Pop polymath Charli XCX has announced details of her new mixtape Pop2, which will be released on Friday 15th December and is available to pre order now. To coincide with the announcement, Charli has unveiled her futuristic club track Out Of My Head taken from the forthcoming release. Listen here.
Pop2 marks XCX’s second mixtape of the year and the next instalment in Charli’s mixtape series, following on from her critically-acclaimed March 2017 release Number 1 Angel. Teaming-up with previous collaborators A.G Cook and SOPHIE alongside King Henry (Beyoncé, Justin Bieber) on production, Pop2 features an all-star cast of writers and vocalists including Caroline Polachek (Chairlift), MØ, Tove Lo, ALMA, Carly Rae Jepsen, Pabllo Vittar, Jay Park and many more. Recorded across America while on tour with Halsey this autumn, the new mixtape is another forward-thinking body of work from the pop talent and, as ever, another affirmation of the 25-year-old’s trailblazing flare.
An incredibly busy year for the UK native, XCX released her pop anthem, the ARIA Gold Boys this summer. A worldwide sensation – the single has been streamed over 120 million times to date – Charli took full creative control across casting, directing and producing the accompanying official video, which featured an all-star male cast including the likes of Stormzy, Mark Ronson, Diplo, Joe Jonas, Brendon Urie, will.i.am, Mac DeMarco and Riz Ahmed. Currently featuring on David Guetta’s Dirty Sexy Money alongside French Montana, Charli closed this year’s EMA’s with a performance of the track at London’s Wembley Arena watch here.
Recently finishing-up her two, huge support tours with Halsey in the USA and stadium shows with Sia in Australia and New Zealand, watch this space for more announcements. Charli’s second season of her Beats 1 show The Candy Shop airs tomorrow morning at 4am AEST with co-host Billie Elish. The show will return in 2018, airing every other Saturday with upcoming co-host slots from Tove Lo and ALMA.
