In-depth It’s Charli, baby: A comprehensive guide to Charli XCX
With new album ‘Crash’ on the way, we take an in-depth look at Charli XCX’s shapeshifting career so far.
Across years of albums, mixtapes and collaborations, Charli XCX has made a name for herself as a popstar with a huge degree of versatility. Since her stint as a DIY cover star back in October 2014, Charli has released second full-length album ‘Sucker’, followed it up with three mixtapes, lent her hand as a songwriter for a huge range of cross-genre artists and dropped some of the catchiest (not to mention commercially successful) pop tracks of the decade.
From boundary-pushing, hyper-modern mixtapes to chart-topping hits and stadium tours with Taylor Swift, we chart Charli’s rise from her humble beginnings performing in warehouse raves to her current status as an artist that’s managing to transcend traditional pop boundaries and make a career on her own terms.
