"Oh, God, I feel so old. I'm so sad," says Charli Xcx , after two failed attempts, in our Zoom-interview.

"I am literally one of these Old Women go, 'Where's the camera? This thing is?'"

The Star speaks of her house in LA, where in reality, it is something of a technological ninja.

to write In a period of only Six Weeks , you have to plan and draw a new album out of nowhere, only with the "tools I have to create at my fingertips, all The Music , all the graphics, all the videos... everything."

The 27-year-old is already one of The Most respected composers in pop music, known for such hits as, and Icona Pop collaboration.

But This Time , the write process is completely Transparent to games, demos and exchange of The First draft on her.

Not only that, But she is calling from your producers, crowd-sourcing ideas in trade fair participation-Zoom, and to create Fans , image material, videos and remixes.

"a part of me is like, 'I don't know why I made an album like this'," she says. "It's so funny and nice as this one. "

the announcement of The Project at 6. April, told Charli Fans , your "positivity goes hand-in-hand with being creative," But that does not mean that it is immune from difficult days.

"Yesterday I cried", "I felt I was asking too much of everyone, pushing people to get stuff during the quarantine, if maybe Some People just want to chill out. "

But So Far , the results are among The Singer 's best. The First two singles, forever and claws effortlessly combine her dual nose for crisp pop melodies and adventurous, aggressive production.

she hopes to have the rest of The Album , the tentatively titled, How I feel Now, available via streaming services in just three weeks Time .

to discuss If it stabilizes our Zoom at long last, Charli plopped down on a beanbag, how the record was Shaping Up .

Hey Charli! How are you?

in fact, I feel quite well now. I definitely have days where I'm like, "Oh My God , I feel so unproductive and lost", But in General, I am quite surprised at how I was handling This Time .

The rest of us, you are getting a taste of life On Tour : no one knows what day of the week it is.

I definitely have the feeling. I'm going to be, like, "Oh My God , it's Friday!", and someone will go, "Uh, no, it was Friday four days ago. "

What Would You do now if you don't this Album?

I would really fight, really. Binge-watching TV and actually pretty sad.

How disheartening it is to share to all of your designs, Text, and demo vocals?

It is to suspend, in whole, in any case, But The Second I started to do it, I found it not scary anymore.

And that's not because all my ideas great. Some of my ideas, also I of this posting, these are things that might not come, in full implementation. But I think, for my Fans , it's really nice for you to see The Process .

I mean, I would be interested to hear, to feel demos of some of my favorite artists, in order, with ideas on how they form. I find it exciting.

On your Apple Music show, played a demo, where the lyrics were mostly nonsense words, as they believed, their way around The Melody . But she went Back To a single line: "I know you can't Leave Me alone". Do you think that sentence stick?

It is different every Time . The Line you mentioned, I'm pretty confident they sing at The End , and often with a situation like this I would definitely check out The Song to this sentence.

It is not necessarily the actual words I say, But sometimes the vowels are to contribute to the hookiness of The Melody . So I tend to try and stick to the forms of these words.

But sometimes, it is not The Line that I sing in the rough text feels interesting. This is something I've been fighting with in the demo, actually, because I do not like these words, But they are firmly in my head.

What was the biggest technical challenge?

the recording of My Own singing. I have not done since I was 15 and to make demos in my parents ' house. I'm so slow and it drives me crazy. I literally want to throw something at me.

What is The Problem ?

I don't know My Way around the software yet. And I'm not good enough to comp my vocals-this is where you sing The Song five times and select The Best bits from each take.

So now, instead, I'm just the whole thing by singing correctly. I guess every part of a sing 30 times 30, I'm like, "OK, this is perfect. All the breaths are in The Right place, all the nuances are correct, this is The One ". But it is a very long process.

it Is possible, The End result is better?

I guess you could take it to say it's a solid flow of emotions is in the full, I. But I feel like my takes are really good, when I can tell Someone Else How To comp you.

you have a period of 15 themselves. How important is it?

I wanted to. the plate in a Intensive Time , because I thought it would be more fun for people, and also because it is rather a kind of screw-up or error in a short period of Time , which is probably more interesting

I love The Way that you think, the Social Media narrative, as well as The Music .

Yeah, I mean, some good things did happen. I don't Want It to be seamlessly!

they are usually very fast, so how far is The Project you have?

Claws and forever are done, And Then there are three more demos, definitely on The Album . After that, it is a different song, the a perhaps.

But I don't want to just take 10 songs and put it on The Album . I would like to record several songs and decide which are The Most important 10.

Will this change your work in The Future ?

in any case. A part of me is like, "I don't know why I made an album like this".

I enjoy travelling and be still and focus on my music. This is something I have never done before. There are a million things at a Time , and to capture A Day here and there. So I think that will change, because I love recording like this.

You're lucky that technology means that you can make music like this. It would not have been possible 10 or 20 years.

100%. I would not only be lost, when I was there.

And there are a lot of other creative people who can't work during This Time - so, for me, this project is also a way to support some of these people, if the video editors, or artists, my pictures or 3D designers or video Directors. is

And I hope that not only will we be able to get some really great art together, But we will be able to give back. My plan is to make three unique works of art for each song, and I really want organization to be able to the auction of the original works of art and donate The Money to a charity.

Apart from music, what keeps you going?

I've just started for the First Time . I'm in episode nine. And I'm balancing Sopranos with the island of love, I've never seen before. So I go back and forth between the two, and that keeps me healthy.

I also rock painting. I collect them in The Garden and I paint them; and I have enjoyed cooking. I was definitely not much of a cook before the quarantine.

What is your specialty?

I'm really into soups right now, because I'm really not to waste his generic. I throw everything I can into it. also funny, that can on the back of The Fridge , been there for years.

So, if The Music fails, career, Masterchef beckons.

Actually, my manager sent me a message that say, "Oh, My God , Bon Appétit [mega-popular food blog] mentioned, you!" And I was like, "What? This is huge!"

Then I said, "just try to Charli Xcx and cooking, like watching a child learn a dance routine for the First Time ".

Charli Xcx album, How I Feel Now, is scheduled for release on may 15. May.
