Listen: Charli XCX – What I Like

London-based electro-popstress Charli XCX has dropped a new track ahead of debut longplayer next month.

‘What I Like’ – a sweeter and more restrained jam than we’re using to hearing from her – is taken from True Romance – which has a 15 April release – and dropped over on The FADER yesterday .

She’s back for a London show at The Old Blue Last on 17 April and tours in support of the new record through most of April and May in the UK, Europe and North America. Full dates after the track, which you can listen to below.
