Charli XCX’s Crash Review: I Love It.
Around The Time, Say Circa Mid 2000s, the First Generation Of Digital Status Containers, known To Us As “My Space” Became The Internet’s Premier social Site. The First In Lines Of Social Media as We Have Today My Youth Had Yet To Come Full Bloom. The Ear of My Flowered Innocence. The senses that disclosed the Higher classifications Of Forms Of Media Remained Dormant.
The Advance Reflexive And Intuitive Perceptions That Kind Of Particle-lised the Distinctive Difference Music Genre Evolved through Two Brackets. My Tetris-Like Coalescing Frontal Lope Could Only compartmentalize all The Bells and Whistle Into Two Uniquely Filtered Conditions of Sonic expression. If The Music Boomed and Bop. Made References To Violence and Money. Oh, Filed Away In The Hip-Hop/Rap Category. Counter to that, References of Love, Romance, Faithfulness and Adherents To The Judicial Process, that’s sR&B . Anything Else, Regardless of What The Music Endered And Meant God Know What Underneath; rock, punk, Indie, Etc. A guitar riff Or Base chord Those We’re By Another party and Could Be Safely Ignored With Little Consequence.
Blooming Arrived Or, You Know What; I Got Older, Ok. The music Seeping through the airways And Cascading Across The Rail Ways on Synaptic lining in the Ridgeway In My Cerebrum became more than just a mood dispensary weapon. The Pastime Became An Investment And Eventually A Reward. The layers and structures of the composition Became More Pronounced. As a writer knowing the became Valuable Even so A Luxury—an illustrious Coat To An Otherwise Decadent Journalistic(Semi) Assemblage. In truth, the music theory Majors understand the weight of all the elements of Each Sound Better. I’m just a fan who did a few courses because… Note From Conscience: Jason, ENTER TRANSITION HERE.
When I Discovered R&B And Pop Were Branched Off, I Can’t Say. The Realization Obvious Sense, Like Duh.
The Realization That These Were Two Different Genres Seems Obvious Now, But There are Blurred Lines Between Them. Pop Music Idealizes Romanticism Just Like R&B, with Pop's added benefit, Kind Of “Pops.” The samples are Loud and, At It’s Best, Rangy And Fused with Expressive, Even Exaggerated Penning. R&B Has A Somber Tone, One Of Reflection, and Delight.
FAILED TO ENTER TRANSITION.
I Guess I Can Get Into what Brought All Of This Jargon To The Point.
Charli XCX, The British Starlet, Pop Sensation Dropped Her Fifth And To Be, Final Album Under Her Contract With Atlantic. This Contract That Spans Almost a Decade Spans Five Albums And From The Essex Native to Stardom. “Crash” completes The Contract and Adds Another Foyer To what's Been One of The Best Pop Careers Note Of the Decade. The Album Its Released Date about two weeks ago, on March 18th. CXX Took To Instagram to brandish the Promotional Cover And “Box Set.” The Album Might Be One Of The Best Album This Year. I Enjoy Listening To This Than Say…
Full Name Charlotte Emma Aitchison As Bristish A Name As Ever. Still, Surprisingly Only 29 With “Double-Agent” level Depth In Her CaReer XCX, Charli Kiss Charli, Desires To Continue To Experimenting With Sounds and Inspire. Charlotte Started Recording and Writing Music At Sixteen. Posting some “rancorous” Recording to Myspace. That’s when she Signed Her First Major. The “iconic” and Enigmatic Vixen Of Lady With Strong Voice. Charli Hit The Major Airways With Her Collaboration and Writing Of Icona Pop “I Love It.” The Song Dominated and somewhat defined the era it hoped to champion.
The Battle Cry for rambunctious Adolescence And Defiant teen-Millennials Of All Creeds and Walk Of Life.
“I Don’t Care. I love It.” Irresistibly Noisy And Punchy.
At The Time XCX For All Her Brash Inflictions Lacked Presents. The Song Created a Fame and Following Of Its Own. Icona Pop, The Artist, and Composer Charli scream, “I Crash Me Into The Bridge... I Don’t Care.” Over A techno-Rave Sonic Percussions and Repetitive Cords. “I Love It” became “one of the biggest hits of 2013”. An anthem For Stores Like “Hot Topic” and Tattoo Parlors. A “Constant Repeat” If I Am To Allude To The Discourse Forth Coming.
The Name CXX Had Breeched Through to Other Side In The Days Before Viral Sensations Were The Norm. The Song Brought Mainstream Credibility And Monterey To A Then Pugnacious 20 years Old Charlotte and Became A Token Note Of Charli Soul, Her Personality. “You’re From The ’70s, But I’m A Nineties B****.” The Song Marked Charli as a “Singer on the rise” Binding The ERA Of Internet Sensational Into Chart Clamoring Sucess.
