Charli XCX – Emelline/Art Bitch

When I was first presented with Charli XCX’s new double A-sided single I took a somewhat narrow-minded approach in predicting that it would be a stereotypical example of a sixteen-year-old girl making awful music in a bid to look original. Unfortunately, ‘Emelline’ seemed to confirm my fears. ‘Art Bitch’ however is a completely different story. Running on a brilliant mixture of soft vocals, catchy keyboards and cute, honest lyrics, it goes someway to show that we can maybe still expect big things from the young Miss XCX. Dropping all the remixes however would be a good idea…
