the sound of my heart | "boom clap" by charli xcx

As the Chipotle Cultivate San Francisco Festival nears, let's take a look at one of the artist on the music lineup: Charli XCX. 

Since 2012, I've been following her rise to fame from a music blog stapled artist to the iTunes top charts. She wrote Icona Pop's song "I Love It", she's supported both Ellie Goulding and Marina & the Diamonds on their respective tours, and is featured on Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" track. Her debut album True Romance (2013) was well received by music critics and music bloggers alike. And, she has just released the music video for her song "Boom Clap," written for the The Fault in Our Stars soundtrack.

The track starts with a bam (a "boom clap," to be precise) - similar to how love can unexpectedly hit you out of nowhere. You didn't see it coming. But it's here now. And it feels so good, so so good! Time to enjoy it!

First kiss just like a drug
Under your influence
You take me over you're the magic in my veins
This must be love

Needless to say that I am very excited to see her perform live this upcoming Saturday in Golden Gate Park for the Chipotle Cultivate SF Festival. And best of all, it's free!! Yes! There's free admission to the festival. As if I needed another reason to love the Bay Area.
