Charli XCX is writing, recording and producing a full-length album, How I’m Feeling Now, by using only the tools at her disposal in self-isolation and feedback from her fans via social media.
Charli dropped the project’s first single, “Forever,” earlier this month, and now has released its crowd-sourced music video.
The singer curated and compiled more than 5,000 phone camera clips sent in by her fans of life both before and after social isolation. The clip cuts between shots of Pride festivals, nightclubs, beach trips and more large gatherings, to the solitude of Charli and her fans’ homes, as they stay inside to stop the spread of COVID-19.
How I’m Feeling Now is due out May 15th.
Next week, Charli XCX will be participating in a “digital festival” taking place in the video game “Minecraft,” organized by 100 Gecs and taking place April 24th. All donations collected during the festival will benefit Feeding America.
