Blasting with references to her well-deserved public recognition, ‘Von Dutch’ is a pop-infused spell in the club. Rare, gripping and addictive. To usher her upcoming studio album ‘Brat’, this single acts as the taster-session to what we anticipate to be a blend of fantasy-realm club bangers. Charli’s originality is in a league of its own, with lyrics like “It’s alright to just admit that I’m the fantasy” remaining a statement strong enough to plaster all over the function.
Whether rustling in the airport, or quietly breakdancing in the club bathroom, Von Dutch provides the fuel to your fire. And the magician behind Von Dutch is well aware of her accolades, waving a dismissive hand to any audience that tries to box her in any one category – as evident with the merging of genres, a talent present since her ‘08 Myspace rave tunes. Charli XCX knows her audience and she knows how to allure them over and over again.
Complete with a mind-boggling – yet fashionably punk – thriller video, Charli transports us to a high-speed fight with all the chase and excitement of the supporting sounds. Ripped clothes, a subversive basic statement, with a wild salute to Charli’s effortless beauty even whilst spitting at the camera. Raging in the world of a pop-princess sits with us as a thought we pine for, making the anticipation for ‘Brat’ – her 6th album – a whirlwind of excitement.
