Charli XCX reveals how quarantine is inspiring her new album

Charli XCX has released her second single from quarantine. Listen to "Claws" at the top of the page. The song was produced by Dylan Brady of 100 Gecs, so it sounds like getting sucked into a modem and spat back out in a brightly colored cartoon.

The 2016 release of Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam Batmanglij’s collaborative album, I Had a Dream That You Were Mine, yielded the indie-rock hit “A 1000 Times” and scored an iPhone synch for “In a Black Out.” But after, Leithauser — who released his debut solo album in 2014 after nearly 14 years as lead singer of The Walkmen — struggled to record and release new work. The music came easily, but the lyrics... not at all.
