Here's whats amazing about this video. While it looks overtly sexualized, there is a power and a defiance to what Charli's doing. She's no fool and as you look at this video thinking she's being objectified; it's holding a mirror up to society. Someone on Youtube said this video was "Big Girls pretending to be Little Girls pretending to be Big Girls" and I think there is something completely meta about that in it's simplicity. People compare Charli to Sky Ferreira and there are comparisons that can be made but she has her own thing that is new and forward thinking. I think Charli is one of the best new artists simply because she is innovative. Her mixtapes are brilliant and she thumbs her nose at the establishment. I can't wait for her debut release.
