Can’t stop thinking about boys?

.

British pop princess Charli XCX dropped the music video to her new single Boys this week and all I can say is, it’s pretty much just boys boys boys. The track serves as the second single, after the release of After the Afterparty, for her upcoming third studio album set to be released later this year.

Charli’s new track explores similarities with past hits Break the Rules and Famous as she continues to stick to her retro instrumentals and lyrics. Her talent is quite refreshing as the artist continuously manages to reinvent herself, but has the capabilities to stay true to the same vibe she’s portraying throughout her career.

“But I was busy thinkin’ bout boys, boys, boys”

.

In this new track, Charli takes a schoolgirl obsessed approach as she sings about needing different boys on different days, yearning for them all. Although the artist is well known for her feminist attitude, she drops the girls in this track as she’s too busy thinking about boys to call her ladies back. Her voice remains quite gentle throughout the entire song, which is quite soothing to listen to. The repetition of certain lyrics in the song, especially the word Boys, is definitely a strategic factor that will ensure you get this song stuck in your head.

The track explores themes of gender, love and lust. In the music video, also directed by Charli, she uses a series of famous men from around the world to participate in comedic and seductive scenarios, truly capturing the vision of the musician’s song. Amongst the many famous faces are Joe Jonas, Cameron Dallas and Panic! at the Disco’s Brendon Urie. This fresh new track and tactical music video has definitely put the starlet back on the map. As the song is very pleasing and laidback to listen to, I’m sure we will be seeing Charli climb the charts with this firecracker hit in no time.
