The Bounce: Charli XCX

Honing her commanding vocals, ear for catchy yet experimental electronica, and kinetic stage presence over the past few years, 20-year-old Charli XCX is already a seasoned vet. In between stints touring in support of Coldplay both here and abroad, the English singer caught up with Life + Times for an intimate performance of “Nuclear Seasons” and Gold Panda‘s “You” at North Star Bar in Philly, in anticipation of her official debut album next year.
