Charli XCX has released the latest single from her delayed album Sucker. Listen to 'London Queen' below.
The provocative pop sensation, fresh from the undeniable brilliance of 'Boom Clap' and 'Fancy', has just released the audio for 'London Queen'. Produced by Justin Raisen, she describes the track's sound as "future Ramones". Accompanied by driving guitars it shows XCX discussing the strangeness of moving to America, her ambition to fill her house full of gold plaques and, in a more macabre fashion, feeling like JFK when she's driving.

Earlier this month XCX, announced that her album ‘Sucker’ would not be released on 21st October as planned but would be delayed until 26th January in the U.K./Europe and 16th December in the U.S.
This came about due to the surprise success of her solo single “Boom Clap.” XCX spoke of the delay on Twitter and revealed:
