Charli XCX Reveals She Has Synesthesia to 'Nylon' Magazine
Charli XCX has become one of the hottest new acts in the pop world with her edgy sound and well-timed hooks. Her rise to prominence has been so meteoric it almost seemed like something was not right. Now in an interview with "Nylon" magazine, the "Boom Clap" singer has revealed she has a special gift that, according to Boston University, anywhere from 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 100,000 people have the condition synesthesia. Synesthetes, the people who have synesthesia, have a condition in which, according to BU, "When a certain sense or part of a sense is activated, another unrelated sense or part of a sense is activated concurrently. For example, when someone hears a sound, he or she immediately sees a color or shape in his or her 'mind's eye.'" Charlie XCX spoke to "Nylon" about her experience with synesthesia and what it is like to make music with the condition. People would always ask me how I came up with my music and what it felt like to make music, and I would always see colors and then I found out that that was synesthesia," Charli recently told "Nylon." "It helps me understand songs and what I like."
