Charli XCX says her new album has been finished for three months

Charli XCX says her new, third album has been finished for three months.

On her Instagram page, a fan told her “Your label should’ve also told you your [sic] release an album,” to which she replied: “ummm it’s been done for 3 months. i been telling THEM to release it…”

In a recent interview with The Fader, Charli confirmed she’d finished recording a follow-up to 2015’s ‘Sucker’. She’s been in the studio with PC Music producer SOPHIE and go-to collaborators Stargate. “I know people are going to be like, ‘She wanted to make the album with SOPHIE, and her label said, You need to put it with Stargate to make this work.’ But it was never about putting SOPHIE in a pop environment and flattening him out. It was knowing they could bounce really well, in a room together, working to each other’s strengths,” she said.

She also claimed that this new record would be her most “pop-commercial,” adding: “I’ve just never committed, I suppose. Instead I’ve always made breakup songs or really emo love songs. But I’ve never been fucked over by a guy, never been cheated on. That just comes from, like, romantic-style movies. I’ve always been very much the opposite of what I write about. Because I do like to party, and when I go out, I don’t like listening to love songs. Like, I skip them. I like watching DJs, I don’t want to watch bands. I realized that at the end of Sucker. I was like, Uh, what am I doing? If I make a party record, I can go on tour and party every night.”

Earlier this year, she released the ‘Vroom Vroom’ EP.
