Charli XCX came to global attention following the release of I Don’t Care, a hit for Swedish duo Icona Pop, which she wrote and performed on, and for which she felt she didn’t receive due credit. She’s just released Sucker, an album of breezy, anthemic and pretty blunt pop songs. Emma Smith talked to Charli XCX ahead of her Auckland show, and asked about her roots, as a 14 year old in the East London Rave Scene.
