hyperpop weirdo niche these days
― ufo, Friday, 7 June 2024 13:00 (three months ago) link
alright Club Classics is awesome
― imago, Friday, 7 June 2024 13:10 (three months ago) link
okay yeah this is a huuuuge return, she is back
― imago, Friday, 7 June 2024 13:15 (three months ago) link
The three advance tracks were imho above anything she'd done before so yeah i'm primed for this to be aoty material
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Friday, 7 June 2024 13:22 (three months ago) link
it's fabulous. it probably doesn't need 'mean girls' and 'i think about it all the time' but these are minor infractions
― imago, Friday, 7 June 2024 13:43 (three months ago) link
no way, "i think about it all the time" is essential and "mean girls" at least has that crazy piano part
― ufo, Friday, 7 June 2024 13:43 (three months ago) link
they'll probably both grow on me
cosign 'girl, so confusing' as a high-point mind
― imago, Friday, 7 June 2024 13:44 (three months ago) link
goddamn '365'
― imago, Friday, 7 June 2024 13:45 (three months ago) link
"i think about it all the time" is one of my favourites here, just a great vibe
― ufo, Friday, 7 June 2024 13:48 (three months ago) link
We want to turn her into a pop star, she clearly wants to be a star, but she lacks the songs and the vocal presence?
Plenty of other people around if you want that, doesn’t feel like this is what she wants to be at all and likes to do her own thing.
― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 7 June 2024 13:59 (three months ago) link
she's found a good lane and i'm so glad she's still doing this
― maf you one two (maffew12), Friday, 7 June 2024 14:03 (three months ago) link
otm. even though the video is cool too. just a nuts track. Remix also great
― maf you one two (maffew12), Friday, 7 June 2024 14:04 (three months ago) link
― Chewshabadoo,
I don't want that for her but for a while it seemed like she did. Part of what makes this album a delight after my second listen is how she doesn't give a fuck anymore. She and her producers have manipulated a bunch of cool-sounding electronic burps and screeches and big synth bass for the sake of songs about how to face the life you've ignored after you've been out partying. (I still don't like "Von Dutch").
― the talented mr pimply (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 7 June 2024 14:07 (three months ago) link
it was only really crash that was a deliberate attempt at commercial success, which didn't even really work as that and was all the worse for her trying
