It's a solid album, but I can't stand Brooke Candy in Cloud Aura.

After repudiating her true debut LP & releasing 2 mixtapes, 20 year old English singer-songwriter Charlotte Aitchison (aka Charli XCX) unleashes 'True Romance'. While many tracks have already been heard, the voice behind Icona Pop's hit 'I Love It', delivers an impressive array of dark electro-pop that should be both critically & commercially successful. As modern as it is retro & as catchy as it is unique, the multi-layered production lends itself to repeated listening. It's overlong & a little repetitive, but otherwise this is a promising album from a talented new artist. Recommended Tracks: Nuclear Seasons, So Far Away, Set Me Free & You're the One.

This album did feel like Charli finding her feet a bit, there was some enjoyable tracks here and others had enjoyable moment, but elements of the material feel of their time and not in a good way. Charli sounds decent here, but her lyricism isn?t quite there and doesn?t match the obnoxious and blaring electronics here. 4.5/10

A good surprise this, especially given how "normal" it sounds compared to her post-Pop 2 trajectory. Indeed, it's mostly early 2010s electro/dance-pop, but you can already hear the gal's special knack of bridging 80s pop with millennial sassiness. Also, she displays some ethereal witch house influences on here, which will not be repeated in the rest of her career, thus making this first record quite unique for her. It's however pretty evident she's still figuring out how to properly deliver her art. Four more years before she understands where her place is.

Incredible singles on this one, but the project as a whole lacks the same kind of punch. It's amazing that "You (Ha Ha Ha)" and "Cloud Aura" were written by the same person. "You" is an unbelievably catchy track, while "Cloud Aura" is quite honestly one of my least favorite songs I'd heard in 2013.

Charli X is the launching pad for new popular music or love pop. Her music makes you want to move and sing. I remember Hootie and the Blowfish and Dave Mathews. Everybody thought their shit was cool. Well! It was a sonic cancer. There is a movement challenging the hootie lovers of the world. I would include Kimbra, Marina and the Diamonds, Natalia Kills, and Sky Ferreira. New Love pop makes you want to sing, dance, and love. Taylor and J lo will never have the staying power of Madonna , Michael J., or Charli x.

I wanted to like this so badly. I still love Stay Away, Nuclear Seasons and You're the One, and a few others caught my attention but most of it falls pretty flat in my opinion.

Her work here is solid. However, most of her best material has been released as a single/promotional single. rI'm definitely buying.r

All of the best material from this record was released last year. I still love "You're the One" as much as I did when it debuted, but most of the rest of this is only slightly above average.
