Charli XCX is sonic science fiction. Delightfully robotic and whimsically spacy, she got the best grasp of where she was going, and could go, on 2017’s?Pop 2?mixtape. Tucked at the end is “Track 10,” which, after a production swap and a Lizzo feature, became her blaring 2019 single “Blame It On Your Love.” But in its relatively spare original form, the song relies not on bass drops but rather a heavily accumulating chorus that loops and loops, burrowing its way deeper into the mind and limbs with each rotation. At her best, which she is here, Charli XCX cracks a key pop music code: doing as much with as little language as possible. The chorus of “Track 10” consumes and consumes, until it ends, and the listener can’t remember living in a world before they heard it. –Hanif Abdurraqib

Charli XCX是一部音樂科幻小說。在2017年的《Pop 2》混音帶中，在春風(fēng)得意的機器感和異想天開的浩瀚感中，她精確掌控著自己的方向盤，知曉自己未來的方向與潛力。混音專輯的收尾曲是“Track 10”，之后經(jīng)重新制作和客座歌手Lizzo的助陣，成為她2019年的聒噪單曲?“Blame It On Your Love”。但在更簡約的原曲中，歌曲并不依賴下墜的貝斯，而是依靠大量堆砌反復(fù)吟唱的副歌支撐起來，每一次循環(huán)都是肉體和心靈上的升華。Charli XCX在創(chuàng)作巔峰的時候，也就是這首歌，破解出一個關(guān)鍵的流行密碼：用最少的語言做出最好的效果?！癟rack 10”的副歌盤旋又盤旋，直至消失殆盡。聽眾在聽到這首歌后才恍然大悟自己原來置身于一顆龐大的星球。?–Hanif Abdurraqib
