Biography

With an abundance of emotive dark pop songs, and backed by top producers and a growing army of worldwide fans, Charli is proving to be anything but a run-of-the-mill pop artist.

Earlier this summer, Charli released ‘Stay Away’. Co-written and produced by Ariel Rechtshaid (Glasser, Diplo), it is as knock-you-to-the-floor as first introductions come. A massive anthem that combines all the majestic bluster of the 80s with distinct post-millennial production, it’s an epic and heart-wrenching addition to pop’s cannon about “unrequited love and being tainted by someone so you can’t be around them any more”.

Guardian Guide made it pick of the week and it made the prestigious Pitchfork Best New Music playlist. Radio 1 support came from Annie Mac, Nick Grimshaw, Rob da Bank, Huw Stephens, Fearne Cotton and Pete Tong.

Charli’s not just sought after for her music though; she’s been muse to both Rankin and David Bailey already. “Bailey was cool but so scary” she remembers. “He said ‘you’ve got a lovely voice, but your trousers are fucking shit’.

Playing in bands since the age of seven, Charli’s long had music coursing through her veins. She recorded her first album at 14 with a loan from the bank of mum and dad and she’s only just paid them bac. It did the trick though attracting attention from the right London scenesters and bagging her gigs at warehouse raves across Hackney. A support slot with Peaches followed soon after and before she knew it she was playing the Royal Festival Hall and returning to Bestival last year as a resident (following in Florence’s footsteps). She’s supported Robyn at the Roundhouse and is playing a single launch at Electrowerks at the end of October.

    @Fox_Genetrix I remember being impressed with the first half and slight bored with the second half but after a while, it became addictive. It grows on you. :)

    I really like the first half of the album a lot, the second half loses me. I LOVE rap but god damn is Cloud Aura terrible, and I can't stand Do Far Away either. Maybe if I swap in two other tracks fr her mixtape I won't lose interest because the first half is pretty good. I hope she improves the rapping or lose it altogether for the second album because it is god awful

    I think True Romance was decent coming from a 20 year old new to the whole music making concept. If she keeps true to what she wants to do, I bet her second album will be much better.

    I wish I liked her because I feel like I'm missing out.

    I agree with fatpugdog. I'm not really a hater, I just don't like the music or that the music really doesn't do anything for me. I prefer Sky, FJ Marina, little boots, ladyhawke, Annie, crystal castles, and la roux over this. But if you like it than that's cool.

    I can't get over her description on here, lol who the fuck wrote that? Sounds like they were getting off as they wrote it because it's so goddamn cheesy and over the top.
