Charli xcx: Rock Music review
(Atlantic)The lyrics may argue the dancefloor is dead, but this funny, wilfully plasticky new single isn’t the total about-turn from Brat that fans expected
TL;DR
- Charli xcx's new single "Rock Music" is not a rock album as suggested by some media outlets.
- The track features distorted guitars and live drums but remains an unequivocal pop song with a "willfully plasticky-sounding" production.
- Lyrics humorously reference "rock music" and playfully dismiss the idea of "the dancefloor is dead."
- The song maintains a similar "up-yours attitude" to her previous album "Brat" while marking a new direction.
- The single has generated anticipation for the rest of her upcoming, untitled album.
