Charli XCX aiming to "make the best pop album of 2017"

"Boom Clap" hitmaker Charli XCX has opened up about her next studio album and admitted that she is aiming high.

Chatting to Fader magazine about her new collection of songs, she explained that her goal is to "make the best pop album of 2017".

Charli confessed that working with longtime collaborators SOPHIE and Stargate was important to her because together, they have what it takes to make a "progressive" album: "I wanted to make an album with SOPHIE and Stargate. Sure, some of SOPHIE's records are a little harsh and off-the-wall, but the goal is to be making progressive pop music."

"Stargate obviously come from a totally different world, but at the same time that's also their aim, you know? That xylophone on their old Ne-Yo R&B s***, the way the handclaps were programmed? I know people are going to be like, 'She wanted to make the album with SOPHIE, and her label said, You need to put it with Stargate to make this work.'"

She added: "But it was never about putting SOPHIE in a pop environment and flattening him out. It was knowing they could bounce really well, in a room together, working to each other's strengths."
