(Charli XCX) (Wolf Alice)

Charli XCX, on a winter sojourn to Australia, stopped by the triple j studios for their Like A Version series.

The ever-busy popstar took on Wolf Alice's brilliant "Don't Delete The Kisses" from recent LP Visions Of A Life, turning the spaced-out rock odyssey into a space-age power ballad.

XCX also performed her own banger "Boys", one of our Songs Of The Year, and you can check out the results below.

Charli XCX is releasing an early Christmas present for everyone next week (15 December) - POP 2 is the guest-heavy mixtape she teased earlier this week, and alongside Tove Lo, ALMA, SOPHIE, and PC Music's A. G. Cook - who are involved with first single "Out Of My Head" - we can expect to hear contributions from Carly Rae Jepsen, Caroline Polachek (Chairlift), Mykki Blanco, CupcakKe, Brooke Candy, MØ, and more.

XCX has been collaborating lots in 2017, joining forces with Mura Masa, Whethan, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and producer Yasutaka Nakata, and Blondie in recent months, plus recruiting heaps of major names for her Number 1 Angel mixtape. She also recently revealed that an album with PC Music boss A.G. Cook was finished.
