Giorgio Moroder - Diamonds (ft. Charli XCX)

Left over from sessions Charli XCX did in Sweden in the run-up to her first album, ‘Diamonds’ couldn’t quite find a proper home on ‘True Romance’. No wonder. Imagine The Knife’s ‘Heartbeats’ on an intensive diet of strobe lights and sherbet dib-dabs, and you’re halfway there. In disco maestro Giorgio Moroder, though, Charli’s hyperactive magpie ode to all things sparkly and expensive finds a home.

“I’m dressed up like a girl’s best friend,” she quips over unrelenting 4/4 dancefloor foundations, robotic voices chiming in every now and again with “diamonds.” One of the many star-studded collaborations on ‘Déjà Vu’ Giorgio Moroder’s first album in over thirty years, Charli’s in good company with Sia, Britney Spears, Mikky Ekko, and Kelis. Moroder might’ve taken a long break, but in a snap, he’s right back at the forefront.
