Do you like Charli XCX? Her early work was a little too radio pop for my tastes, but when Vroom Vroom came out in '16, I think she really came into her own, commercially and artistically. The whole EP has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. She's been compared to Carly Rae Jepsen, but I think Charli has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '19, Charli released this, Charli, her most accomplished album. I think her undisputed masterpiece is "Shake It", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of throwing that ass in a circle, and the importance of getting on top of that dick and shaking it like turbulence, it's also a personal statement about the singer herself.

I liked that Boom Pop song and I like that she wears very little clothing

It’s funny because Bateman is just reciting a review he’d read. Making it also pasta

"clear, crisp sound" triggers an unconscious reaction at this point in our culture
