After cowriting and appearing on Iggy Azalea’s hit “Fancy,” Charli XCX could have easily shipped out to Los Angeles to record Max Martin cast-offs forever. But instead, Charli began to construct her own little weird pop utopia from the ground up, turning to the squelchy, hyper-synthetic sounds of producers like A.G. Cook and SOPHIE. The Pop 2 mixtape, Charli’s best full-length to date, is the brilliant culmination of all that effort: a nonstop avant-garde party built for fembots and fog machines. Over the sound of her hissed “XCX” and “It’s Charli, baby” signatures, she pulls in multiple collaborators on each track, like the filth-loving rapper CupcakKe and the rising dance princess Kim Petras. Throughout, she solidifies her mastery of the strange, wonderful new pop world she continues to build. –Hazel Cills

在与Iggy Azalea共同演唱热门单曲《Fancy (奢侈)》之后， Charli XCX本可以轻松地前往洛杉矶录制Max Martin制作的热门唱片。但出人意料的是，Charli选择从零开始构建一个狭小而怪诞的流行乐乌托邦，并偏爱着A.G. Cook和SOPHIE这类制作人吱吱作响、超合成声音的风格。《Pop 2》音乐合集是Charli迄今为止最好的标准长度的唱片，是她所有努力创造的辉煌巅峰：这是一场为女机器人和烟雾机开办的永远进行时的前卫派对。在嘶嘶作响的“XCX”和“It’s Charli, baby”的签名声中，她在每首歌中都加入了多位合作者，比如满嘴跑火车的说唱歌手CupcakKe和正在崛起的舞蹈公主Kim Petras。在整个过程中，她对这个奇怪而美妙的新流行世界掌控得越来越得心应手，未来她也将继续下去。
