True Romance

Charli xcx

“the absolute perfection of most of the songs makes up fur the occasional dud (cough cough cloud aura). truly this is some of charli's best work; every melody gets stuck in your brain, her songwriting is incredibly relatable, and the production is insane for 2013. just so good. faves: you hahaha, lock you up, grins, set me free, you're the one least faves: cloud aura, black roses”

Fancy That

PinkPantheress

“no real qualms with this one. it's a very very very enjoyable listen and i love being able to pick out the samples and interpolations! considering that pink herself is a big MCR and panic fan, i wish i could've heard even more of their influence, but i guess it doesn't really work with the genre (although do you know what i'm seeing was sampled). only one skip for me, which is romeo unfortunately. i get the concept but it just doesn't feel nice in my ears like the other songs do, and i don't think it works as a closer. nice to know you would've been a better choice maybe. but what do i know? i'm just a teenage girl! wish this were a longer album as well but like idrc. faves: stateside, nice to know you, girl like me least fave: romeo”
