lessthanwill1 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 For some reason I am completely uninterested in this album and/or new singles despite her being one of my favourite artists. I’ve got the impressions that the recent stuff and the new album from her socials is just not going to be for me. Has any of it been any good? I should probably just listen but am interested in everyone’s thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I've heard so far has felt cold and dry, New Shape had good vocals from Christine and Caroline but the instrumental was so dull. If she's playing a lot this new stuff on her tour I'll probably give her a miss at festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans think this album is a tick box before she can go back to experimental stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm meeting her at Westfield HMV on Friday so I'll try and ask! On 3/11/2022 at 1:17 PM, Matt42 said: I don’t think she is either. Fans think this album is a tick box before she can go back to experimental stuff. My girlfriend is a big fan, and supposedly this is the last album if her record deal. If that's the case, maybe doing straight-up pop is her idea. It could be a bit like what actors do by taking on a Superhero film or whatever. She does this album, hopefully earns a bucketload of cash and then when she is independent (she hates her record label) she is set and can just do what she likes. I'm not a fan of this album really but Good Ones is possibly my favourite of all her songs ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Really enjoyed the album on 2nd listen, even if I prefer her other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Rather unexpectedly her new album seems to be getting glowing reviews across the board. Due to having to listen to Capital FM almost constantly in work I never want to hear Beg For You ever again in my life (and I didn’t like it initially) but I’m back to looking forward to this now after expecting a bit of a stinker.

FakeEmpire Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Charli has definitely settled into a cycle of one safe/commercial project followed by a more interesting indie project. It seems to be working well for her to have one foot in each world. Keeps her on the big radio/streaming playlists but also gives her credibility and freedom to experiment on every other record.

sophiemarie Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 'Lightning', 'Good Ones', 'Baby' and 'Move Me' are all bangers. Plus a couple of bops. Not bad! (I may be the only person in the world that likes 'Beg for You' 🙈) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck all those other dickhead celebrities who apparently "get it" because they spend the weekend in expensive campervans in VIP and sit looking photogenic up the Stone Circle for a bit; Charli XCX properly gets it. And her set was amazing this year, and her new album is fucking brilliant, and she's got more fucking bangers in her back catalogue at the age of 24 than anybody else in recorded history. Best person ever. Anyone able to link the Free Press article? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt42 Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Seeing she’s ended up with a subheadline position at R&L. Pretty big slot for her. Wonder if the next time she comes to the farm it will be headlining the Other Stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Popping this in here as well as the gig ticket thread. One ticket going spare for Charli in Brighton next week 31st Aug as part of revive Live, can't make it anymore. £30 face value or popping it on Twickets.

However, I am seeing Charli on Sunday at Reading and have already seen this tour 3 times now. So if anyone else wants it who has not yet seen the Crash tour, i will be happy to concede the ticket. ...but if no one else claims it, yes please!