In an Interview With New York Times, Charlie confessed: I’m a huge fan of movies like “Clueless” and “Jawbreaker.”
These Influences would continue to pattern her music. She’d build in The sudden Success and Charlotte’s Name in the Pool Of Pop Discourse. If she Could Escape The Drawls Of Fragmented MySpace Bio Op Writing
Charli took the Noteworthy seized moment to Improve Her Writing.
Through her Formative Years, XCX Live Even Thrived On Expressive but repetitive Bars. “I Love It” Only Features One stanza repeated Twice Along With The Chorus. Repetition and catchiness are Defining Treat Of Pop Music. Think About What Rihanna Hit “What’s My Name?” Would-Be Like Without “Oh Nah, Nah Nah…” And The the Refolding of lines underscores What the British Songstress Express To New York Times
“I still maintain that when I write songs, I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t think about it pragmatically. I say what’s in my brain, and sometimes it’s great, and sometimes it’s terrible.”
XCX Dared To Take On An Unrefined Process To Song Writing. Because Charli Assures Me She’ll Give Me What I Want Like “Lightning, Lightning.”
The Freeform Formula Tethered To Her Proclivity Towards Experiment With Differing Sounds, Put Charlie’s Career In A Vacuum Of Hit Or Miss Pop Sensations. Who Can Reach Chart-Topping Sucess But Won’t Dominate The Discussion? But her experimentation oms make her music Intriguing Even If It’s a Cacophony Down Pour Of Miss Guided Adolescent expression.
Charli’s Writing Style That Brought Fans And A personal Favorite “Bomb Clap” From The Soundtrack Of “The Fault In Our Stars” And XCX Voice To Theaters. Also Featured On soggy Azeala’s Smash Hit Fancy.
Pop Music Dominates The Charts. Helped by All Synth and Splashed With Glittery Rhymes, it Makes The Perfect Genre For Aspiring Artist To Break Into Dilute. Recently, Several Starlets Have Took Working The Pop Charts For Their rise To Success.
Ariana Grande, “Positions”. Grammy Nominated.
Billie Eilish, “Happy Than Ever,” 2021. Grammy Nominated.
Dua Lipa, “Future Nostalgia,” 2020 Universal Acclaimed. (Peak Number 2 On The Charts)
Doja Cat “Planet Her,” 2021(Grammy Nominated)
Suspected “Industry plant” Olivia Rodrigo, “Sour,” 2021(Grammy Nominated).
The artists, Their Names, and Records Have All Amassed Chart-Topping Success And Critical Reception Over The Past Two years.
Squeezing Into One of the Few Spaces Of Creativity, Renowned For Its Repetitiveness Requires Imagination.
It’s Lead Charli, who, For Reasons Unknown, Hasn’t Gained Quite The Noteworthy Of any Of The acts Mentioned Prior despite her longevity “People were trying to get me to replicate ‘I Love It,’ and I feel like I can’t write songs in a contrived way.” This Quote From 2014, To Be Rebellious. A place She’s Found So Much of The Inspiration For Her Music.
Charli’s Previous Work, Sculpted Through The Uncertainty Of The Pandemic, An Audience Uncharacteristically Privy To Her Music In What Pitchfork Described as An “Unusually Transparent Creative Process.”
The title is “How I’m Feeling Now.” Charli Took To Twitter And Promoted The six Week's Work.
Two Years Later, the Follow Up Offering “Crash.” Promote Through Instagram. Through A Short Vid, Charli Implores Her Loyal Fans, whom The Songstress Has Renamed “Angels,” To Purchase Her Vinyl As She Opens And Explore The Content Of The Promotional Disk.
“It’s the Best Album You’ll Ever Listen To.” Charli In Authoritative British Ascent Assures.
“Buy It.”
The Two Version Album one Deluxe One Standard. Both distinctive iconography Features XCX Bloodied And Crouch Over The Hood Of A 90s Corvettes (?) Blood Splattered and Crawled across her Half-Naked Body.
The Standard Version Features A Crack Class the 16 Song expanded Edition Doesn’t Feature The Cracks. Her naturally super curly Sprawls confused, If Not Stunned, And Incredulous Face Staring Into The Camera A Collison Which Embodies.
It’s A Collision Course Of Pop And XCX’s Feelings.
The Album Jumps From Dimension To Dimension in Pop. Neo-Pop, Soft Pop, Rock Pop, Electro Pop, And So On. The Composition Provides Little Staircasing Or Transitioning Between Track. The Pop-Funk Ends, And The Electro Sound Kicks As If Bended By Loops. The New Chords, Samples, Drums, and Synths appear and collapse as quickly as they form, Like Folding Doorways Of Inceptio. Charlie’s Told Apple Music That This Project Would Be Experiment. An Earnest And Final Installment That Took Full Advantage Of All The Compliments A Major Deal Lavish Upon Their Artist. Gratefully Charli Distinctive voice coaxes everything. This Meeting Of Many Flavors Reminded Me Of Trails Separating Genres And When Pose Properly, How One Could Guise As Another.
