She is the force behind the platinum hits “Boom Clap”, “Break The Rules” and “After The Afterparty”; and has collaborated on massive millennial hits with Icona Pop, “I Love It”, Iggy Azalea, “Fancy” and David Guetta “Dirty Sexy Money”.
Charli’s current trap-infused track, “5 In The Morning”, entered playlists across the world and exceeded six million streams in just a few weeks from release.
New Zealand duo Broods, comprised of siblings Georgia and Caleb Nott, released their latest single “Peach” (via Island Records Australia) in August; the first track to be lifted from their third album which is expected in early 2019.

About Broods
Broods released their new single “Peach” on August 7 via Island Records Australia. Premiered on triple J breakfast, the song’s kaleidoscopic sonic palette embraces buzzing guitar tones and choir-like harmonies along with woozy rhythms and intricate piano work while Georgia laments “I’m high and I’m low. No control. But everything looking peach now.” They explain: “As artists, you feel things at a much more extreme level than people who probably don’t spend most of their time inside their own heads. ‘Peach’ is about feeling all over the place all the time, and then celebrating those moments when everything feels awesome.”
