Pop Futurist Charli XCX Releases New Song GONE feat. Christine and the Queens

Iconic pop futurist Charli XCX enlists French pop phenomenon Christine and the Queens to release a perfect pop harmony titled "Gone" today with an electrifying new music video - from XCX's much anticipated forthcoming third studio album "Charli" out on September 13th via Atlantic Records.

"Gone" is a dynamic, pulsating and hard-hitting ode to the complexities of falling prey to others' opinions. The video features XCX and Chris intensely bound to opposite ends of a car; which sees Chris free the women from their ties, leading the pair to reunite in an explosive and charged performance - following their live reveal at Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona.

The art of collaboration is at the heart of the album, a verified savior of pop, Charli seamlessly binds musical genres from the vast pop spectrum. With Executive Production by Charli XCX and A. G. Cook, collaborators include Lizzo, Christine and the Queens, Haim, Troye Sivan, Brooke Candy, CupcakKe, Big Freedia, Sky Ferreira, Clairo and Yaeji. Charli teamed with AR makeup artist Ines Alpha to design her artworks with a goal of dismantling classic beauty ideals, a pairing which resulted in her striking album cover.

Multi-award-winning artist Charli XCX has accrued two Billboard Music Awards, a YouTube Music Award, two Sesac 'Songwriter of the Year' Awards, plus nominations at the Grammys, BRIT Awards and MTV EMA's. As trailblazer behind the multi-platinum and global No.1's "Fancy", "I Love It" and the hit "Boom Clap", Charli has also released the critically-acclaimed mixtapes 'Number 1 Angel' and 'Pop 2', and released her prolific summer crush anthem "Boys" and "1999 featuring Troye Sivan". This year Charli attended the Met Gala as a special guest of Vogue, and performed for the amFAR Gala at the Cannes Film Festival.
