Charli XCX is currently in the midst of working on her new album. There are many speculations about what the album will sound like, we don’t know what the upcoming project will sound like but we have an idea of some inspiration behind the project. According to NME, a song on the record is inspired by her late friend SOPHIE. This stems from an interview Charli gave to The Face where the star stated that it all “was the result of a complicated blend of emotions”.

Charli and SOPHIE worked together on many projects, with their partnership beginning in 2015 when working on the ‘Vroom Vroom’ EP. After that, the pair later went on to collaborate on the singles ‘After the Afterparty’, ‘No Angel’, and ‘Girls’ Night Out’. The duo also worked on the ‘Number 1 Angel’ tracks ‘Roll With Me’ and ‘Lipgloss’, and ‘Pop 2’ track ‘Out of My Head’.

When asked about SOPHIE Charli added that she could not “encapsulate what a unique person” her collaborator was and stated that she will honor Sophie in her own time personally, in her grief, through her memories, through her work, and through writing things only she can read. SOPHIE died in a tragic accident in Athens Greece in January of 2021. Although there is no release date for Charli XCX‘s tribute track, her new single “Von Dutch” is expected to drop later this month
