Pop mastermind Charli XCX's album is stacked with big-name collaborations. It is her third studio album, following a series of mixtapes and singles released in-between her last full-length record, Sucker, in 2014.
Lizzo, Christine and the Queens, Sky Ferreira, Haim, Clairo, and Troye Sivan all make appearances, and the collaborations make for a multi-faceted record.
The singer uses her team of talent to lift the tracks when necessary, adding substance and spark to tight-knit production. The Ferreira feature, Cross Me Out, is the record's best collaboration. The duet between Charli and Sky meshes almost seamlessly, and the vocals on the synth-heavy track almost melt together.
The eagerly awaited follow-up to last year's hit 1999, Charli XCX's collaboration with Troye Sivan, the aptly named 2099, is a dark and moody sequel to its predecessor. The track is a testament to the artist's creative ferocity, which sees her employ experimental production.
