Charli had no intention of insulting anyone. He only feels himself as a woman - to enter the music industry - becomes doubtful that often makes a production. This year, Charli has been productive in terms of music and films. His new album, Charli contains single tracks as well as songs that he composed. Charli also invited various cross-genre musicians to fill in the tracks in his album, some of which were Lizzo, Sky Ferreira, HAIM, Clairo, and Yaeji.
This album, which NME calls bold, brash, and brilliant, was self-produced. Charli's album is a remake of an album that was leaked to the public by hackers, containing songs that have been recorded even though they don't have the original title. Later, Charli became the producer of a Netflix exclusive TV series entitled I'm With the band: Nasty Cherry.
Charli is the creator of Nasty Cherry and through this series he wants to show music lovers how to shape and introduce Nasty Cherry to the public. This six-episode program can be watched via the Netflix streaming service.
