Hear 3 Tracks From Charli XCX’s New Mixtape Number 1 Angel

By Pranav Trewn

Charli XCX first teased her new mixtape at the end of January, and today she announced that the project will drop at the end of the week. Number 1 Angel follows last year’s collaborative EP with SOPHIE, Vroom Vroom, and Charli just debuted three songs off the album on MistaJam’s BBC Radio 1 show. “3 AM (Pull Up)” is a sugary-but-sturdy synth-pop single with MØ. “Dreamer” is the mixtape’s trunk-rattling opening track and features Starrah and RAYE, the latter of whom co-wrote last year’s infectious “After The Afterparty.” While she’s previously performed both of those singles live, “Lipgloss” is a completely unheard cut that features an excellent and expectedly foul-mouthed verse from Chicago’s CupcakKe. All three are more contemporary offerings from the brash songwriter, and are miles away from the shout-along pop of Sucker. You can listen to them below at 3:50, 9:19, and 16:22, respectively.

Number 1 Angel is out 3/10.
