Charli XCX | True Romance [Silver Coloured Vinyl Album 10th Anniversary] LP

As the last decade has unfolded, Charli XCX has only become more prolific, both as a performing and songwriter. This is particularly evident by the success of her most recent studio album, CRASH.

Her collaborators on True Romance, Ariel Rechtshaid (Haim, Usher, Alex Clare, Solange Knowles), Patrik Berger (Lana Del Rey, Robyn), Jzus Million and Blood Diamonds, helped unlock a unique talent. All pop is here, from Siouxsie to Spiceworld, The Knife to Nirvana.

To achieve her intricate, post-modern pop with its evocative titles like ‘Nuclear Seasons’, ‘Stay Away’ and ‘You (Ha Ha Ha)’ she is a lightning rod, pulling influences out of the sky and channelling them into the crunchy beats, fuzzy synths, bittersweet melodies and idiosyncratic perspectives that combine in the absorbing multi-media output of this compelling artist.
