Charli XCX has an LP coming up (Music, Fashion, Film, slated to be released on July 24) and, judging from its already-released songs, the project has a healthy dose of the introspective lyricism that helped cement its predecessor, Brat, as an instant smash.
Charli XCX, legally known as Charlotte Emma Aitchison, discussed her biracial background on a fresh episode of the Nicky At Night podcast hosted by Nicky Reardon. A lyric on recent single "SS26" mentions that her "...heritage could give me quite the USP" (Unique Selling Proposition).
"I feel like there is this world where I could really play that up a lot," the singer explained. "It doesn’t come natural to me, probably because of the way that I engage with being a mixed person.
"I didn't really feel like I belonged in either side of my family," she added, noting that she hung out with the Indian side of her family on weekends while attending "school with a bunch of white girls." Charli XCX was raised in the English county of Essex by a Scottish father and Indian mother.
