Platform boots, lipstick bullets and electronic pop are just three of the pieces that makes Charli XCX's debut album, True Romance, and its lead single "You (Ha Ha Ha)" so irresistible. Charli CXC redefines the pop album sound.
"I am so happy to have finished my first album, True Romance," Charli said. "For me, it's a very emotional record. I suppose I kind of grew up through the process of making this album and as I've grown my views on love and life have been constantly changing. Each song is about love in some shape or form, whether that be euphoric love, heartbreak or obsession. Every corner of my own romantic history is explored on this record, so for me it’s very raw, it's very honest and it's very true. I've written a pop record from the heart, and when people hear it I hope they want to dance and cry at the same time."
True Romance was released April 16 on IAMSOUND.
Over the past few years, Charli has released a series of singles and mixtapes, toured the globe supporting the likes of Coldplay, Santigold, Sleigh Bells and Justice and garnered champions from practically every tastemaker blog and magazine on both sides of the Atlantic.
As well as being an artist in her own right, Charli has written and featured on one of the biggest global breakthrough hits of the last year for Icona Pop. ‘I Love It’ is currently creating an absolute frenzy stateside (featuring on a brand new Dr Pepper ad and also in the hit-TV show Girls) having blown up all over the world.
In preparation for her upcoming Bonnaroo appearance, Charli XCX's wants to give lucky O&AN readers a chance to win her debut album True Romance.
