Charli XCX Drops Punky Cover of '60s Hit "Money (That’s What I Want)"
Charli XCX is already offering an early stream of upcoming Sucker LP, but there's still new music to be heard! The undeniable breakout star revealed "Money (That's What I Want)," a bonus track off the album. And if the punky track sounds familiar, you've likely already heard the '60s hit single originally done by Motown singer Barrett Strong or the 1963 version made famous by The Beatles or the silly, updated take featured in '90s cult classic Empire Records.
Charli updates the short-but-sweet, two-minute cut with pounding percussion and grungy electric guitars. There's not much going on vocally and instead Charli delivers the confident lines in a sassy, shout/talk delivery.
