Charli XCX is going all-out for her upcoming album CRASH, and her new single Baby is no exception. The sultry, sensual track has just dropped, and it's accompanied by a video where she's put her all into her choreography. Directed by Imogene Strauss and Luke Orlando, the video gives Charli the chance to shine - and she rises to the occasion.
Baby follows on from the release of Good Ones, New Shapes and Beg For You, with the video showing off Charli's seriously impressive dance moves. Flanked by two dancers, the video focuses on Charli's moves, matching the funky vibe of the track. We can easily imagine these moves being whipped out on a late-night dancefloor.
Speaking about the video to Zane Lowe, Charli explained, “I wanted to challenge myself on the choreo for this song, which was really, really tough and I have so much respect for dancers, professional dancers, anyone who communicates emotion through dance. It is so hard and challenging, but so rewarding.”
She also explained the meaning of Baby, and revealed, “It’s probably the most sexy song I’ve ever made. It’s about sex and sexuality and having good sex and just feeling yourself essentially. I knew that that was the tone I wanted to carry across for the entire record. This kind of hyper-sexualised, feminine power zone was where I was feeling myself – and Baby was the genesis of this.”
