The first single from Charli's upcoming quarantine album is really making me feel emotional right now.

so excited she is releasing a new album as a birthday present to me thx charli

Yeah, love it when she makes this particular sort of noise, great song.

It reminds me of a couple of bits of True Romance, only like how she would do them now.

I have been listening to True Romance quite a bit recently

The second single Claws is a really great song and video combination too. Both these songs haven given me a lot of comfort over the last couple of weeks. I guess I'm at the stage where Charli is one of those artists that I can really rely on. Very excited for the album next week, if she can still pull this off by that time.

Bumping this thread since the quarantine release is out tmrw--thought "Forever" was great, "Claws" was OK and this one was really good (there's one which see demoed on IG Live that at the time she referred to as "Project XCX" which now seems to be called "Anthems" which I'm esp curious as to how it'll turn out): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0D2fZ_P0Hg

This album is a start to finish masterpiece imo. It is so poignant but blissful! Veers from gecs-y anthems to og garage slow jams, and all the syrupy pop notes in between. Her best.

Whoops, 'she demoed' xp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gASgeLVBeNk

aaaa yes it do work that way
hyyyype!

Just gave it a first play on Spotify. It’s late and I need the 💤 but there were a few very promising moments. Will come back to at the weekend. Interested to know a bit more about how the “do it yourself” bits with fans worked.
― Jeff W, Friday, 15 May 2020 00:45 (three years ago) link
this is really good except for "pink diamond" which is just too much for me lol. so much better than the last album even if i don't think it'll dethrone pop 2. think my fav is "detonate"
― ufo, Friday, 15 May 2020 01:55 (three years ago) link
this is so good. "anthems"!!!!!!
― monotony, Friday, 15 May 2020 02:07 (three years ago) link
I'm impressed!In terms of what I hadn't already heard I really like the production on "C2.0" and "Detonate", and the finishing touches on "Pink Diamonds" are nicely slightly blown-out
― call mr zbow that's my name that name again is mr zbow (Craig D.), Friday, 15 May 2020 04:19 (three years ago) link
Incredible album. Not one single misstep and several of the best songs she's ever done. Anthems is the one.
― kitchen person, Friday, 15 May 2020 04:35 (three years ago) link
"c2.0" also really really good
― ufo, Friday, 15 May 2020 11:13 (three years ago) link
c2.0 an early favourite for sure. visions also euphoric
― tangenttangent, Friday, 15 May 2020 11:18 (three years ago) link
this is good but it makes me hunger for more gecs

she's a genius and it's a certified wall to wall hood classic

c2.0 is truly exceptional

I'm not really on the mood for this but it's sick

The whole quarantine album concept is genius. The whole project has a bittersweet quality that anyone can relate to right now.

"plans to release two more albums this year" !!!
― ufo, Sunday, 17 May 2020 09:06 (three years ago) link
this album's the best, willing to say it's better than pop 2 now
― ufo, Monday, 8 June 2020 09:38 (three years ago) link
yeah maybe.... like i don't even want to go and compare. this album is all i could want in this vein rn.

fucking pop 2, the fucking greatest fucking record FUCK

YES
apart from sucker obv
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 12:21 (three years ago) link
Would be interesting to see a Charli albums poll at some point. I have a hard time picking between Pop 2, Sucker and her latest.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 2 February 2021 14:45 (three years ago) link
SUCKER is the only one that doesn't work for me. I would probably rank them like
how i'm feeling now > Pop 2 > Charli > True Romance > SUCKER
It's crazy to me that True Romance is only 8 years old, it feels so far away at this point.

― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 15:07 (three years ago) link
lol that's my favourite part :) nothing quite as thrilling to me as charli's rock phase - i loved seeing her with a tight band playing huge dumb riffs
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 15:08 (three years ago) link
It's probably her most uneven album but songs like Need Ur Love, Boom Clap, Doing It and the title track are still some of my favourite songs she's done. It's definitely the album of hers I've played the most.
― kitchen person, Tuesday, 2 February 2021 15:10 (three years ago) link
I do like "Boom Clap" and "Doing It" is pretty good, but there's too much other stuff that grates on me
