New Music: Charli XCX - SUPER ULTRA [Mixtape]

Before the official release of her mixtape, Charli XCX gave the first taste of the music with "Cloud Aura" featuring Brooke Candy. Super Ultra. Now, the mixtape "Super Ultra" has arrived and it features eight tracks. It includes a remix to How to Dress Well's "Cold Nites and new original songs with production from Baths, Sinjin Hawke, Jakwob and more.

"Making it was an intense experience for me coz I basically wrote the whole thing whilst I was driving around in a car in Poland. I was only there for two days so everything is totally raw. All the songs are about love. Sometimes it’s stupid love and sometimes it’s heartbreaking love. It’s about being confused. In particular, GLOW is a really emotional song for me. I think I had my first proper breakdown when I wrote that song. I cried a lot."

"I cried a lot whilst making this mixtape, which is funny because some of the songs seem quite light-hearted and a bit… I dunno… Gangster. To me they’re all sad songs in some way though. Some songs were inspired by moments in movies – like DANCE 4 U was inspired by the opening scene of Planet Terror, where Rose McGowan does the pole dance. I think that’s a really sad and desperate scene. It makes me cry when I watch it".

"I guess that’s all just personal shit though. I don’t want people to be sad when they listen to SUPER ULTA… I want them to be happy, and I want them to dance. No one dances in this town anymore".
