As wrote and recorded her fourth studio album, How I’m Feeling Now, Charli XCX focuses on keeping her body and mind in tune with regular exercises. The famous singer was drinking an iced coffee after a workout in a local gym in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. Charli XCX wore a black cropped jacket with black sports bra beneath and matching skin-tight shorts with high-top black sneakers. Charlotte Emma Aitchison, known professionally as Charli XCX, pulled her brown hair back into a bun. The singer was almost unrecognizable as she wore dark sunglasses and a black protective face mask. Charli XCX finished her all-black look with a small leather purse that’s she carried on her right shoulder as she strolled through the parking lot.
Ahead of the release of How I’m Feeling Now on May 15, Charli XCX uses Instagram to give her 3.7 million followers some insight into her frenzied six-week creative process. She said in a video posted back in April: “I am going to use this isolation time to produce a brand new album from scratch, and I am only going to be able to use the tools I have own to produce all music, all artwork, all videos… everything, it will be very DIY.” She also has co-written songs for other artists, including Selena Gomez, Iggy Azalea, Blondie, Camila Cabello and, Shawn Mendes.
