Artist: Charli XCX

Though she just released her debut  True Romance , Charli XCX somehow found time to repay Lindstrom for his remix of her track "You (Ha Ha Ha)" by teaming up with Brit producer TWIN iDoL on this remix of the Norwegian producer's 2012 single "Fāār-i-kāāl." It's an excellent reinvention - the original's skittery backbeat provides the perfect foundation for Charli's soaring, lovelorn vocals. Check it out. And you should obviously also check out Charli's cover of The Backstreet Boys' classic [...]

• Lindstrøm - Fāār-i-kāāl (Charli XCX vs TWIN iDoL remix)

Charli XCX has taken off with a brand of pop worlds apart from the boy band stylings of Backstreet Boys, but surprise, she's "obsessed" with this one. Maybe it shouldn't be that surprising—after all, she did write "I Love It," which is currently one of the top 10 songs in the U.S. She recently took [...]

Charli XCX has gone full '90s. The British popster is stateside touring for her new album "True Romance"—she popped into Borderline Music in Chicago for an in-store performance Tuesday and unleashed this version of Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way." And you know what? It sounds damn good. The raw intimacy of her voice in this live setting has her sounding a little bit like Natasha Khan on Bat for Lashes ' latest efforts. Makes you wonder how many of these insanely cheesy pop hits of the '90s are actually great songs below all that [...]

If you could see the shape of my heart right now, it's struggling not to implode. Experimental pop songstress  Charli XCX lends her incredible voice of Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way." It seems like she may have only first heard this song recently saying "I hope you like it and because I love it i'm like obsessed with this now." Or maybe she is just obsessed with performing it? After this display, I'm obsessed with her performing it too. And this is coming from an N*Sync fan. This is so special. THANK YOU GF. Enjoy more [...]

After releasing two albums in 2012, Norway's Hans-Peter Lindstrøm has been keeping a little quiet...drinking espresso, riding his bike all over Oslo, and, of course, working on new material and remixes a plenty. While we can't share with you anything new from the Lindstrøm camp today, we can serve up the Charli XCX vs. TWIN iDoL Remix of Smalhan's "Faar-I-kaal." This follows Lindstrøm remixing Charli XCX's "You Mu Ha Ha Ho," off of True Romance, released earlier this year on IAMSOUND. Lindstrøm online: www.feedelity.com www.soundcloud.com/feedelity [...]

Ya lo decíamos en la reseña de su disco debut, la artista pop que lleva dentro Charli XCX no se puede ni se quiere esconder. Así lo mostró la cantante durante una breve presentación que dio en una tienda de música en Chicago , donde terminó con un cover a "I Want It That Way" de Backstreet Boys . Miren este cover a continuación y lean nuestra reseña de su disco True Romance aquí .

Sometimes it takes the right singer to deliver the wrong song. And while Backstreet Boys seem like unlikely territory for Charli XCX , the British singer proves otherwise. On Tuesday, Charli stopped by Chicago indie record shop Borderline Music, where she performed a short in-store performance, which ended with a cover of the Boys' "I Want It That Way". Between the tune ups and her spectral vocals, Charli really makes it her own anthem, quite similar to how Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U" forever belongs to Sinead O'Connor. Catch it below. Keep your eyes [...]

The Backstreet Boys' luminous ballad " I Want It That Way " is almost indisputably the single greatest song to come out of the teenpop era, and if you're still resisting its charms 15 years later, this is a pretty good morning to reconsider. Yesterday, during an in-store performance at Chicago's Borderline Music, the British singer Charli XCX, who released her own album of pretty amazing pop songs just last month, busted out a charmingly low-key synthpop cover of the song. There's nothing ironic about this particular cover; she's radiating pure love the entire time. Also, I love [...]

O duo  ASTR ,  de Nova York, já tinha liberado anteriormente os singles “Goodnight” e “Razor”, mas é agora, com “Operate”, que temos até então a maior obra-prima da dupla. Saídos do Brooklyn, o duo demonstra bastante as influências do bairro em suas músicas, que, dentro de um contexto indie-pop, revelam todo o gingado que, como nenhum outro gênero, o R&B e o hip hop possuem. A brincadeira soa como um  Purity Ring  cantado pela  Charli XCX , e traz um instrumental extremamente sutil e detalhado, como um resgate à música black-eletrônica dos anos 80 mas que flerta [...]

In return for Norwegian Cosmic genius Lindstrøm reMixing here current single, You (Ha Ha Ha) , ElectroPop princess Charli XCX has teamed up with Twin Idol to drop a radical reworking of Lindstrøm’s Fāār-I-Kāāl . And when we say ‘radical reworking’, we really mean it, Fāār-I-Kāāl , is I’m sure you remember is a bright, optimistic slab of funky galactic Disco. This is a bass heavy ElectroPop haze. So what we have here is an R&B flavoured Bass track with and ElectroPop vibe. Charli lays [...]

Honestly, True Romance didn't offer me much that felt romantic or true. Aside from a few well-written and produced singles, this album mostly dishes out cookie cutter electropop with very little flare. WATCH THE REVIEW

Estourou de vez. Preparem os ouvidos (ou os olhos) para ver como a mocinha Brooke Candy vai ser comparada (estupidamente?) com a Lady Gaga . Excentrismos à parte, Brooke é a definição perfeita para a palavra atitude. A nova queridinha do mundo da música, da moda e dos hipsters vem de Los Angeles, diretamente da cena stripper da cidade. A começar por aí, o rostinho nos é familiar. Trabalhou com Grimes no clipe de "Genesis", trabalhou com Charli XCX e alguns outros nomes mais undergrounds. A música está em algum lugar entre o [...]

SXSW Interviews: Charli XCX is a post from Indie Houston - Music - Technology - Press - Independent - Media - Houston, Texas By Ivan Guzman Charli XCX and I took a seat out in the glistening sun at 10 AM on my second day of the adventure that was SXSW. The dark bubble-goth pop diva was dressed in some, I would say, 7-inch, black platform boots with a green plaid, high-waisted school girl-like skirt and dog collar choker - a 902s, soft grunge style that is always apparent in [...]
