Olivia Rodrigo has shared that she felt “out of my element” while recently partying with Charli XCX.
The ‘Drop Dead’ singer stopped by BBC Radio 1 on Tuesday (June 2), where she was asked about any female pop stars who she felt were supportive.
In response, Rodrigo singled out Charli XCX, who she praised as a “girl’s girl”. “I actually went to a rave with her,” Rodrigo recalled (via People). “I don’t even know if it’s a rave. I’m not like, a party girl. She’s the ultimate party girl, obviously.”
Rodrigo added: “I was a little out of my element, but I had the best time, and she was very lovely.”
The pair were recently spotted together at Lost, where Rodrigo attended Charli’s surprise set at the elusive Covent Garden venue.
During her BBC Radio 1 appearance, Rodrigo also performed her cover of CMAT’s ‘When A Good Man Cries’ in the Live Lounge. She went on to praise the Irish singer as an “incredible, unique songwriter”, adding: “Nobody writes songs like her right now, and she’s just a force. Beautiful, beautiful voice, so I hope I did this song justice.”
Rodrigo is set to drop her new album ‘You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love’ next Friday (June 12).
So far, she’s shared the romantic ‘Drop Dead‘, along with her “favourite” track from her upcoming album, ‘The Cure‘.
She has also previewed the Weyes Blood-featuring ‘Begged’ during her SNL episode, where she acted as both host and musical guest.
Meanwhile, Charli XCX is also due to release her new album ‘Music, Fashion, Film‘. The singer teased her latest project at a surprise ‘In Conversation’ with husband George Daniel and DJ afterparty in London. The record is due to arrive on July 24 – pre-order it here.
The black and white cover is shot by Aidan Zamiri, and sees John Cale, Marc Jacobs, and Scorsese standing together, each representing the three aspects of the album title.
Charli XCX went on to describe the album title as suggesting “something cheeky”, adding: “It’s also about ambition and scale and glamour, but at the same time it’s also very, very real and personal”.
