Charli XCX Really Opened Up About Her Mental State With Her New Album

Charli XCX is the guest editor of the new issue of Dazed magazine and opening up about everything from fashion to music and more.

The 27-year-old singer revealed that she looks to her new self-titled album as the truest form of a personal album.

“I feel like for the first time, I’m really opening up about my mental state,” she says. “I was really open to writing in those moments where I felt really depressed, or insecure, or sad. Rather than leaving the studio and going home, I would write a song there and then.”

There are also breakup themes on the album, but not the romantic kinds. Charli actually split from her management company six months before beginning work on the album.

“It was a different type of break-up, but my world was totally flipped upside down.”
