Today, Charli XCX broadcast a radio show on Beats 1, where she filled in for Julie Adenuga. During the show, Charli played tracks from Diplo, the Sex Pistols, Skepta, and others, and shared “Vroom Vroom”, her collaboration with Sophie (she also revealed that she’d love to get Paris Hilton for the music video). Listen to the new song above.
Later, Charli interviewed Pussy Riot‘s Nadya Tolokonnikova over the phone. The two discussed “bad feminism,” cosmetics, and the likes of Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus. Before she signed off, Tolokonnikova offered a brief message – “Follow your ideas and don’t be afraid” – and requested Suicide’s “Ghost Rider”, which XCX promptly played. Watch a brief clip of the interview below. Update (10/20, 8:22 p.m.): Listen to the full interview below.
