Charli XCX continues to channel ferocious pop-punk energy with “Breaking Up”, a new track from her upcoming sophomore album, Sucker. It’s definitely got the big, poppy hooks of “Boom Clap” and “Break the Rules”, and exudes the same kind of firecracker wit and attitude as “London Queen” and “Gold Coins”. The UK pop singer also leaves room for a few other influences, mixing some great New Wave grooves with sugar-coated bits of pseudo-noise rock. As far as break-up anthems go, it’s the sonic equivalent of simultaneously blowing a kiss and flipping the bird. Listen in below.
Sucker is due out December 16th via Asylum/Atlantic/Neon Gold.
