Charli XCX has offered a teaser of her forthcoming fifth album.
Last month, the singer dropped Good Ones as the lead single from the record – her first since 2020’s ‘How I’m Feeling Now’.
Speaking on The Chart Show with Brooke Reese on Apple Music 1, Charli said her latest release “definitely sets the palette for the rest of the album”.
“It is heavily eighties inspired. There are a lot of uptempo tracks,” she confirmed. “It’s dark, it’s kind of sexy and sexual and sort of demonic at points, I suppose. But then there are lighter moments too.
“I think the whole record is about my relationship with relationships and sex and power, but the song itself, I suppose, it’s about falling for a toxic person, being always ready to put myself in the most dangerous positions, just to feel something…
“Which I guess it’s kind of the whole record, but I feel like we’ve all been there at points in life.”
Further details of the new project remain under wraps, but Charli hinted the era will be cohesive both musically and visually.
“The fans can expect an overload of sexiness. I want it to all feel sexy,” she explained. “Like the music, the sounds, the tour, the videos, the clothes, the way they feel.
“So that’s kind of my hope really that everyone just discovers their inner sexy demon and it all comes out.”
