[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hyperpop princess Charli XCX<\/a> is announcing her new musical era with a bang! She recently released \u201cGood Ones,\u201d an 80s-inspired banger about letting \u201cthe good ones\u201d go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a marked change from the artist\u2019s previous offerings of hyperpop tracks. For those not in the know, hyperpop is \u201ca loosely-defined music movement and microgenre characterized by a maximalist or exaggerated take on popular music<\/span>. Artists tagged with the label typically integrate pop and avant-garde sensibilities, drawing on tropes from electronic, hip hop, and dance music\u201d (thank you, Wikipedia<\/a>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Basically, if the song sounds like alien EDM made with pots and pans, you\u2019re listening to hyperpop. Charli XCX was one of the early adopters of the sound and brought it to the mainstream. Even middle-of-the-road pop artists have started to experiment with the sound – Taylor Swift teamed up with longtime Charli XCX collaborator BJ Burton for <\/span>evermore<\/span><\/i>\u2019s \u201cclosure<\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With \u201cGood Ones,\u201d Charli XCX goes back to bigger pop sounds (see her excellent 2014 album <\/span>SUCKER<\/span><\/i><\/a>). The track features springy synths and crisp, drum machine beats. \u201cI want the bad ones, \u2018cause they\u2019re all I know \/\/ I always let the good ones go,\u201d she sing-songs in the irresistibile pre chorus.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a statement released about the song, the singer says<\/a>, \u201cThe first single of my new chapter embraces all that my life has to offer in today\u2019s world \u2013 fame, glamour, inner demons and global hits. \u2018Good Ones\u2019 was produced by Oscar Holter of Max Martin\u2019s Wolf Cousins entity, and laments my inability to keep hold of healthy relationships, instead being endlessly drawn back to the dysfunctional and toxic.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The song\u2019s release was also accompanied by a cinematic music video that sees the singer mourning a lost love by dancing on top of their coffin. Classic Charli XCX.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moving towards a mainstream pop sound shouldn\u2019t be groundbreaking, but with an artist like Charli XCX, who constantly pushes boundaries, it\u2019s a surprising – but not unwelcome – move. I\u2019m looking forward to hearing more from everyone\u2019s favorite pop rebel!<\/span><\/p>\n
