Plastic pop princess Charli XCX is set to release her collaborative SOPHIE EP at the end of the week and has just released a new track from said upcoming EP in anticipation. Titled “Tropy” it’s a sticky banger that features what sounds a whole lot like a Pulp Fiction sample of Mia Wallace saying “I want that trophy.” The track premiered on Beats 1, where Charli announced her new Beats 1 radio show “The Candy Shop” which will air this Friday at 12PM PT/3PM ET/8PM UK.
Listen to “Trophy” above.
With all this wonderful Charli XCX news also comes the announcement of her new label Vroom Vroom Recordings and new signees RIVRS and CuckooLander. Charli released this statement about her new label and EP…
Vroom Vroom Recordings is my new, experimental pop label and it will combine my love for bubblegum pop with mystery and darkness. The artists coming up through it will be sharp, potent, deadly, and ultimately, will leave their mark on pop music. RIVRS and CuckooLander are two artists who have so much intelligence, pop sensibility and potential – they know what they want and both have great vision. That inspires me and it’s why I want to work with them. I’ve always been fascinated by shy and introvert people – it’s something that I am mostly not – and I feel both acts are in ways. It captivates me and sucks me in, and I think their music will do the same for others.
I’ve worked with SOPHIE on the new EP and what we create together speaks for itself. Sometimes we get aggressive, sometimes we get beautiful; he pushes me and I push him. I’m making beautiful party songs right now and this is just the start. The album goes to other places and I can’t wait for people to hear it. I feel the most creative I have in a long time and I couldn’t be more excited for the next chapter.
