I’ve knocked Charli XCX down a few times, but I’m slowly starting to come around, and I must admit her debut album True Romance (iTunes) is actually quite decent. Now she’s joined forces with one of my favorite people ever, Marina and the Diamonds, on a tasty new duet called “Just Desserts,” which you can listen to below and download it here for free! The girls are also heading out on a North American tour together, dates are listed below, I’ll definitely be seeing Charli and Marina when they land in Los Angeles on May 11th, I can’t wait, it will be my fifth time seeing Marina perform live!
Good pals Marina and The Diamonds and Charli XCX premiere a much anticipated collaboration “Just Desserts” in support of their upcoming North American tour kicking off May 6th in San Francisco, CA. This synth pop track is empowering and relatable as we have all felt how sweet revenge tastes. Like they say, “Baby revenge is sweet … it feels so good when the show is on the other foot.”
