Charli XCX recently hit the stage at New York's Webster Hall and during her encore performance, she rapped Iggy Azalea's verses from "Fancy." The performance followed the release of new music from her upcoming album Sucker.
Charli's live rendition was high energy as she danced across the stage and engaged the crowd. In fact, the crowd was so into her performance, they chanted "p---y power" on command.
As noted by Billboard, Charli's set also included Icona Pop's "I Love It," which she also wrote and guested on. She also performed a covered Barrett Strong's "Money (That's What I Want)," which was famously covered by The Beatles.
Earlier this week, Charli XCX released her new wave, Ramones-inspired song "London Queen." The song serves as the third single from Sucker following "Boom Clap" and "Break the Rules."
In a series of tweets sent out last month, Charli assured fans that Sucker is complete but revealed the release date had been pushed back.
I'm overwhelmed by the love for boom clap & the support from all u angels, I need to put the date back so I can launch the album properly...it's all COOL nothing's WRONG the albums DONE but it's just no one really knew boom clap would do as well as it's doing....(i had no idea boom clap would hang about for so long... It's mind blowing and cool so thank u for that!)
