“I thought: What if we made a record with guitars? Or with rope instruments in general? Or both? ”Reflected electronic pop artist
Charli XCX He promoted a revolution in his own musical career recently. Brat(2024), his praised most recent album, explores influences from the English scene of the so -called “Rave Music”. It sounds less pop, more aggressive and, why not, bold compared to previous work – which earned him great recognition of both criticism and the public.
And a new change may be coming. At least that’s what the singer herself indicated in publication on social networks (via Music Radar).
She, who won three Grammy awards earlier this month, reflected on her current music inspirations and wanted to know the opinion of the fans. The recent collaboration with the indie artist Lighter – Occurred during a show at the Australian Festival Laneway – was approached to indicate a possible path: a rock sound album.
As a reference, the Englishman quoted none other than Lou Reedlate icon of alternative rock that made history so much with the Velvet underground as in solo career. Charli stated:
“I really had fun doing it [a colaboração recente com Clairo] And that made me think: What if we made a record with guitars? Or with rope instruments in general? Or both? Entering my era Lou Reedperhaps? I don’t know, I’m just saying … ”
Still in the video, the British praised the music “Sofia”who sang with Lighter during the festival mentioned. The track released on the album Immunity(2019) was cited as one of the favorites of Charli since he first heard her.

Charli XCX’s great inspiration on the electronic
While not directed to rock, Charli XCX Follows with its influences of electronic music. The artist even cites a name of the genre that thrills her to this day, especially through a live album.
The subject was addressed in the midst of an interview with the channel WSJ Style About the underground scene of London. At the time, the Englishman explained how the genre influenced her and also highlighted a TV series as part of this ecosystem in her teens.
She said:
“I was so inspired by nightlife when I was younger, because it was so encouraging and refreshing. Where my friends and I grew up, we weren’t really ‘inside’ this culture. We were not experiencing nightlife in London. We were just watching (the series) Skins. So going to raves, parties and things like that really influenced me. ”
As a larger example of electronic sound, Charli pointed out Daft Punk. In citing her favorite work of the duo, the singer was confused about where she was recorded-in Paris, not at the Coachella Festival-but it is Alive 2007 (2007), according to their live album.
The artist said:
“I was playing the live album of Daft PunkCoachella’s, and that album makes me shed tears. It makes me emotional, because I think, ‘Wow, imagine being there in that crowd, listening to one of the greatest bands of all time, in this giant collective experience.’ It’s a very emotional kind of place (for me). ”
