Charli XCX's album is out next year and it's "the most pop thing"

Charli-XCX

'Famous' hitmaker Charli XCX has revealed via the medium of an interview that she's already started working on her third album, due next year, and that "it's going to be the most pop thing".

Honestly, that's really what she said to i‑D.

Look:

"It's going to be so different from the last album. It's going to be the most pop thing, and the most elec­tronic thing I've done. I started working in that way quite naturally, it just happened. This always happens, the second I put out the previous record I'm always over it."

She also revealed a bit more about the sessions she's been doing with con­sist­ent radio behemoth, Sophie.

"We did a little trip to LA together to hang out and do some writing; I'm really excited about. It's just ideas at the moment, but hopefully people will hear stuff next year."

Asked a bit more about the whole being over 'Sucker' thing, she added: "But it's fine, I'm not like, 'Oh God I hate this', but I always want to move on to the next thing, I want to continue creating. I always question whether I should stop being an artist and just be a song­writer because I can never be bothered to do the promotion and all the stuff I'm meant to do, which is very anti-pro­duct­ive and makes everyone very mad at me…".

Okay how about a new album next year, an arena tour, then a year off to write some songs for other people and then back with another one in 2017. You're welcome.
