Charli XCX - True Romance

I'm a big fan of Charli XCX, particularly her Heartbreaks and Earthquakes Mixtape. Her debut full-length, True Romance, shows off new material as well as some touched-up tracks from various releases that pre-date it.

The strengths and weaknesses, then, are the same as they ever were: One would never accuse Charli XCX of being a poet laureate, but the honesty and emotion make the stale lyrics (mostly) an after-thought. The production is strong and her voice serves her well.

All in all, a strong effort.
