Charli xcx has unveiled her Vincent Cassel-starring video for 'Camera'
Aidan Zamiri directs the new video as the album cycle continues.
Charlotte Emma Aitchison, known professionally as Charli XCX, is a British singer, songwriter, and actress born on 2 August 1992. She began posting songs on Myspace in 2008 and subsequently entered the London rave scene. In 2010, she signed a recording contract with Asylum Records and released a series of singles and mixtapes in the early 2010s. Her feature on "I Love It" by Swedish duo Icona Pop in 2012 became her first number-one song in the UK and achieved international success. Her debut studio album, True Romance, was released in 2013 but did not meet commercial expectations. In 2014, she was featured on Iggy Azalea's single "Fancy," which became her most streamed song and one of the year's best-selling singles worldwide. The same year, she released "Boom Clap," her first solo top-ten single in the US. Her second studio album, Sucker, came out in 2014 and included singles such as "Break the Rules" and "Doing It." Starting in 2015, she collaborated with producers associated with the UK collective PC Music, exploring a more experimental sound and image. She released the EP Vroom Vroom in 2016 and the mixtapes Number 1 Angel and Pop 2 in 2017.

It starts, as bratty things often do, with a challenge. As Charli xcx appears centre stage, lit like a warehouse rave, she doesn't greet the Glastonbury crowd with a warm hello or a gentle build. She launches directly into the Shygirl remix of '365', a track already breathless in its original form, now refitted as a full-body assault. The bass groans. The crowd jolts. You get the feeling she's not here to convince anyone – she's here to claim what's already hers.

One year after its release, the industrial-pop masterpiece continues to shape club culture and create safe spaces.

Quick! Listen to ‘Out Of My Head’ now!
Liam Gallagher has just finished singing ‘Wonderwall’ on the main stage, eruptions of flares before him, the words ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll’ behind him but as Charli XCX bursts onto the dance tent, it’s clear who has the real star power. From the opening invitation of ‘Roll With Me’, Charli has the crowd in the palm of her hand. And today, that’s a lot of people to lead. The back to back swagger of ‘I Love It’ and ‘Break The Rules’ swing fast, already securing victory, but that doesn’t stop Charli from fighting. She’s got more to give and she expects just as much back. The scattergun cuts from ‘Number 1 Angel’ have had time to settle and find their place in Charli’s ever expanding world and today they cause just as much commotion. ‘Lipgloss’ remains the eternal riot of empowerment and parade while ‘Dreamer’ dances in the spotlight. “You might not know this one but just fucking bounce with me,” she encourages. Who can resist. The rollercoaster chirp of ‘Boys’ is dedicated to Drake (“what a cutie”) but is already an anthem for the masses. It’s what Charli XCX does best. In fact, it might be all she knows how to do. There’s an undeniable shine to today’s show, in your face, perfectly balanced and delivered with a pow, but it’s more than a quick run around of great hits. There’s a purpose to having the best time. Charli is very much in love with music and that energy, passion and desire to share drives her set skywards and gets the people going.
Charli XCX has made all of our dreams come true. During her set at Lollapalooza over the weekend, Charli brought Halsey onstage to cover the Spice Girls...
Charli's always been a bit unconventional, a pop-star with way more than one-side, and today she shows that off.
Everything has been leading to this, right?
It'd just be delayed if she decided to release it, right?
Charli XCX is a natural at being a pop star. She churns out so many bangers, there’s enough to share and while that talent for big hooks comes easily, she’s never complacent with it. Each release has seen her push forward. From the black and grey world of ‘True Romance’, through the bubblegum snarl of ‘Sucker’ and onto the glitching rainbow of ‘Vroom Vroom’, there’s been a danger and a gamble to her every turn. It’s exciting because she never stands still. Her latest release is no different. ‘Number 1 Angel’ is a mixtape in name alone as the ten tracks show off new sides to Charli’s ever expanding pop-empire. More than just a throwaway release to help bide her time until the next album, ‘Number 1 Angel’ is important. Every song released means something and this is no different. Rather than dropping it and moving on, the record was bought to life with a handful of intimate club shows around the world. Ahead of Paris and behind New York, San Francisco and an appearance with Mura Masa at Coachella, Charli XCX took to the basement of London’s Jazz Café. And it’s pandemonium from the off. Despite not going back beyond 2016, every track feels like it’s one of her greatest. The opening whirl of ‘Roll with Me’ sees everyone clamber onboard before the starry-eyed hit of ‘Dreamer’ picks up the pace. Electric and uniting, Charli leads the room in hyper-active karaoke. Bounding about the stage, singing into people’s faces and always asking for a little more, it’s tough to tell who’s more excited to be here tonight. Live, the polish of the record is scratched off and replaced with a fiery urgency. The hammer of ‘3AM (Pull Up) hits harder, the introspective romance of ‘White Roses’ unravels and winds its way around the tightly packed room and even the off-kilter skip of ‘Bounce’ makes a strange sort of sense, all tension and release. Despite her ever-changing stance, Charli’s self-empowerment has always remained firm and tonight’s closing one-two sees it light up the room. ‘Lipgloss’ is the most unrelenting thing she’s put her name to and acts as the perfect conclusion to an evening that’s persistently dialled things up before the direct club of ‘Girls Night Out’ (“No boys, no boys. It’s a girls night out”) sees the evening spill out, over and onto the street. Tonight is yet another reminder that Charli XCX is one of the best because she does what she wants. Skipping the hits, her current single and all expectations, her show at the Jazz Café is about belief, meaning and having a good time. In a world of throwaway pop and instant gratification, Charli XCX is making something that lasts.
