Just last month, Charli XCX announced that she would write, record, and release a brand new album during her time in self-isolation at home in Los Angeles - and today that album, 'how i'm feeling now', is out.
To celebrate the album's release, we've put together five things that we currently appreciate about Charli and the new album - check them out below...
Florence Pugh has contributed both spoken word and vocals for a new song, marking the first time her vocals have ever featured on an officially released song, having joined L Y R - Simon Armitage, Richard Walters and Patrick J Pearson - for a remote recording of Armitage’s newest poem, 'Lockdown'.
Proceeds from the release will go to Refuge - a UK-based charity providing specialist support for women and children experiencing domestic abuse.
Maude Latour has just released a brand new song, 'Furniture', which she's been teasing on social media in recent times to fans - sharing a stripped-back rendition of the song's opening. In 'Furniture' (a song which she has called the love of her life), Latour sings about a post break-up experience with ferocity - from blocking their number, to running into them at a party, to the relatable hope of a relationship being like a movie.
Ahead of the release of The 1975's new album 'Notes On A Conditional Form' next week, the band have shared Matty Healy's ode to his bandmates, 'Guys' - in which he sings earnestly, “You guys are the best thing that ever happened to me."
P.S. If you missed it, our new zine with The 1975 is available for pre-order now - click here to check it out.
