Charli XCX


From playing illegal raves as a teenager to playing two huge stadium tours back to back, Charli XCX has finally broken through into the mainstream with her unique electro-pop sound. In this episode of Pop Waves we go right back and explore where she came from and why we think Brat has finally given her her moment in the spotlight.