A Host Of Collabs handled CXX Executive Produced The Album, And Track Production. Lotus IV, A Confessed Confidant Of XCX A.G. Cook And Sleeve of Other Beat Makers Which Kind Of Underscore The Disjointed track Alignment.
Several Singles Foreran The Album. “New Shapes” Features Caroline Polachek And Christine And The Queens. “Good Ones,” “Used To Know Me.”
Both Disc Began With The Eponymous Track That Seldom Became “Crash.” In True Charli Curly Her Fingers Around Her Ears Crazy Fashion( Check Fany Video For Reference), “Until maybe a week before I made this song, the album was going to be called Sorry If I Hurt. You.”
The Track Survived The Speed Bump Of Whim And Led The Album. A Short Introductory Track That Sets Tone for Listeners Who Enter A The 45 Minute journey. CXX Digs Into Her Roots. XCX Bellows In A Seductive Tone “Im About To crash Into Crash The Water.” Which Alludes, Maybe Not Intentional, Too “ I Love It” ((Driving Off of A Bridge). Only Now XCX Wants Her Lover To Plummet With Her. Charli’s Transfuses Her “Bionic” Vocals into the Synth-Wave Production Saturating Atmosphere. The song breathes a freshness to generic pop. Like A Deliver Fresh fruits As the old, Discarded From The Selection. The Lyrics Break Into The Airwaves With A “Robotic” SoundScape. As Lead Track Crash Offers Up A Sonically inescapable introduction. Sorry If I Hurt you Would Later Become a Track on The Deluxe Version of The Album.
“New Shapes.” Track Number Two Finds Charli And Her Co-Stars Christine And The Queens And Polachek using Metaphor To Change The Way They Want To Engaged Their Lover. “I haven’t got what you need from me because I am not typical. I don’t operate in the way you want me to.”. The trio Has Ether-like Chemistry. Having Worked And performed Together With One Another In Some Capacity over the year, Officially “New shapes” Marks Their First Entry Joint Venture. Each Artist sweep Through Line And stanzas Of how the Heart And The Nebulous Love Can Morph Into New Shapes. It’s An Introspective Charli. Still Growing And Trying To Understand Herself. “I Don’t Know Why I Am Always Pushing For A Sweet Escape.” It means She May Not Know what She Wants But Certainly Knows What She Doesn’t. IT WOULD BE BEST TO LOOK ELSEWHERE for a Lover Seeking Standardized Affections. “What You Want I Aint Got It.”
This Relationship discord Bridges Into The Next Single, “Good Ones.” The Unconventionality Nature of Charli Emerges In Her despondent To A “Good Boy” She Always Let’s Go. Charli Confessed In Her Apple Music Interview That The Album Would Be laced Or Threaded With Her Brand Of Emotional Chaos And To The Mainstream, She’s A Quote “constant Head***.” She Always Lets The Good One's Go. There Are Tires of Dysfunction But Also Honesty and Self-aware. The Song Reminiscing Of Classic Radio 80’s Pop. Girls Just Want to Have Fun Era Of Music.
The Continue Emotional Exploration of Charli’s Musical Range Bends and Winds through The Next few Tracks. “Constant Repeat,” A Spaced Out Techno adventure Where Charli’s caught Her Own In Own Love Stuck Scenario. “You Could Have Had A Bad By Your Side.” She Bells Almost Averring. The track funnels Into “Beg for You.” A More Submissive Charli Refusing To Let A lover Just walk Away.
The record Goes Real Utempo With A Disco-funk Inspired “Baby.” The Electro-Pop Banger “Lightning.”
At the Puncture, The Tracks And Charli Natural Charisma Have Settle In The Album Moves Through Track A Somber Note Like “Every Rule.” A Taboo Love Ballad With Piano An Drum chord Tumbling Under XCX’s Electronic Vocals.
The Standard Edition of The Album ends At Twice. The Deluxe Breaks Off Into Four More Songs, Including Hit “Selfish Girl,” An 80’s track Of Self Flagellating Honesty. The Deluxe Also Includes the Former Album Baring Track “Sorry if I Hurt You.”
At Only 29 Years Old and At The End of Her Present Deal, The Future Could Be Bright or Dim Depending On Charlotte’s Approach. She’s On Tour, And No Doubt A New Major Deal Will Be On The Books For Her Soon.
For Now, Crash. 8.5/10.
