Charli XCX Wants to Run With the Big Dogs
Plus an ultra-rare hi-fi audio collage, a dispatch from a rising Memphis rap star, and deconstructed footwork meant to approximate the chaos of the timeline
Welcome to the latest installment of Five Albums, the weekly feature for paid Hearing Things subscribers in which we review a handful of new records catching our attention. As music journalists, the question we get most often from friends is how to stay on top of what’s happening now. This is our attempt to provide a practical answer.
Come to this week's Five Albums for Jill's thoughts on Charli's rock-soundtracked struggles between music, fashion, and film stardom; stay for albums powered by cello compositions, hi-fi field recordings, deconstructed footwork, and new-age Memphis hip-hop. Our range is staggering, if I do say so myself.
Gain access to and everything we do at Hearing Things—including podcasts, album reviews, and more—by signing up for our free 30-day trial. You will not regret it!
