Second, thanks to the lockdown, singers poured all of vagaries, dreams, and fears into records, which is definitely an auditory feast for the public. They have more time to reflect on themselves and explore their inner world in isolation, directly leading their music in a brand-new direction. Several singers make their most critically acclaimed records during the pandemic lockdown. Take Charlie XCX, a well-known dance-pop singer for example. She released her fourth studio album how i’m feeling now last May, and she abandoned the dance-pop route that she gets used to for the past few years. Instead, this album is the fusion of pop songwriting and experimental electronic production, and shows the other sides of the Boom Clap singer. The artwork also garnered rave reviews from critics, praised for its “futuristic, unpredictable sound and penchant for an irresistible pop hook” (Megan, 2020). What makes it standout from others is that the album is made in a "do it yourself" collaborative process by Charlie and her fans within six weeks. Through the process, Charlie is not merely spawning the unique sound in her music career, but also strengthening the bonds between singers and fans.
