Number 1 angel
Pop 2

"Number 1 Angel is a maybe mixtape, sorta free, but released by a voice that's constantly solving life's real problems with the imagined solutions of pop music. "I'm a dreamer," Charli reminds us. Pop is dream stuff for bodies".

"Charli has never been shy about collaborating and `Pop 2' is full of co-productions. All but two songs boast a featured artist (and the whole thing was made with PC Music's AG Cook), but there are no gratuitous cameos. Whether it's pop cult queen Carly Rae Jepsen forlornly breaking hearts on the shimmering `Backseat' or Korean-American singer Jay Park on the soft undulation of `Unlock It', everyone not only earns their place, but is heralded by Charli and AG too - the production shifts every time a new guest arrives on the scene, subtly giving them the space to do their own thing. Charli's second mixtape of the year isn't just about proving she's more than your average pop star, but about her settling into her role as innovator, celebrator, and curator supreme".

"Best New Music" -"Pop 2 - Charli XCX's latest mixtape is a vision of what pop music could be, the sound of an eclectic, hyperreal future where romantic love is fun but fucked and partying is an emotional refuge".

"The beats aren't as abrasive, her vocals are distended inways that are disorienting but not jarring. Most of the songs are about thosemoments before a relationship goes to the next level: These are still classicpop songs mostly about sex and cars, but the sexual yearning in the lyrics iscompounding the nostalgic yearning of the music".
