Charli XCX just got a rather unexpected stamp of approval from M. Night Shyamalan, who's clearly been paying attention to what she's doing beyond the obvious pop hits. It's quite refreshing when someone known for one medium entirely respects the artistic ambition in another, especially when there's genuine common ground like a love of film. If the director of The Sixth Sense is talking about having endless conversations with our Charli, you know she's doing something that goes well beyond the algorithm, and that's the kind of cultural cross-pollination we quite enjoy.
