Is new Charli xcx music coming? Fans speculate over singer's recent social media activity

Following on from her album Brat, creating a cultural moment, and then providing the soundtrack for Emerald Fennell's "Wuthering Heights," fans are wondering what's next for Charli xcx.

Outside of music, the singer has been demonstrating her acting chops in her mockumentary The Moment about the rise to pop stardom and its pitfalls, and also stars in the independent romantic drama Erupcja which comes out this month.

Nevertheless, something appears to be brewing as fans have noticed changes on some of Charli's social media and her Spotify page.

Here's what they've spotted:

Updated her private Instagram account

Charli's second private Instagram account, where she has wiped all of her previous posts related to her album Brat, and has even changed the username from @360_brat to @b.sides.

The singer has now made her first post since wiping her feed clean, she shared four snaps working in a recording studio in Paris from last year, where she says she felt "very inspired."

Newest post on her main Instagram account

It's not just her private account that Charli has been posting on, as she also took to her main account to share a photo of herself wearing headphones with the caption, "I love making things".

Latest TikTok video hints at return

In her first TikTok post since February, Charli shared a video of herself saying, "I missed you guys," then smiling at the camera before the video ended.

The video caption reads, "I'll be back soon."

Spotify bio update

Listeners on streaming platform Spotify also clocked that Charli's bio has been updated with a cryptic message, "I feel so lucky that I feel so inspired. If you feel inspired then you’re lucky too. But if you don’t feel it right now, that’s okay. Because one day you’ll feel it and when you do, you’ll feel like you’ve been let in on the best secret in the world. And then it will fade away again.”

One fan said, "She’s said before that after an album comes out she feels creatively drained and the only way for her to get through it is to have a total breakdown and then the creativity comes back. I think this is speaking to that process."

"Oh my God. " What’s about to happen," a second person asked.

Charli is finishing up a new album

Charli's team recently confirmed to Billboard that the singer is finishing her eighth studio album.

No doubt fans will be keeping their eyes peeled for any further updates...
