Charli XCX to release debut album 'True Romance' in April

Charli XCX has announced details surrounding her long-awaited debut album release.

The glo-goth singer has confirmed that her first full-length to date will be called True Romance and is set for release on 15 April.

The LP will feature the likes of Blood Diamonds and J£ZUS MILLION , as well as Ariel Reichstadt (Usher, Major Lazer, Solange) and Patrik Berger (Lana del Rey, Robyn) on production duties.

Charli said of the release:

“I am so happy to have finished my first album, True Romance. For me, it’s a very emotional record. I suppose I kind of grew up through the process of making this album and as I’ve grown my views on love and life have been constantly changing. Each song is about love in some shape or form, whether that be euphoric love, heartbreak or obsession. Every corner of my own romantic history is explored on this record, so for me it’s very raw, it’s very honest and it’s very true. I’ve written a pop record from the heart, and when people hear it I hope they want to dance and cry at the same time.”

The tracklist for True Romance reads:

Nuclear Seasons
You (Ha Ha Ha)
Take My Hand
Stay Away
Set Me Free
Grins
So Far Away
Cloud Aura

You’re the One
