Charli XCX has returned with "After The Afterparty", her new collaboration with producer SOPHIE and rapper Lil Yachty.
"After The Afterparty" is a return to XCX's pop roots, with gigantic to-the-rafters vocals and bittersweet hooks filtered through twinkly production. It's a modern-day partner for Lesley Gore's '60s hit "It's My Party".
The new single follows her ambitious VROOM VROOM EP, also with PC Music's SOPHIE.
"After The Afterparty" is the first taste of XCX's upcoming third record - are we going to see Sucker's follow up before the end of the year?
