Charli XCX releases her debut album, True Romance, through Asylum Records. Her collaborators - Ariel Rechtshaid (Haim, Usher, Alex Clare, Solange Knowles), Patrik Berger (Lana Del Rey, Robyn), Jzus Million, and Blood Diamonds - have 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 channeling them into the crunchy beats, fuzzy synths, bittersweet melodies, and idiosyncratic perspectives that combine in the absorbing multi-media output of this compelling artist.
