Live Review: Charli XCX recruits Rina Sawayama For New UKG Inspired Single, 'Beg For You'

Pop superstar Charli XCX has recruited Rina Sawayama for her new single, 'Beg For You'. This is the debut collaboration from the duo.

Pop superstar Charli XCX has recruited Rina Sawayama for her new single, 'Beg For You'. This is the debut collaboration from the duo after years of friendship. The track is taken from her highly anticipated forthcoming record, 'CRASH' which is set for release on the 18th of March.

The track samples the classic 'Cry For You' by September. Charli interpolates the tracks hook with her own distinct vocal performance and lyrical adjustments, transforming the track into a 2 step contemporary UK Garage number. The duo glide effortlessly over the glossy club production, acting as the perfect uplifting number.

The single closely follows her previous releases 'Good Ones' and 'New Shapes' ft. Christine and the Queens and Caroline Polachek, with her fifth album shaping up gorgeously. It's the last album on her highly publicised record deal, and currently its jammed to the brim with hits.
