I didn't realize Charli released an album in 2019 called Charli and I've listened to most of her other stuff... damn! i guess it was kinda a flop after all because i've never heard people talking about it!

yeah Charli, Lana and Lorde are all too different for it to actually be a legit comparison. Charli doesn't focus much on her lyrics but is more experimental with her production while Lana/Lorde are known as lyricists and their production is not as out there. i do not think the masses will tolerate experimental production which is why Charli has gotten kind of pigeon holed as an artist with a primarily gay audience while Lana and Lorde are more popular with the GP. also, coming from SE Asia where experimental production is tolerated even less than in the United States, I can say my friends living there know who Lana is (Lorde not as much but that's because she goes years without releasing music) but none of them know Charli.

i'll be honest i don't get it because i think Charli has a great career and is spending too much time focusing on what she doesn't have vs. what she does have. even if she's not getting huge hits, she has a loyal fanbase who actually BUYS her albums and attends her tours which is where the $$$ comes from! she's not in any danger of being dropped by her label, she can probably continue her career as long as she wants! like since people brought up the Camila comparison, on the surface it looks like Camila is more successful because of her huge hits (Havana etc) but Charli's last album Crash sold more than Camila's last album Familia and it's been ages since Camila last toured. i would say Charli's career is in a better place than Camila's.

but i guess Charli knows she's being a brat about it lol.

Charli is simply not satisfied cause she wants the validation, which granted I think it'll just make her feel empty if she gets to those heights because to me she's not built for the mainstream and everything that comes with it.

Camila at this point is clearly a singles artist. But I can see her gripe with Camilla cause she's clearly copping her style, so it probably does suck seeing someone else getting moderate popularity to more attention at something that you're more known for.

But I agree with you cause Charli is an interesting position cause like you said has the fanbase, the album sales and she's financially good cause she writes for other artists who songs do well so she's getting those residuals. But I get it....you always want a taste of that top spot.

I wish her well but lol she's gotta make more accessible pop music to achieve that. But she already did that with SUCKER and she only came off hating that album and didn't wanna promote it lol.

You to Charli:

Charli the album is mostly noise but it does have “Gone” and “Cross You Out” which are two of her best songs imo
