In 2020, Charli XCX gave herself just four weeks in lockdown to make a full album — and somehow created one of the most important pop records of the 21st century. how i’m feeling now is euphoric and sad, raw and ravey, intimate yet made for a crowd we couldn’t be in.
In this episode, I unpack the album’s strange magic — the glitchy production, the club beats we danced to alone, and the heartbreak that hit even harder with distance. I talk about the producers who helped shape it (A.G. Cook, BJ Burton, Danny L Harle), how it quietly reshaped pop music, and why “party 4 u” feels even more devastating now than it did in lockdown.
I also cover the news headlines in pop:
- JADE announces her debut album
- Rihanna has new music coming
- A 'party 4 u' music video is on the way.
