Charli XCX Likes The Inherent Danger Of Crash
By Konstantina Buhalis Sashaying into the MTV studio after an afternoon at 30 Rock preparing for her recent Saturday Night Live performance, Charli XCX takes the room by storm. In a black sleeveless dress, with her hair curled and down, and the most incredible set of nails adorned with fake pearls that match her rhinestone-dotted eye makeup, she is the definition of star power. For almost a decade, the artist born Charlotte Emma Aitchison has stood on the precipice of superstardom. She co-wrote two tracks that quickly became part of the pop lexicon and dominated in the early 2010s — Icona Pop’s “I Love It” and Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” — and with the world at her feet after her first two albums, 2013’s True Romance and 2014’s Sucker, Charli took a step back. She struck out on her own, partneri...

Fireboy DML: March R&B/Hip-Hop Rookie of the Month
Within the first three months of 2022, Fireboy DML has already worked with household-name artists Ed Sheeran and Madonna. But there’s one collaborator that made the 26-year-old Afrobeats artist realize he was destined for superstardom: Wande Coal. The renowned Nigerian vocalist came together with the up-and-comer on “Spell” from Fireboy’s 2020 sophomore album Apollo, a cross-generational combination of Wande and Fireboy’s enchanting falsettos backed by Pheelz’s feel-good production perfect to catch a late-night vibe to. It’s more upbeat and pop-leaning than Fireboy’s typical slow-burning, soul-baring fusion of Afrobeats and R&B, which he’s branded as his own “Afro-Life” sound.
