For Charli XCX, “staying positive goes hand in hand with being creative.”
That’s what she said in an Instagram post on Monday (April 6) announcing a new album that she will be making entirely in self-isolation. The record, tentatively titled How I’m Feeling Now, will be recorded in her home amid the coronavirus crisis.

I AM MAKING A NEW ALBUM. RELEASE DATE MAY 15TH. WORKING TITLE: HOW I’M FEELING NOW
“The nature of this album is going to be very indicative of the times just because I’m only going to be able to use the tools I have at my fingertips to create all music, artwork, videos everything,” she noted, before explaining that she will be sharing everything from demos to texts with collaborators. She will also be using fan input, from artwork to song ideas and more.
How I’m Feeling is out May 15. See her full announcement, originally revealed during a Zoom livestream, below.
