Charli XCX – True Romance (Asylum)

Charli XCX wrote “I Love It” for Icona Pop, though she could’ve easily kept it for herself judging by this album full of infectious pop songs. Her sound fits right in line with other recent UK pop star/electro-DJ hybrids like Katy B and AlunaGeorge. Half the album is regrettably not FCC-clean, but the songs that made it through come highly recommended. – Zach Shealy, 8/22/13
