The announcement confirming the release of the singer’s forthcoming album was made in November last year. Alongside the announcement for Crash, Charli XCX also shared the track “New Shapes”. The single was the second track to be released from Crash and features Christine And The Queens and Caroline Polachek. The 29-year-old artist has also collaborated with Rina Sawayama on the track “Beg For You”, the single was released on 27th January 2022 and was the third single to be released from the new album. Both collaborative tracks are included within the forthcoming album’s tracklist, along with the singles “Good Ones” and “Baby”.
Charli XCX has recently spoken on the process taken to produce “Baby”, the latest single to be taken from Crash. Within the statement, the singer also provides a description for her hotly anticipated album, “It’s probably the most sexy song I’ve ever made. It’s about sex and sexuality and having good sex and just feeling yourself essentially. I know that that’s the tone. I knew that that was the tone I wanted to carry across for the entire record. This kind of hyper-sexualised, feminine power zone was where I was feeling myself going, and ‘Baby’ was the genesis of this. Also I think that’s probably why I wanted to challenge myself on the choreo for this song, which was really, really tough and I have so much respect for dancers, professional dancers, anyone who communicates emotion through dance. It is so hard and challenging, but so rewarding.”
The Cambridge born singer first rose to prominence through MySpace; the genesis of the social media networking era and the first site in which to offer such services. Her songs soon gained the attention of industry professionals and the singer was signed to Asylum Records in 2010. Charli XCX was catapulted into fame with her collaboration with Icona Pop on the song “I Love It”, which was a global success and reached number one within the UK singles chart.
Last month, after a series of messages, Charli XCX teamed up with Vernon from the K-pop band SEVENTEEN. The duo released a remix of the single “Beg For You”, and Vernon’s contribution can be heard within a brand new verse. The K-pop idol has recently spoken on his admiration for Charli XCX, in an interview with Teen Vogue he stated that he is “still having a hard time grasping this reality”, he continued, “I just really want to say thank you to Charli for acknowledging my existence”.
