Charli XCX Drops 'POP 2' Mixtape Featuring Carly Rae Jepsen and More

The follow-up to 'Number 1 Angel' goes even harder...

Charli XCX has done it again.

The pop-bending starlet released a brand new mixtape,'POP 2', today after announcing it just over a week ago and it's absolutely insane.

With assistance from Carly Rae Jepsen, CupcakKe, Tove Lo and many more, she twists the bubblegum rave sound of'Number 1 Angel'to new extremes on the bold collection.

Opening with the dreamy '80s-esque 'Backseat', an intimate duet with Carly Rae Jepsen, things only get grimier as the set goes on, with the brashy bangers 'Femmebot' and 'Delicious' being twostandouts.

'POP2'is jam-packed with collaborations as only two of the 10 tracks are solo efforts, although thanks to Charli's excellent curation skills all appearances contribute to the songs rather than being unnecessary.

In fact, Pabllo Vittar's climatic verse on 'I Got It' and Mykki Blanco's fiery slot on 'Femmebot' are both major highlights, while Charli shines throughout as the driving force of it all.

Some might think that you'd struggle to make two equally interesting mixtapes in one year but'Pop 2'proves once again that Charli isn't your average pop star.

'Number 1 Angel'is one of our favourite releases of the year and we reckon thisis going to become a staple for the year ahead.

This will definitely keep us going until that long-awaited third album comes...
