After pop star Charli XCX posted a photo with Caroline Polacheck and Christine and the Queens in September, fans suspected that the artists may be collaborating on a track. Today, that track comes to the public — as does an album and tour announcement.
The latest track, “New Shapes,” is an energetic dance track fitting for both the club and the car. The song features buzzing ‘80s-inspired synths and a punchy beat that brings audiences right back to the time when Madonna and Prince occupied MTV and teen hearts.
This song comes after Charli’s September single “Good Ones” along with a music video that the artist described as “me dramatically mourning the untimely loss of my partner as I battle with the realisation that once again I’ve abandoned the goodness in my life, in favour of the sinister, with a visual aesthetic that marks a new era of me: Charli XCX.”
These tracks come from her upcoming album Crash, which is set to come out on March 18, 2022. According to Pitchfork, the pop star said the album is “the fifth and final album in my record deal….”Fortunately, fans can celebrate the album along with her 2022 tour, which is set to begin on March 26, 2022, in Oakland, CA, and end on June 9 in Barcelona. Charli XCX has 37 dates on this tour and is visiting cities across the US and Europe, including LA, Denver, Dallas, Atlanta, Boston, New York, Dublin, London, Paris, Milan and more.
