Charli XCX - Rock Star (2011)

After Charli XCX met with American producer Ariel Rechtshaid, they had a two-hour session and wrote the song 'Stay Away', and it was at this point the she realised that things were starting to come together. Early in 2011 she was featured on the Alex Metric single 'End Of The World', and after leaving during the second year of her degree course at the Slade School of Fine Art to focus on her music career, she released two singles, with 'Stay Away' coming out in May, and 'Nuclear Seasons' in November. The singles gained attention from music website Pitchfork, where she earned "Best New Track" accolades for both, with the former eventually being named in the site's "Best Tracks of 2011" list. As well as those two singles, she also recorded more unreleased music that year, making enough for yet another album that could have been released in 2011.
