charli xcx
true romance
ASYLUM
mixes influences & inspirations as diverse as the spice girls, kate bush, lil wayne, quentin tarantino & twin peaks into moody-yet-catchy synth-pop described as 'neon goth'.
to achieve her intricate, post-modern pop with its evocative titles like ‘nuclear seasons’, ‘stay away’ & 'you (ha ha ha)' she is a lightning rod, pulling influences out of the sky & channelling them into the crunchy beats, fuzzy synths, bittersweet melodies & idiosyncratic perspectives that combine in the absorbing multi-media output of this compelling new artist. charli’s world view is splashed in vivid colours across her artwork & personal style, which she describes as ‘wednesday addams meets winona ryder in beetlejuice meets baby spice’. "a highly cultivated showcase" 8.5/10 - the line of best fit.
