The X Factor Australia chiefs have signed up Redfoo - of chart stars LMFAO - to judge and mentor on the new series of the glorified karaoke contest. Like a polished Grimes, Miss Aitchison has made an entertaining debut, but one that only occasionally raises its head above the competition in the crowded emo electro-pop marketplace.Īrticle published in The Brag, 29th April 2013 Perhaps True Romance is best consumed as a 20-year-old themselves might do – just download the first four songs and add them to your iPod playlist. (Well, as Charli exclaimed on ‘I Love It’, she is a ‘90s bitch). Dawn’s ‘Set Adrift On Memory Bliss’ and that cringey bit at the start of All Saints’ ‘Never Ever’.

The soft-spoken words over layered synths immediately reminded me of P.M.

Driven by a fuzzy kick line, you can picture older teens singing “ Don’t Go To Sleep / Let’s Go Out” into their hairbrushes between sips from their bottle of Lambrini and saying “like” a lot.īut as the album progresses, the songcraft diminishes. ‘Take My Hand’ is catchy club pop at its best. It sets the tone for a polished, upbeat collection of songs that disguise the heartbreak of the subject matter, in a manner and quality similar to Robyn’s ‘Dancing On My Own’. With ‘Nuclear Seasons’, the album starts in fine fashion. If you can get past that, though, many of the songs on True Romance are actually very good.

Yet even if you somehow managed to avoid that track (where the hell have you been?!) the voice might seem familiar anyway, because she sounds a lot like any number of female pop stars making similar angsty electro, including Robyn, Ellie Goulding and Marina and her Diamonds. 20-year-old Charlotte Aitchison, aka Charli XCX, wrote and sang on Icona Pop’s late 2012 monster hit ‘I Love It’. It’s likely you’ll recognise the voice without knowing the name.
