New York – London-based singer/songwriter Charli XCX (aka Charlotte Aitchison) celebrates the success of two growing ‘song of the summer’ contenders – “Boom Clap” and Iggy Azalea “Fancy” (Ft. Charli XCX) and announces her upcoming North American headline fall tour. Dates get underway September 26th at The Social in Orlando, Florida and then travel through late October (see below).
“Boom Clap” – which was performed live last night on Late Night w/ Seth Meyers along with a performing this morning on NBC’s TODAY SHOW – has rocketed into the top 40 on Billboard’s “Hot 100,” marking Charli XCX’s top 40 debut as a lead artist. The first single from “THE FAULT IN OUR STARS – MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE” is also proving a sensation, earning over 3 million views and counting:
If that’s not enough, the Neon Gold/Atlantic recording artist premiered a new remix for “Boom Clap” from NYC pop duo ASTR, which premiered yesterday on the New York Times T Magazines, and can be streamed and shared HERE.
Charli XCX has quickly proven an unqualified global superstar. She made her first splash with 2011’s “Nuclear Seasons” and quickly unleashed an indelible string of singles, mixtapes, and videos, including “You’re The One” and “You (Ha Ha Ha).” “TRUE ROMANCE” – Charli’s IAMSOUND/Atlantic debut album – earned some of last year’s most rapturous reviews.
The upcoming tour sees Charli XCX continuing on her non-stop schedule, having already spent much of the past two years knocking out audiences both here and abroad with headline tours, support slots, and show-stealing festival appearances. Critical applause has also rained down, with The New York Times praising Charli’s “furious, catchy, electronic dance-pop songs about being a woman scorned” and Idolator hailing her as “freakishly energetic” and “unique.”
