CHARLI XCX: Pop2 (Asylum)

FRESH from making one of the pop singles of the summer in Boys, Charli XCX takes a sidestep on this mix tape, made on tour and released digitally. A stop-gap between official albums, it allows the prolific Cambridge singer to experiment with futuristic beats and fresh vocal partners over ten new songs: Carly Rae Jepsen guests on Backseat; Scandinavian electro-dance stars Tove Lo and Alma shine on Out Of My Head.
