watch: “so far away” – charli xcx

In her latest video, Charli XCX brings together the perfect mix of glitter and goth she’s known for. The Ryan Andrews-directed clip features sparkles, grainy footage, and Disney princesses.

Yes, Disney princesses. Which is a pretty awesome inclusion considering this is a song is about the breakup of a relationship – i.e., not a happy ending those princesse made all of us pine for. But rather than consider these implications, I spent most of the video wondering how they did the editing to make it look like the princesses were singing Charli’s lyrics.

“So Far Away” comes from her Heartbreaks and Earthquakes mixtape, which you can still grab a free copy of here. And if your eyes are ready for it, check out the video below:

Watch for: how many Disney princesses you can identify. I found five, but I think I’m missing one or two.
