Today, she is once again in the headlines thanks to the release of “Hand In The Fire”, a Mr Oizo‘s 4-track EP where she is featured! It is available now via Ed Banger/Big Beat.

Charli XCX told DIY that she was a big fan of Ed Banger and that the label’s music has inspired her during the creative process of her debut album.

“Hand In The Fire” is a pop song which gives quite some room to the English singer but it is finally not the best track on the EP. Indeed, “Being Flat” is an absolute banger: the bass will get everone to agree on the clubs all around the world. Concerning “A Rekird”, it sounds like emergency on the dancefloor… Some clubbers won’t remain unscathed!
