Girl, So Confusing: Charli XCX vs. Lorde Dance Party

All I’ve wanted since the summer of 2014 was someone, anyone, to tell me the difference between the teen singing “Royals” and her curly-haired doppelgänger busting out the bridge on Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy.” So the release of “girl, so confusing” left me more lost than ever. But Volstead Lounge is leaning into that madness with the musical doppelgänger event of the summer. They’ve got Turito spinning out the classics from New Zealand queen Lorde and girl-of-the-summer Charli XCX, complete with brat-themed cocktails. There’s something for everyone – longing tunes and pop anthems with a slight neurotic edge? You should totally come to this party (just make sure to put your hands up). – Cat McCarrey
