Back in September, Charli XCX released her first proper single of the year, "Good Ones," which she called "the first single of my new chapter." She's now revealed she has a new album on the way, Crash, due out March 18, 2022. She worked with "an incredible group of producers and collaborators" on the album, including A. G. Cook, George Daniel, Deaton Chris Anthony, Lotus IV, Oscar Holter, Digital Farm Animals, Rina Sawayama, Ian Kirkpatrik, Jason Evigan, Justin Raisen, Ariel Rechtshaid, Ilya, Oneohtrix Point Never, Jon Shave and Mike Wise, as well as Caroline Polachek and Christine and the Queens, who both appear on the new single she's shared today, "New Shapes." It's a bright, bold pop track, and you can hear it below.
Charli also announced a 2022 tour of North America and Europe, which will begin in March and run through June. The North American leg includes stops in Oakland, Portland, Los Angeles, Denver, Austin, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston, NYC, Toronto, Chicago, and more, and you can see all dates below.
