Charli XCX - Sucker

Recommended by Bex:

Following collaborations with Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora, not to mention a big solo hit with 'Boom Clap', Charli XCX has been catapulted into the mainstream. And it's about time, as she had been gnawing at its edges, full of infectious, self-penned songs for no little while.

This is her third album overall, and the first that will really engage with a sizeable audience, but its maker hasn't compromised an inch. Sucker finds that same, singular performer rewriting the rules entirely, never mind breaking any, and beating pop at its own game.

Listen to the excellent predecessor, True Romance, in full here.
