Charli XCX is spending her quarantine hours writing and recording a her fourth album, how i'm feeling now, and yesterday she released the record's first single. "forever" is a sugary slice of futuristic pop that, like many of Charli's best songs, crams a seemingly impossible amount of ideas, sounds, and melodies into less than three minutes.
how i'm feeling now will be rolled out one song at a time, with Charli collaborating with producers online through the coronavirus shutdown and sharing the process with her fans via Zoom calls. According to a press release, “this is a working process that will continue throughout the album, with the entirety of the project being written, recorded, produced and released while in quarantine due to the world pandemic."
