    This is the future of pop music, and everyone needs to get on Charli XCX's train to 2099. "Charli" is an instant pop classic.

    The future of pop showed how she can push boundaries of pop music, mapping the landscape of the future of pop. In this self titled project, she showed both vulnerability and how she can innovate the sound of pop. This really is Next Level Charli

    this album really redefined the socionormativity and the stigmatizations around the world by rewriting the plethoraexanoroma and the rules of society with modicum panaceas with predilection dignified with pragmatic tetroxides

    My favorite since "True Romance", combining all the good that her debut had in terms of composition with what we could hear on "Vroom Vroom" and the last two mixtapes. "Gone" is one of the best songs released in 2019.

    If there’s one thing about Charli XCX she knows the power of a collab, the collaborations on this album are the strongest I’ve heard on an album in a damn good while and that’s not taking away from Charli herself, she shines bright on White Mercedes. Overall it’s faultless future pop and no one else is doing what she is.

    The song "Next Level Charli" and the last sentence in Under The Radar review explain it all: "Charli is another winning release from an artist who won't be stopped in pushing pop music into the 22nd century."

    In terms of lyrics, it is an undisputable fact that she has improved. You can see that in mid-tempo songs such as "White Mercedes", "Silver Cross", and "Official".

    It will be erring to claim that this is one of the best album of the decade, because this is the best album of the next century.    … Expand

    The production on the album (helmed by A.G. Cook of PC Music) is both singular, and wide-ranging, allowing a seemingly endless list of collaborators to naturally click into place in Charli’s sound. I’ve never heard anything like what exists on this album, especially not in a pop album that could potentially have radio-play. Truly genius.

    Perfection! Charli is at the top of her game and it shows. What an exciting ride it's been watching her grow as an artist but I have a feeling this is only the beginning.

    Charli is charismatic, funny, confident and honest and raw on her self-titled album. This album is really a gift to the fans. She explores many genres and music styles with a help from A-list collaborators like Troye Sivan, HAIM, Lizzo, Kim Petras and others.

    On fan-favourite haunting track "Warm" she sings "You are the reason why we can't fall in love" softly over synth beats, her voice is so delicate and pleasing and takes you to another world. But what's so great about this record is it doesn't feel like it's made for everybody. It's Charli in her true shape.    … Expand

    I love it! One of the best if not the best experience with pc music this year. This is a pop masterpiece. This album from start to finish is absolutely amazing... I have connected with Charli's music emotionally a lot for the past few months.

    She's so unique: she manages to give us experimental pop but at the same time it's somewhat commercial. Some songs are very personal and you can see that she and her crew poured their hearts into this. I'm so in love with this project and her.

    Charli XCX proves once again that she is SAVING POP MUSIC & is desperately needed as pop is in a crisis. With tracks like Gone, Shake It, or Click, Charli reinstates herself as the QUEEN OF FUTURE POP MUSIC.

    It’s a party album, which means it’s utopian. It’s a solo album, which means it’s rebooting. “Next Level Charli” doesn’t sound like a version we’ve never heard before; it sounds like the very same, not even accelerated but integrated, at 100% synchronization rate.

    It often feels as if Aitchison's nasal croon and counter-intuitive toplines are the least interesting bits of her own project. [Nov 2019, p.116]

    The good news is that her songwriting is stronger than ever. Along with co-executive producer A.G. Cook, Charli XCX has put together a delightful album of high-end pop confections. Charli packs in plenty of wow and proves to be more than worth the wait.
