    Don't know why this made me so emotional? It's just so, relatable. So real, so honest. I'm in my late twenties, and sometimes it's hard to find people to relate to who doesn't feel like they figured it all out already. But Charli really showed a vulnerable side here, and I love her for that. Can't wait for the new album

    love the conversation, but hearing her speak about Sophie at the end really got to me... there's nothing to think twice about: we'll never have another Sophie. We can mourn her, but her message, art, and energy will be here forever.... and that's just so beautiful. A.G. has talked about how he can summon Sophie in his mind for conversation and advice (a memory-reflection of her), so it was really amazing hearing Charli echo his words: "what would Sophie think about this?" She's still with them & she's still with us too, even if she's not in our world....

    Zane Lowe is such a great interviewer. The way he makes artists feel listened to and validated is unparalleled compared to any late night talk show host. Almost every artist he talks to likes him for a reason. You can tell he genuinely cares about artists and wants them to feel heard and understood as people and not just an artist.

She brought up a good point earlier in the interview, every mainstream pop artist is starting to be genre bendy and experimental almost to the point where it’s become the new norm. What’s gunna happen within a year from now when all the major pop girls start sounding like her or Arca for example.
