Charli XCX’s “Take My Hand” Video: Watch Her Bounce Off The Walls
Charli XCX has premiered the video for “Take My Hand,” the glitchy, sugary track off her splendid debut, True Romance. A while back, Charli told us one of the album’s tracks was about falling in love while on E, and we suspect this is the one, since she sings “I swallowed something stupid / It’s making me stay awake” and the video finds her bouncing off the walls at a warehouse rave. Among the strobing lights and the song’s cascading bleep-bloops, Charli sings, dances and gives come-hither stares in slo-mo. The nifty juxtaposition was pulled off by her bestie Ryan Andrews, who has directed almost all of her videos.
