Charli XCX is basically a critic’s pet who blew up to be one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. She’s the girl at the party who has the secrets to French philosophy and obscure art film unlocked, and even (maybe even especially) if you don’t. Her hauteur in comparison to the average pop star is exactly what makes her interesting. And Music, Fashion, Film is vastly more musically daring than anything Mother Monster ever birthed. What a peachy world it would be if Music, Fashion, Film crept into their earbuds and gave them a kick in the pants.
