It time to put your seatbelts on! British pop-singer Charli XCX just announced the arrival of her fifth studio album, CRASH, along with a US and European Tour.
In a press statement, Charli wrote, “The announcement of CRASH follows my latest single, ‘Good Ones,’ a track signaling a new chapter for me in which I embraced all that the life of a pop figurehead has to offer in today’s world — celebrity, obsession and global hits.”
CRASH is the last album Charli will release with Atlantic Records.

As stated by Charli in a press release, CRASH is “the fifth and final album,” she’ll work on under her current recording contact. Together, Charli and Atlantic Records have produced 2017’s Number one Angel and Pop 2, along with 2019’s self-titled album Charli, the singer's most recent record from 2020, How I’m Feeling Now, and a myriad of hit singles.
Though her contract is wrapping up quickly, Charli has yet to announce which record label she’s planning to work with next (if any).
CRASH’s second single, “New Shapes,” (or “e ShpeS”), features two guest artists.
Along with the album’s announcement, Charli unveiled another single from CRASH. In her press-release the singer wrote, “I am also releasing one of the most exquisite tracks from the album alongside the tour dates — although honestly, all the tracks are totally divine.”
Charli recruited numerous friends to work on CRASH.
The album includes collaborations with other musicians as well. Charli also wrote, “I was able to possess and persuade an incredible group of producers and collaborators to contribute to CRASH by using my femme fatale powers and a multitude of dark spells and curses.”
