CHARLI XCX - YOU’RE THE ONE
[8.40]Katherine St Asaph: Charli XCX understands that infatuation’s as much about giddy twitterpation as sheer terror. That’s why the synths patrol like searchlights in a dystopia, why Charli’s every note is clipped, as if she’s trying to tamp down her hyperventilation, and why the chorus is buoyant, the melody and strings and cascading-waterfall effect and love-note lyrics trying to soar over one another, but also a little like admitting defeat — those grim sounds haven’t actually disappeared. Fuck “Call Me Maybe,” rendered useless by “all the other boys try to chase me.” This is the crush song of the decade.
[10]Yes: SHOTS FIRED. (“Call Me Maybe” has pretty much plateaued at [7] for me.)
Contrarianism! Charli XCX : fall/winter :: Carly Rae Jepsen : spring/summer.

I would give the crush song honors to “Okay Cupid” — if not for the decade, at least for the year. But this is...
