Carlita announces new album, Telepathy

Turkish-Italian music producer Carlita is set to release her sophomore album, Telepathy, following the momentum of her 2024 debut, Sentimental. Scheduled for release on November 6 through Ninja Tune, Telepathy marks a further exploration of her evolving sound, blending dance-pop elements with intimate thematic content.

The new album continues to showcase Carlita's collaborative nature, featuring an array of artists such as Stevie Appleton of Collect 200, Justine Skye, Malive, Cleo Simone, Paige Cavell, SOFI TUKKER, Edd, jasper.wav, and Kosmo Kint. The lead-up to the album’s launch has been punctuated by the release of singles including “One More Dance,” a track embodying Carlita’s creative vision, alongside earlier previews like “Patchwork” with Paige Cavell and “Manhattan” with SOFI TUKKER.

Conceptually, Telepathy revolves around the intangible connections that link individuals to their memories, relationships, and surroundings without the need for control or possession. This motif of unseen bonds permeates the album, which Carlita frames as an expression of feminine energy manifested through dance-ready rhythms and emotive melodies.

Visually and thematically, Carlita has collaborated with creative director Pedro Damasceno to develop an aesthetic that complements the album’s introspective yet vibrant character. Their partnership has shaped both the album's imagery and its stage presentation, reinforcing the narrative of invisible threads connecting people across time and space.

Carlita’s recent live appearances have included performances at prominent international festivals such as Coachella, Sónar, Outside Lands, Tomorrowland, and Circoloco. These engagements have helped to solidify her presence on the global electronic and dance music scenes.

Looking ahead, Carlita is scheduled to perform at the ARC Music Festival in Chicago and Depot Mayfield in Manchester. She also plans to headline tours across Europe, North America, and Latin America, expanding her reach to diverse audiences.

Telepathy’s tracklist features a mix of solo productions and collaborations, highlighting Carlita’s versatility. Key tracks include “Intro (Bri Baby Mix),” “WYWD” featuring Justine Skye, “Pablo,” “Waking Up On A Sunny Morning” with Edd, “Helado,” “Rising Up” featuring Cleo Simone, “Disco Lady,” “Solar Skin” with Malive and jasper.wav, “Another Fantasy,” and “Tame My Love” featuring Kosmo Kint.

By weaving together dance-pop sensibilities with reflective lyrical themes and a roster of diverse contributors, Carlita positions Telepathy as a significant step forward in her artistic development. The album’s release on Ninja Tune, a label known for its eclectic and innovative roster, underscores her alignment with contemporary electronic music trends.

Details regarding the album’s chart ambitions or promotional strategies remain limited, but Carlita’s expanding profile and festival history suggest that Telepathy will resonate with both existing fans and new listeners seeking music that balances emotional depth with dancefloor appeal. The album’s concept of unspoken communication adds a nuanced layer to Carlita’s music, inviting listeners to explore the subtle connections that shape human experience.
