CRASH (Limited Red & Black

Product Information

Constant Repeat' and its sugar-coated synth lead, the sultry left-field trap of 'Move Me', the distorted nod to the 80s in 'Lightning', or the trashy euro dance of 'Used To Know Me'. While Charli’s vocals and delivery are good, it’s evident what makes these songs so great in the first place. Each of them was produced by Ariel Rechtshaid, in my humble opinion nothing less than a musical mastermind. The way he’s been caught up with Haim in the past, I didn’t expect him to have produced more than one song on CRASH. Turns out he’s responsible for most of what makes this album so good.

Now for the controversy about this being Charli’s mainstream era and her losing her artistic vision or whatever. The way I see it, you either like CRASH a lot, or you don’t enjoy it for the most part. Anyway, the more important thing is that the artist is happy with what they’re releasing out into the world. And that’s something only Charli herself can determine. In my opinion, the classic pop of CRASH is a genius move contrasting well with her visionary recent releases. Now with the singles having such a strong replay value and addictiveness to them, I didn’t expect Charli to deliver the way she did on the rest of the album. Next to the singles, all the other songs on 'CRASH' are such strong pop songs too. Only album closer 'Twice' might be the lone unmemorable offering. But the rest? Instant jaw droppers, all unique in their own way. a b c Petridis, Alexis (17 March 2022). "Charli XCX: Crash review – subverting pop's rules, or just playing by them?". The Guardian .
