Sugar rush

Hear Charli XCX and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu team up on ‘Crazy Crazy’

It’s an effervescent, kinda bonkers synth-pop banger.

Hear Charli XCX and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu team up on ‘Crazy Crazy’

A couple of weeks ago a little clip emerged of a new song from Charli XCX, J-pop megastar Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and producer Yasutaka Nakata.

Well, if you think the mix of synth pop and vibrant beats were just a little bit bonkers then, the full version of ‘Crazy Crazy’ is, you guessed it, crazy. In the best possible way, of course. Nakata channels some PC Music vibes and chucks in a few vintage electronic melodies that could have come from your Sega Genesis in 1989.

Meanwhile, Charli and Kyary trade lines on the earworm hook, bombarding the audience with an onslaught of energy that’ll mean your “head is spinning in the clouds”. It’s a complete sugar rush that’s totally addictive.
