Charli XCX Announces ‘True Romance’ Details

Charli XCX has announced details of her debut album, set for release this spring.

‘True Romance’ will be available through Asylum Records on April 15th, and will be supported by a trio of live dates. Charli will play London’s Old Blue Last on April 17th, Glasgow’s ABC2 on April 18th and Manchester’s Deaf Institute on April 19th. She’ll also be touring with Ellie Goulding across Europe and with Marina and the Diamonds in the states, as well as more than 10 appearances at SXSW.

Talking about the new record, Charli says: ‘I am so happy to have finished my first album, True Romance. For me, it’s a very emotional record. I suppose I kind of grew up through the process of making this album and as I’ve grown my views on love and life have been constantly changing. Each song is about love in some shape or form, whether that be euphoric love, heartbreak or obsession. Every corner of my own romantic history is explored on this record, so for me it’s very raw, it’s very honest and it’s very true. I’ve written a pop record from the heart, and when people hear it I hope they want to dance and cry at the same time. ’
