AGUILERA | SECOND SINGLE
RELEASE: 6/7
LABEL: Catalyst Fall Records
TITLE: Spitfire (feat. Azealia Banks)
PRODUCER(S): DJ Premier, Diplo, Avicii
PERFORMER(S): Christina Aguilera, Azealia Banks
GENRE(S): Trance/Reggae/Psychedelic Rock/Blues/Hip Hop
WRITER(S): Azealia Banks, Christina Aguilera, Avicii, Matt Morris
An official external source closely associated with Catalyst Fall Records and Dreamcream Recordings can now reveal that Christina Aguilera's second single will be titled as: "Spitfire". The track features universally-acclaimed female rapper Azealia Banks who first came to prominence with her breakthrough hit "212" back in 2011. She's apparently shaking up the whole game so all those fancy broads better watch out for this barbie ****!
So anyways, this will mark the pair's first ever interaction with each other and we've got to admit.. Aguilera and Banks are quite an awfully strange collaboration of sorts. Having said that, we feel as though "Spitfire" will break and create boundaries in the music industry so there's no doubt at all that this shall prove to be a great decision by the two ladies. Christina has previously expressed her admiration for Azealia Banks. They've even followed each other on Twitter!
"Spitfire" is produced by world-renowned Hip Hop beat-maker DJ Premier and production shall be overlooked by intricate producer for the starlets EDMer Diplo and up-and-coming Swedish musical mastermind Avicii. The track features writing credits from Miss Banks, Aguilera, Avicii, and Matt Morris who Christina worked with back in her Stripped days. In addition, "Spitfire" shall embody a melodic Trance-Psychedelic Rock track based off Hip Hop beats with a Reggae twist and influenced by Xtina's previous Blues-y Indie Neo-Soul sound of her lead single "Nighthawks". It seems as though "Spitfire" is a risk of sorts, with such a distinct yet ballsy sound, who knows whether this collab will flop?
Christina Aguilera's second single "Spitfire" featuring Azealia Banks is now available for purchase.
More details soon.

Charli XCX interviewed by Rolling Stones
Charli XCX has been everywhere lately. Since the release of the amazing album 'True romance' in April 2013, has gained quite a big amount of fame. Thanks to her feature on the #1 hit 'Fancy' & becuase of her single for the movie 'The Fault In Our Stars', 'Boom Clap' her fanbase grew bigger & bigger. We met with her in our studios just a few days ago, to discuss the future of her career. Read the interview below.
You had an impressive growth of fame! Since the release in 2011 of your singles 'Stay Away', & 'Nuclear Seasons', you wrote and were featured on the top 10 hit 'I Love It', and on the number 1 hit 'Fancy'. You've also released your debut album and you sang a soundtrack song, What's next for you?
Well I'm working really hard right now on my sophomore album. It's really something i love to do: music. I haven't stopped writing in the past 2 years! I've finished recording many many demos. At first i wanted to do a more Punk-Rock album. But I then changed my mind and decided i'd keep my 'True Romance' Sound and add to it a little bit of pop. I can't wait for it.
You've had so much success that Taylor Swift noticed you! You are featured on a track on her EP 'Coven 13', Tell us a bit about it?
Well it's called 'Minds Interrupted' and it's about a complicated relationship of couple, they have a hard time communicating when their minds are 'interrupted'. We wrote it together in the studio and we were listening to my song 'Stay Away', which is why it's the inspiration behind the song.
Did you work with other people since then?
I've worked with 2 people since then. I've worked with Sky Ferreira for one of my tracks. It's probably gonna be on the album. I love Sky, she's so special and unique! We wrote the song together. I've also worked with Marina & the Diamonds aswell, but I'm not sure I can say much about that.
When would you say you're done with the album?
As i said earlier it's nearly done! I've wrote more then 45 songs for the album, around 15 songs will be used. I've fully done 8 or 9 songs. But we're really working really hard so it will be done in maybe less then a month.
Is 'SuperLove' on the album?
For sure! It's only a promo single but I really love this song.
Did you chose a lead single for it already?
Yes! I'm even releasing it this week! It's called 'Alone in The Dark', I'm gonna sing a snippet in a few minutes! It's a track that i wrote and produced all by myself, I'm really proud of it!
Charli then got up to our own small stage to perform a 30-seconds snippet of 'Alone in The Dark', the lead single, to be supposedly released this week which is also supposed to be on her album. From the snippet, we can see that the track is yet another masterpiece by Miss XCX, which sounds like a mix of 'Nuclear Seasons', 'You're The One' & 'SuperLove.'
The video fo the performance can watched on our website here.

