Charli XCX and fiance George Daniel have worked on new music together

Charli XCX has been working on new music with her fiancé George Daniel.

The 31-year-old pop star – who announced her engagement to the drummer of The 1975 last month – has been in the studio laying down tracks for her next album, and she’s been teaming up with her husband-to-be on the new material.

She told the ‘Spout’ podcast: “We’ve done a couple of things together. We’ve got a few ideas in the works.

“It’s funny, I have never been in a relationship with someone that I’ve worked with, so it’s like a whole new dynamic, but it’s cool.

“There will probably be a couple of songs that he’s worked on with me.”

She has enjoyed seeing George and his bandmate Matty Healy collaborating in the studio, and learning from the way they have a “totally different” process to her.

She explained: “They take a lot of time when they are making a record and generally in the past I have been very fast.

“That used to be part of my process, this spontaneous, instinctual thing.

“Being around them, I have definitely adapted to the idea of sitting on songs, re-working things, playing them to friends, going back and forth and just living with the songs a bit more, so that is one way that my process has been perfected.”

Meanwhile, the ‘Boom Clap’ hitmaker admitted she finds it too “stressful” as a musician being sent other people’s songs ahead of time to get some feedback.

She added: “It is so stressful having another pop star’s music on your phone. It’s like walking around with a bomb in your bag. It is so stressful.”

Charli and George, 33, first worked together in 2021, when they joined forces to record ‘Spinning’.

And the loved-up couple made their romance Instagram official last year, when they shared a series of photos of themselves on holiday.
