Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Mixtape Review: Charli XCX – Number 1 Angel Charli XCX’s new mixtape will more than satisfy fans eagerly awaiting her third album, writes Olivia Firth Tuesday 14 March 2017 PHOTO: Album artwork Rating: ★★★★☆ It’s been a long time since we heard a Charli XCX mixtape, and this collection of ten songs will go a long way to satisfy fans of the alt-pop singer. Well-known for her features on singles Iggy Azalea’s ‘Fancy’ and Icona Pop’s ‘I Love It’, Charli XCX has had a hard time recently with her latest single peaking at number 29, but Number 1 Angel proves she’s back on top form and ready to have another stab at stardom. Opening with ‘Dreamer’, a Rihanna-esque banger that sees Charli’s vocals simmer along a bed of synth beats and distorted drums, it is clear to see that the singer’s bubblegum-pop stage is over. There are no http://nouse.co.uk/2017/03/14/mixtape-review-charli-xcx-number-1-angel Archived 11 Dec 2018 12:10:58 Nouse Web Archives Mixtape Review: Charli XCX – Number 1 Angel Page 2 of 3 ‘Break the Rules’ style tracks here; only alt-pop tinged records that blend seamlessly into one another. There is the exception of ‘White Roses’, which appears somewhat lacklustre, especially when placed around huge potential singles, ‘ILY2’ and ‘Roll with Me. Continuing through the mixtape, fans will notice a vibe reminiscent of Charli’s 2013 debut True Romance; the album that brought her critical acclaim but little chart success. This mixtape is unlikely to bring her the wider audience her label likely craves, but it provides a great look into the mind of the Cambridge born singer, and an insight into what her third album will bring. Overall, the album is an attempt at experimentation, an attitude-filled algorithm that will more than satisfy Charli’s dedicated fan-base. Charli XCX is back, and I can’t wait to hear more from one of the country’s best current songwriters, and soon! Most Read Discussed 1. Review: Little Mix – LM5 2.

    SUPERLOVE: A THOUSAND MYSTIC JEWELS FROM A SPIRITUAL MEGATREND by Richard Shining Thunder Francis Copyright 2002 by Love Ministries, Inc. Originally, Copyright 1995 by Love Ministries, Inc. www.loveministries.org [email protected] ii INFORMATION PAGE This book is part of a non-sectarian, non-denominational unaffiliated movement called the universal love movement. It is a modern attempt to explain and to educate people in the way of mystical illumination. This book was produced by: Love Ministries, Inc. www.loveministries.org email: [email protected] If you have any questions regarding it or its subject matter, please do not hesitate to drop the author an “enote” at either address. The author of this book is also author of Love Is God: the Jehovah-myth, the Mystic God, and the Mystery of Suffering, (and many other publications). Love Is God explores the explosively controversial subject of the God of Gnostic or mystical Christianity as con- trasted with the ancient Jehovah-myth, still current in most churches and explanations of Christianity. Francis is also the author of Jehovah Goodbye: the New Theism of Love, which is a sequel to Love Is God and expands in greater detail on its historic and so- ciocultural themes. Francis is also the author of Tao Now: A New Rendition of "The Way of Virtue" by the master Lao Tzu. He has also written Jehovah Lives In Brooklyn, a thorough and objec- tive psychosocial study of Jehovah's Witnesses. He is the author of Luminous Ecstasies and Passions: Journeys Into Afterlife.
