Charli XCX said she’s about to “feed [us] new music for five months straight,” and the woman is not lying. The English pop princess released a collab with Lizzo, “Blame It On Your Love,” a few weeks ago, and a Spice Girls cover with Diplo and Herve Pagez yesterday. But Charli has already given us a taste of more new music to come.
French pop singer Christine And The Queens joined Charli onstage at Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona Thursday night. The duo performed a new song, called “Gone,” for lucky festivalgoers.

Charli and Christine are a match made in pop heaven. The two singers trade verses over a pounding synth beat, and the chorus explodes into a burst of catharsis. Even from the fan-shot video, you can tell the song is impeccably produced (as every Charli XCX song is), and I can’t wait to hear a proper studio version.
