    Crash is a terrifically structured album, designed to get you up and shimmying off the lockdown pounds as tracks slot sleekly together. ... Crash is a top-down, foot-down trip.

    She once again explores new ventures, crafting a pop album that celebrates the old classics as well as the new, and cements her status as a true pop trailblazer.

    So, whether she means “Crash,” as some sort of elaborate art joke or her most direct-ever (potentially) hit-filled work, Charl XCX is going out from her longtime label with a bang.

    Crash, while certainly not for everyone (what is?), is Charli XCX’s own translation of wounds—ahead of its time yet delivered somehow at the appropriate moment.

    It’s not her discography’s lowest point, but it is her first misstep. When Charli achieves the perfect confluence of what she loves about pop music, and what we love about her music, it soars, creating some of her finest material to date. But when that balance is not achieved, the songs can feel generic or reductive.

    Though Charli’s latest jettisons some of the sonic adventurousness of her past releases, it still finds the singer workshopping the reckless abandon of her persona.

    Overall, CRASH’s crystal clear production and iron-clad writing has all of the force behind it to propel the album into the stratosphere. But instead of putting the pedal to the metal in pursuit of a high camp sound, it stays in the slow lane.

    La forma en que Charli se involucra de lleno en cada trabajo que hace, simplemente brillante, pop en su máximo esplendor, bops y baladas pop aLa forma en que Charli se involucra de lleno en cada trabajo que hace, simplemente brillante, pop en su máximo esplendor, bops y baladas pop a los 80', jugando siempre con los sintetizadores, autotune, mezclando todo su mundo para dar un increíble álbum.
    La intensidad con la que canta, su propósito de ser una verdadera estrella pop en este su último álbum con su sello discográfico.
    No hay manera de describir esta joya pop creada por Charli XCX en este 2022.

    Most innovative Pop record in the decade. She has reconstructed what Pop artists should be sounding like; a blueprint for this era.

    No me ha impresionado nada la verdad, tiene talento pero este álbum no creo que merezca la pena.