Charli XCX Premiers 'Alone In The Dark' on Z100
Charli XCX barely announced her new single 'Alone In The Dark' through a Rolling Stones Magazine intevriew posted on their website that she's already started a promotional tour to promote the single! Her first stop: Z100. She sat down for an interview which also led to the worldwide premier of the single. The appearance gave the single a lot of attention. Here's a transcript of the interview.
We now have with us Charli XCX, who came to celebrate the worldwide premier of her single 'Alone in The Dark'! Welcome Charli!
Thank you so much for having me here, I'm so excited!
We all are! So tell us about it, what's it about?
Well It's the first track i produced all by myself! I really think it's a great song! It's a break-up song about how you feel as if you were all by yourself after you lose a loved one.
How many songs for the album are already done?
About 8.
Did you produce them by yourself as well?
Not all of them no, I've produced a few more songs but the biggest part of the producing was made by Ariel Rechtshaid and Patrik Berger, who I'd really would just like to thank them here and now, because of all the support they've given me! They are some greta people.
Now let's hear the song!
*Alone in the Dark plays*
It's one amazing song! I'll be jamming to this song for the rest of the week! Are the songs on the album similar?
In a certain way yes, it's cohesive. But the album isn't a 15 songs long album where all songs are the same.
Have you ever thought about how long you would keep on making music? It's a question i ask everyone who comes here
Well my career literally just started I'm trying to concentrate on what's happening right now then later on.
Well that's all for today!
Alone in The Dark

Charli XCX Performs at GlassLands Night Club
Charli XCX's Debut performance of her new single 'Alone in the Dark' from her sophomore album was just a few minutes ago at Brooklyn's Glasslands Night club which was a old warehouse that was converted into a dance club. The venue fit perfectly Charli XCX's new single as well as persona. The venue was sold out for a few days now but since the announcement of the release of 'Alone In The Dark' people are buzzing that this would be 'Alone's debut performance venue.
When the concert started the stage suddenly started shooting smoke. 'You're The One's instrumental started playing. Charli appeared in the middle of the smoke doing some hair flips and doing some weird and Lorde-ish dance moves. She started singing the lyrics and the crowd went crazy. She didn't need any dancers, her moves alone were enough to impress the sold-out crowd. After 'You're The One' ended she said a small speech: "You know guys, it's amazing to have you as fans. I'm so happy right now, my life has been such a rollecoaster and it feels great to have so many people that care about you. This next song is 'Stay Away' which is certainly not what i want you guys to do". 'Stay Away' started playing. Her voice was great . She She went down to the small crowd and kept on singing and hugged a few fans who were in tears. When 'Stay Away' ended she asked the crowd what more did they want to hear besides 'Alone in The Dark', and the majority asked for 'Nuclear Seasons'. 'Nuclear Seasons started playing and the 21 years old singer sang her heart out. Finally, she decided to sing 'I Love It' which she wrote and on which she was featured in 2012. The crowd went crazy. She then sang her only #1 hit 'Fancy' which she co-wrote and was featured on. It was like one huge party. The crowd loved it. She then continued her show with 'Boom Clap' which is featured on the soundtrack of 'The Fault in Our Stars'.
She kept the best for last. To close off her show, Charli performed her new pop masterpiece 'Alone In The Dark'. "It's nearly the end of this show.. I want to say thank you guys by performing this brand new song... it's called 'Alone in the Dark' " she said before performing it. The corwd went crazy and screamed her name while she sang the first lyrics.
After the show ended, Charli XCX went down to the crowd to sign a few autographs and to hug a few fans.

Charli XCX on TRL
Charli XCX released her new single 'Alone with Me' a few hours ago and to promote it she's performing the debut TV Performance of the single on MTV's iconic show TRL. Before arriving on stage she signed a few autographs and talked with the host who sounded really excited. "I can't believe I'm finally here! I used to watch this when I was a kid, I never missed any performances!"
The stage was set up in the middle of Times Square in New York City. "This is the first time I perform this song TV!" she said right before starting to sing the 'Alone in the Dark' lyrics. Upon hearing the first lyrics, the crowd screamed a little bit and Charli screamed "Hellll YEAH" back. The performance was explosive. Charli kept on jumping around in her black platform boots. She sang her heart out to the new single. Fans could be seen trying to get on stage with her. She then stood in front her Led microphone stand and started to sing 'Boom Clap'. The performance was quite amazing. Some fans started crying especially since the song reminded them of the nearly perfect romance/drama/comedy movie 'The Fault in Our Stars'.
The performance was watched by thousands and should boost the sales of 'Alone in the dark' which is now available for purchase digitally.
