Instead of adding a bunch of teases and passing the time over, Charli XCX knows exactly how to fill the anticipated wait for her brand new album – by dropping a mixtape full of heavyweight tracks and already-formed favourites.
The ‘Number 1 Angel’ mixtape combines collaborations with the likes of AG Cook, MØ, Raye and more – all coming in and adding their own mark on a collection that many would settle for as their lead album.
What that does point to though, is how bloody massive that Charli XCX album is – if this is what can be divvied out in a mixtape. Infectious, raw and effortlessly stellar, it’ll soundtrack Friday in such a perfect manner that we might as well change the name of the day in tribute.
CharliDay certainly has a ring to it.
