Charli XCX - Sucker (2nd Studio Album)

"London Queen" .. the jam I've been waiting since March.. it feels like a dream
Seriously, this album may be too 'pink' and feminine, and I maybe should be embarrassed a bit because I'm not gay and so on but I still love the punky tunes she has made.

Why should you be embarrassed?

'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
But secretly you'd love to know what it's like
Wouldn't you
What it feels like for a girl
 
I mean, Charli has always been bratty, but she usually managed to marry it with some eloquence or intelligence. It's like she saw how well the utterly brain-dead "I Love It" did and just threw her hands up and surrendered.

Yes, Charli HAS been bratty, but it's always been done with a knowing wink. Now it feels like she's gained a bunch of tween girl fans and feels like she has to be NAUGHTY1!!1.
 
Being embarrassed of your music taste because you're not gay..............................

nope I did not mean that..u got me wrong. I just often listen to music that is listed as "feminine" or so on. and I have not been embarrassed so far, I said that maybe I should..
 
So what if Charli didn't write London Queen from scratch? It's a kick ass punk song that suits her perfectly. I can already see the tweens mosh pit dancing at her show. I guess it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I absolutely love it. It's totally Shampoo 2014.

By the way, I'm surprised people 'got' Bubblegum Bitch, but not this.

I don't get what you're all moaning about, London Queen is great. Giving me Go-Go's circa 1982 vibes. The worst I can say about it is that it's repetitive, but it is Ramones-inspired...

Well, I don't think it kicks ass, so mostly I hear it as the death of what had, up until this point, been a very good ear for pop songs. I cannot imagine hearing this and thinking "Wow! What a song! I must record this." Because it's not special at all.
 
The fact that Mr. PJ recently refered to the album as 'album of the year' and rated this a 6/10 makes me not completely lose faith in this project.
 
That track listing looks more legitimate than the other one - Amazon usually gets the information from the label so it's probably real.

I look forward to "Seronja" somehow being on the album and proving me wrong, though.

I think "Seronja" was the demo version of "Sucker". I'm pretty sure that it was "F*ck You! Seronja!"
And it's funny that we had two wrong track listings.
