People love her covid sound more than regular ass pop

Good ones still my favorite single that song is amazing

she cited bunch influences recently on the dj mix she did for nye

Charli XCX: “In this set, I mix up a lot of amazing songs that really heavily influenced my upcoming album CRASH. Songs from Janet, Prince, Cameo, Mariah Carey—just songs that have a retro sort of rhythmic feel to them. Songs with incredible snare drums often, and songs that make you want to dance.”

yeah it was like a 20 song playlist right? i remember seeing that

Yeah it’s pretty good selection of songs tho aren’t really mixed properly outside of fade in or fade out

You’re like an ocean breeze just coming and going as you please

Hard. By far her best single for her upcoming

she def sampling something. i forget the song though.

Legit forgot she’s dropping an album

I have feeling with right marketing this could do really well in the uk charts

don’t know if us charts really into 2 step sound yet

Cry for you September

new shapes still my fav

really nice

soty out now

better than the first 2 singles

yeah this gets better with every listen

Wait wtf this is a nearly identical song

UK charts are usually more susceptible to more “alt” music than the US charts. So I feel like she could make a big splash.

It's an equally good remix tbh. Need a megamix now

someone off atrl got preview of the album this is the review they posted

She is not selling out, CRASH is Charli's tribute to decades of dance pop music and all forms it took in the mainstream through the years. She is openly letting in influences from every generation is it 90s' house, 00s eurodance or currently popular nu-disco revival, to create full palette of sounds that shaped the genre she is expanding herself today. If it hasn't become clear with the 3 pre-release singles, it will as soon as the opening track, Crash, kicks in. Don't be fooled by its aggressive snippet, It's such a spacious retro synthpop banger that sounds exactly like one of those Initial Talk remixes recreating italo-disco craze in European pop music of the 80s. It's funny how the Future Nostalgia jokes have been thrown since she showed us the album cover, but these two could really stand next to each other on some grounds! Yuck for example is a sugary-sweet disco leaning bop that would find its place right next to Doja's Say So or most notable Kim Petras singles (looks like you CAN make this sound work perfectly without a need of a rapist on board!). She really wastes no time on this big throwback party, but there is one song that slows things down - AG Cook and OPN produced Every Rule, beautiful nostalgic ballad carried by just one simple synth riff. The biggest highlight for me tho is probably the beloved snippet that turned out to be Constant Repeat, but just like Every Rule it's more of casual Charli sound we've heard before, maybe that's also why I love it. Wish Twice would join this trio, but sadly this one turned out to be pretty disappointing. The live version made it sound like some everchanging Track 10-like outro to the album, but it's way too short and too flat for that effect.

On paper this sounds like a dream record from an artist like Charli and maybe it really is one, I can see a lot of fans being in love with it, even those who are not fully sold on the singles yet as (imo) they remain the least exciting moments of Crash. As for myself I can't help but feel pretty unsatisfied with this project as a whole. Her songwriting became visibly so lazy it's just annoying sometimes, cause I know a lot of these songs could be so much more if she tried harder. Most of the greatness here is carried by the detailed production and not by catchy melodies or fun hooks. Beg For You definitely suffers from having boring drop instead of prominent chorus while Baby, even though very addictive, feels like an endless repetition of same two lines - this will ultimately lead to both songs getting tired quickly. Lightning on the other hands is such a creative, progressive track with different styles clashing into another big banger, but I know damn well it's all Ariel's magic and the song would be just as great without Charli on it. Let me not even start on how short some of the tracks are and how they follow the most simple Verse - Chorus - Verse - Chorus structure without any interesting additions, not even a bridge. I still think it's a good album that will snatch wigs from hordes of gays, but it doesn't tick all the boxes.

tldr song writing is basic but the production as usual is amazing

New song is fire

alone together movie streaming on hulu if u haven’t already watched it from when it leaked last year

push the album UP charli
