The English popstar has gone from strength to strength this year, having just performed at US festival Coachella and then she’s taking on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury in June.
Her new album ‘Brat’ collaborates with some of the greatest in the pop/punk/rave music scene including her latest chart-topping single released called ‘Von Dutch’ which we know is going to be a favourite in the clubs this Summer.
But who is Charli and why the XCX? Her real name is Charlotte Emma Atchison and the XCX stands for Kiss Charli Kiss. She was a raver in her teens which is where the inspiration for her dance music comes from. Feel good electro vibes with a lot of heart and soul thrown in. It’s no wonder Charli, aged 31 now, who has been performing since 14-years-old, has really honed her craft!
Charli XCX first burst onto the music scene back in 2015 with her smash hit ‘Boom. Clap’ which featured on the soundtrack to hit US film, ‘The Fault in Out Stars’ and made it to the number one spot in the UK and the US.
According to Charli ‘Brat’ her sixth studio album is her “most aggressive and confrontational record, but also her most vulnerable.”
We can’t wait to hear the full 15 track album when its released on June 7th. Interestingly enough we have been told it’s exactly 41 minutes and 23 seconds long!
It promises to be banging so it doesn’t really matterif it’s not the longest of albums!
ROCKS RATING: ****
