Charli XCX - CRASH

I think that’s the point since her caption on Instagram says to hack her nn

 

Oh nn, I completely missed that

I don't follow her socials

 

Tuesday's album sales for the Midweek Top 5.

Safe to say she has the No.1#. What a time to be alive!

 

Oh, these deluxe tracks are good!
A Platinum Pleasure-esque experience.

Well, someone clearly missed the point. Poor them.

On Lightning.

Charli crowds the track’s hook with wavering vocals, an underwhelming auto-tune breakdown, and, strangest of all, a Spanish guitar part to transition between the two.

That's the best bit. Electric chair.

 

Anyway...wait a damn minute at these deluxe tracks sounding better than some of the songs on the main album though.

 

Some of you weren't around for the "PC Music is misogynist" era and it shows!

 

Exactly, exactly.

 

Sorry If I Hurt You actually gave me chills. So good.

 

How Can I Not feels like the perfect blend of bleep bloop Charli and CRASH.

 

I really like all 4 deluxe tracks. I'll have to figure out how I want to slot them into the album proper, but they really elevate what was already a solid as hell album.

 

Here's my ranking from the standar edition:

Lightning
Twice
Crash
New Shapes
Baby
Good Ones
Used to Know Me
Yuck
Beg for You
Move Me
Constant Repeat
Every Rule

 

The girl behind me at her last tour discovered Charli from Reputation tour and talked about Taylor the ENTIRE time and was informing everyone about Taylor's SNL performance coming up. Unbearable.

 

Between How Can I Not Know... and Twice she's really perfected camouflaging devastating lyrics that accurately encapsulate anxiety in huge bops this era

 

If I had to slot the deluxe tracks into the standard tracklisting, I think this would work:

Spoiler

1. Crash
2. New Shapes
3. Good Ones
4. Constant Repeat
5. How Can I Not Know...
6. Beg for You
7. Selfish Girl
8. Move Me
9. Baby
10. Lightning
11. Sorry If I Hurt You
12. Every Rule
13. What You Think About Me
14. Yuck
15. Used to Know Me
16. Twice

"Selfish Girl" would especially work well between "Beg for You" and "Move Me," because it has that garage/breakbeat vibe throughout, but ends on an R&B-lite note that would segue well into "Move Me." Also, "Sorry If I Hurt You" is just as much of a statement as "Lightning," so those back-to-back would be *chef's kiss*.

 

Another CD could be possible but vinyl looks doubtful or is a while off.

 

All four bonus tracks are excellent. I can't believe this is turning out to become my favorite Charli album.

 

I’ve only heard the snippets of the deluxe and oh my god I can’t wait! They all sound so damn good.
