TRUE ROMANCE out April 16Th Angel-Pop Superstar Charli XCX Is Quickly Proving an Unqualified Phenomenon by Her Edgy, Yet Addictive Approach TRUE ROMANCE out April 16th Angel-pop superstar Charli XCX is quickly proving an unqualified phenomenon by her edgy, yet addictive approach. Since her first critically-acclaimed track, “Nuclear Seasons” in 2011, London-based Charlotte Aitchinson co-wrote and is featured on Icona Pop’s smash “I Love It” (now RIAA certified GOLD) and has released a plethora of singles, mixtapes, and psychedelic pop culture collage videos; including her single, “You (Ha Ha Ha)” which has led to more acclaim from The New York Times to Pitchfork to Rolling Stone, calling her one of the “hottest synth- pop acts” of the year. BILLBOARD April 2013 “Charli In Charge” “Though the album dabbles in goth, dream pop and new wave elements, Charli XCX prefers to describe her music as “angel pop,” a term that encompasses her blend of ethereal sounds and hipster samples of acts…” - Billboard “Her rhymes – all street swagger and steamy gothic heartache – flash like low-rent neon. The effect can be breathtaking… ‘True Romance’ is the pop – album equivalent of a wicked Tumblr.” - Rolling Stone V – Winter 2012/2013 “Girls of Now” Issue V– Fall 2012 “The Youth Quake” Issue DETAILS February 2013 FOAM April 2013 BULLET Spring 2012 FLAUNT– Issue123 Exclusive premiere of Charli XCX’s “True Romance” via Pitchfork ADVANCED! “Charli XCX has established herself as a face to watch in the indie-pop realm: tracks like "Nuclear Seasons," "You're The One" and the recently released "You (Ha Ha Ha)" demonstrate an intrinsic understanding of arresting pop arrangements.” - Billboard “Charli XCX has a vocal maturity that outshines many more seasoned singers, crafting songs that are alternately gorgeous, anthemic, throbbing and occasionally weird, with soaring vocals and swelling choruses that sweep you up in their melodies.” - TIME “Charli XCX performed like a pop star already headlining arenas” - Rolling Stone Check out some of the latest buzz from SXSW “Charli XCX's hair tossing is award-worthy” “The b-girl bouillabaisse and on- — SPIN stage aerobics of Charli XCX would “She never stopped engaging the crowd, her make Neneh Cherry proud.” hips kept moving, and she was jumping around — Wired with the boundless amount of energy that I vaguely remember having as a 20 year old.

The UK electro-pop artist has an impressively versatile voice and a knack for writing catchy but not cloying songs that are effervescent enough to remind you why the genre is called “pop” in the first place. Think more Ladytron and less Lady Gaga. Plus, it turns out she’s an incredible songwriter, too. The tune she wrote for Icona Pop, “I Love It,” has catapulted both artists to new levels of fame after the song was featured on Girls.” – Vice’s NOISEY “The festival included musicians aiming for the Top 10 like Charli XCX, an English songwriter with furious, catchy, electronic dance-pop songs about being a woman scorned…” - The New York Times SXSW Features & Interviews SXSW Live Coverage Pitchfork Blog Coverage “It's likely that the next time you have a good time, it's [Charli’s] music that will be soundtracking the night.” - NYLON “I’ve always wanted to write pop music.

    An undiscovered island. An epic journey. An illustrious ship. Known just by its name and its logo, GALANTIS could be all or none of these things. A Google search only turns up empty websites and social pages, and mention of a one-off A-Trak collaboration. Is it beats? Art? Something else entirely? At the most basic level, GALANTIS is two friends making music together. The fact that they’re Christian “Bloodshy” Karlsson of Miike Snow and Linus Eklow, aka Style of Eye, is what changes the plot. The accomplished duo’s groundbreaking work as GALANTIS destroys current electronic dance music tropes, demonstrating that emotion and musicianship can indeed coexist with what Eklow calls “a really really big kind of vibe.” “GALANTIS is about challenging, not following.” says Karlsson. Karlsson should know about shaking things up. As half of production duo Bloodshy & Avant, he reinvented pop divas like Madonna, Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue in the early 2000s. He co-wrote and produced Spears’ stunning, career-changing single “Toxic” to the tune of a 2005 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. Since then he’s been breaking more ground as one-third of mysterious, jackalobe-branded band Miike Snow. The trio’s two albums, 2009’s self-titled debut and 2011’s Happy To You, fuse the warm pulse of dance music with inspired songcraft, spanning rock, indie, pop and soul. And they recreated that special synthesis live, playing over 300 shows, including big stages like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Ultra Music Festival. As Style of Eye, Eklow has cut his own path through the wilds of electronic music for the last decade, defying genre and releasing work on a diverse swath of labels including of- the-moment EDM purveyors like Fool’s Gold, OWSLA and Refune; and underground stalwarts like Classic, Dirtybird and Pickadoll.

  • Rock Music Is a Genre of Popular Music That Entered the Mainstream in the 1950S
    Rock music is a genre of popular music that entered the mainstream in the 1950s. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s rock and roll, rhythm and blues, country music and also drew on folk music, jazz and classical music. The sound of rock often revolves around the electric guitar, a back beat laid down by a rhythm section of electric bass guitar, drums, and keyboard instruments such as Hammond organ, piano, or, since the 1970s, synthesizers. Along with the guitar or keyboards, saxophone and blues-style harmonica are sometimes used as soloing instruments. In its "purest form", it "has three chords, a strong, insistent back beat, and a catchy melody."[1] In the late 1960s and early 1970s, rock music developed different subgenres. When it was blended with folk music it created folk rock, with blues to create blues-rock and with jazz, to create jazz-rock fusion. In the 1970s, rock incorporated influences from soul, funk, and Latin music. Also in the 1970s, rock developed a number of subgenres, such as soft rock, glam rock, heavy metal, hard rock, progressive rock, and punk rock. Rock subgenres that emerged in the 1980s included new wave, hardcore punk and alternative rock. In the 1990s, rock subgenres included grunge, Britpop, indie rock, and nu metal. A group of musicians specializing in rock music is called a rock band or rock group. Many rock groups consist of an electric guitarist, lead singer, bass guitarist, and a drummer, forming a quartet. Some groups omit one or more of these roles or utilize a lead singer who plays an instrument while singing, sometimes forming a trio or duo; others include additional musicians such as one or two rhythm guitarists or a keyboardist.
