‘New Shapes’ by Charli XCX

The crooner recently dropped a spirited music video to go with the single

Charli XCX’s new single New Shapes is tailored to bring the house down. The number is the second single on Charlie’s fifth studio album Crash and features French singer-songwriter, Christine and the Queens, and the co-founder of the indie-pop band Chairlift, Caroline Polachek. The jazzy tune has garnered over three lakh views since its release!

The music video that dropped on November 12, is an ode to the I-Love-It singer’s upcoming talk show TV Heaven and also parodies sexist, late-night talk show hosts. The music video has been styled like a vibrant reel of the trio performing at a make-believe late-night show and captivates viewers till its final bow. The highlight of the clip, however, is YouTuber and comedian Benito Skinner’s appearance as a talk show host who portrays perfectly how sexism is often disguised in showbiz with a sprinkling of sass.
