Charlotte Emma Aitchison, better known by her stage name Charli XCX is wasting no time keeping the momentum flowing since the release of her eclectic debut "True Romance" earlier this year, she's already getting ready to follow it up with another one. There aren't many details out there for the next record, but she's shared a flirty colorful video as she spends a night out with the girls in Tokyo for the fizzy, club-happy new track, "SuperLove," the first single from Charli's upcoming sophomore major label album, that’s planned for release in March 2014.
Follow-up to the song she wrote for Icona Pop and worldwide hit single "I Love It," the shiny pop tune "SuperLove" has more of a big-room nightclub feel than anything on her debut "True Romance." "'SuperLove' is a song about running away and falling in love with someone," the 21-year-olf London alt-pop goddess explained, "and it being really dangerous and bad for you but still amazing, romantic and wonderful. 'SuperLove' is the best drug and this song is about overdosing on it and falling in real deep." Charli added that the song was influenced by artists like Bow Wow Wow, The Waitresses and The Flying Lizards as well as "those Lolita-esque bratty French girls and other girl power heroines."
"SuperLove" is pure, unadulterated pop at its finest and doubles down on the luxurious alt-pop and drug metaphors of "True Romance" highlights. Charli has nailed everything that's great about modern pop music with this uptempo electro ditty, putting her contemporaries to shame. "Super Love" has a touch of the 90s to it, which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering Charli's affinity for the decade. Shiny and playful, Charli's kicked another goal with "SuperLove." And this one is all jangly and peppy, guitars intermingling with her glo-fi sonics and her rapid-fire singing style.
The vivid, disco-infused crazy-fun video was shot in Tokyo's Robot Restaurant by Charli's boyfriend Ryan Andrews. It features Charli and friends strut through Tokyo, hanging out and get into some mischievous activity that includes dancing with robots in a neon club/funhouse, all while dressed like the world's most stylish candystriper and even corralling motorcycle gangs at the end. It's an entertaining video with Charli's words describing a relationship that could get her into some trouble. "I Wanna fall into your superlove/Yeah my heart never wants it to stop, please save me/'Cause I never seem to get enough/you're the bullet and you're making me drop, please save me," she spits lines.
