Charli XCX Performs With Vampire Weekend Star On Letterman
. With a little help from Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij--who co-wrote the closing track from Charli's latest album, Sucker--the British pop-tart held her own atop a white baby grand for her performance. We're talking Michelle Pfeiffer in the Fabulous Baker Boys kind of holding it down. In silver platforms, nonetheless. When Charli spoke with Radio.com she said "Need Ur Love" was "inspired by a lot of ye-ye pop, which is like '60s French girls. So like Sylvie Vartan, Brigitte Bardot, France Gall, people like that." "I really like the kind of shout-y, childlike vocals that they did," she explained. "When I first started speaking to Rostam [Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend], those were the references that I gave him. We took a trip to Sweden together to work in this strange, empty hotel, which was kind of like The Shining. That's where we wrote "Need Ur Love." Charli also talked about working with Batmanglij saying, "He's become a great friend of mine. I just love him. He's the most talented person ever. I love that song a lot." Watch the performance here.
