Charli XCX

Charlotte Emma Aitchison, an Englishwoman born on August 2, 1992, began writing her first songs at age 14, adopting Charli XCX as her stage name. In 2008, she recorded an album titled 14, which was sold at concerts but never received an official release.

She continued to release singles and mixtapes. Her first official album, True Romance, came out in 2013 and was very well received by critics.

Associated with genres such as dance-pop, pop punk, electropop, and hyperpop, Charli XCX draws influence from artists like Siouxsie and the Banshees, Kate Bush, the Spice Girls, Britney Spears, Weezer, and the Ramones.

In June 2014, the singer released the single “Boom Clap,” a song that appeared on the soundtrack for the film The Fault in Our Stars and on her second studio album, Sucker, released in December of that same year. In 2017, she released two acclaimed mixtapes: Number 1 Angel and Pop 2.

Charli XCX released her third album, titled Charli, in September 2019. The album features collaborations with Sky Ferreira (“Cross You Out”) and Haim (“Warm”), among others. In May 2020, the singer released How I'm Feeling Now, an album produced in just six weeks during the COVID-19 pandemic. She returned in 2022 with Crash, which features collaborations with Christine and the Queens and Caroline Polachek on the track “New Shapes.” In 2024, she released another highly successful album, Brat.

In 2026, the artist released Wuthering Heights, the soundtrack to the film adaptation of the book Wuthering Heights (by Emily Brontë), directed by filmmaker Emerald Fennell. This album features collaborations with John Cale on the track “House” and Sky Ferreira on “Eyes of the World.” Also in 2026, she released Music, Fashion, Film, an album with a sound closer to rock. The cover features musician John Cale, fashion designer Marc Jacobs, and filmmaker Martin Scorsese.
