Charli XCX Goes Retro With New Song London Queen

10/07/2014
. (Radio.com) Charli XCX has released "London Queen," a punky new wave track from her upcoming album SUCKER, available Dec. 16. Unlike many of her songs, "London Queen" came to the singer nearly complete by producer Justin Raisen, an occasional collaborator to Charli as well as Sky Ferreira, Tegan and Sara and Theophilus London.

Fans that pre-order Sucker are awarded free instant downloads of previously released singles "Break the Rules" and Boom Clap." Originally slated for Oct. 21, Neon Gold/Atlantic Records pushed back the album's release date to to Dec. 16 in order to allow "Boom Clap" to run its course.

Currently at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, the song's unexpected success began after radio programmers heard it in The Fault In Our Stars' film score and began adding the song to their playlists, quickly shooting it up the charts.

"I feel like I was doubted for a really long time and also kind of underrated," the 22-year-old told Rolling Stone of her recent success. Check out the new song here.
