Speculations about a potential collaboration with Christine and the Queens and Caroline Polachek began in September when Charli shared a photo of the three together. Polachek featured on Charli’s POP 2 mixtape from 2017 and Christine and the Queens on “Gone” from 2019.
The new album is arriving next year and the singer hinted a few months ago that it might be the 18th March 2022. Back in September she “posted an image of a headstone with the date of 18th March 2022“. Back then she also shared that the new, fifth record will be the last one under the contract that she signed when she was just 16 years old. Also back in September, the singer released the first single from the album, “Good Ones” along with a “twisted, dramatic and quite frankly electrifying music video“. At that time she explained that the single start a new chapter that “embraces all that my life has to offer in today’s world – fame, glamour, inner demons and global hits”.
Talking about her upcoming album she said to InStyle that it will be “kind of all about sex and sexuality” and “can make people dance and cry at the same time”. She confirmed that during ‘The Chart Show’ on Apple Music 1 saying: “I want it to all feel sexy. 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 they’re in a sexy demon and it all comes out.” The new album will be the singer’s first big release after the lockdown’s How I am Feeling Now from 2020, which was fueled with the anxiety of those pandemic months.
