Charli XCX: The music industry is catching up with me

Los Angeles, March 20 : Singer Charli XCX has released her fifth studio album, Crash, and the 29-year-old pop star finally feels her future-leaning music is a "tangible genre" not just loved by the "weird kids".Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Charli said: "Im on my fifth album in my five-album deal.

Ive arrived at this place where Im incorporating all of the different things that Ive done in the past into one body of work.

"I also feel like, and this might sound like a negative but I actually think its a positive, I also feel like were at a time in the music industry where the music industry is beginning to catch up with me a little bit," reports femalefirst.co.uk.Charli said: "Were at this time now where being an artist like me is actually quite common and the norm and with things like hyperpop existing.Its like that is now a tangible genre that not only weird kids who have great taste can understand but playlisters can understand or whatever.

"This album feels very cyclical in many ways a people can understand who I am now."Charli describes her LP as "hyper-sexualised" and recently explained how she wanted to "challenge" herself with the dancing in the promo for the single Baby.She said: "Its probably the most sexy song Ive ever made.Its about sex and sexuality and having good sex and just feeling yourself essentially.I know that thats the tone.

"I knew that that was the tone I wanted to carry across for the entire record.This kind of hyper-sexualised, feminine power zone was where I was feeling myself going, and Baby was the genesis of this.

"Also I think thats probably why I wanted to challenge myself on the choreo for this song, which was really, really tough and I have so much respect for dancers, professional dancers, anyone who communicates emotion through dance.It is so hard and challenging, but so rewarding.
