    Just a mess... nothing different and a lot of autotune... only 4 songs are saved just to hear it. Those are: 1999 (feat. Troye Sivan), Gone (feat. Charlie and the Queens), Cross You Out (feat. Sky Ferreira) & Blame It On Your Love (feat. Lizzo). The others just are a waste of time. Im a little bit disappointed.

    I love her, but she thinks that she saved pop music with this album you're a great artist but you are not the greatest one. The only who is artistic and successful is Adele honey she writes her own songs.

    The sound of the album sounds strange and maybe empty but in some ways Charlie doesn't let me down. Apparently, something makes me connected to the album, the lack of cohesion bothers me a lot and makes me listen a few times on my playlist and difficult to be evaluated.

    Despite powerful collaborations, I feel like the end result was gimmicky and unmemorable. With the only exception of "Gone" with Christine and the Queens, that song is perfection

    The total presumption and the high egocentrism present in Charli make this album flow with the greatest pop current. However, poor performance has been shown for the overproduction expected. Also, the album is turning from futuristic sounds to boring and very generic that blur the vision of Charli.

    I really think Charli is talented person but her new stuff are so hard to listen...I only like three songs!

    It’s a party album, which means it’s utopian. It’s a solo album, which means it’s rebooting. “Next Level Charli” doesn’t sound like a version we’ve never heard before; it sounds like the very same, not even accelerated but integrated, at 100% synchronization rate.

    It often feels as if Aitchison's nasal croon and counter-intuitive toplines are the least interesting bits of her own project. [Nov 2019, p.116]

    The good news is that her songwriting is stronger than ever. Along with co-executive producer A.G. Cook, Charli XCX has put together a delightful album of high-end pop confections. Charli packs in plenty of wow and proves to be more than worth the wait.
