The Life, Style and Music of Charli XCX

A fully illustrated, complete introduction charting the rise of Charli XCX - from MySpace to first-ever warehouse performances to hit-packed albums like Sucker, Crash and, of course, the era-defining BRAT.

Description

Written by music journalist Charlotte Gunn, The Life, Style and Music of Charli XCX is a deep-dive into the music, styles, and influence of Charli. Complete with behind-the-scenes stories and incredible photos, chapters delve into her early musical inspirations to her collaborations with Troye Sivane and Billie Eilish. It also explores her inimitable lyrical vulnerability and the lockdown recording of the album How I'm Feeling Now, which resonated with a huge LGBTQ+ audience.

While nothing can compare to the energy of a Charli XCX gig, this book is the next best thing.
