Turkish-Italian producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist Carlita has announced her sophomore album, ‘Telepathy,’ arriving November 6th via Ninja Tune. The announcement is accompanied by the new single ‘One More Dance’ with Stevie Appleton (one half of duo Collect 200), offering the latest glimpse into a record that widens the scope of Carlita’s club-rooted sound through songwriting, production, and an ambitious cast of collaborators.

Telepathy, as Carlita describes it, is “thinking about somebody or something with no attempt at possessing that thing, only for it to come into your life anyway.” The album is about the kinds of communication that never get spoken: the invisible thread running between a person and their past, between lovers, between someone and the world around them. The record is feminine, driving and groovy, with a dance-pop subtlety as the throughline across the tracks.

Carlita’s records work like perfume: they return to you later, attached to a person or a memory. ‘Telepathy’ moves a room but stays with you long after, sitting somewhere between a pop record and a night spent dancing in a smoky basement without compromising either side. The album features contributions from SOFI TUKKER, Justine Skye, Malive, Stevie Appleton, Paige Cavell and Cleo Simone. 

‘Telepathy’s’ first single, ‘Patchwork’ with Paige Cavell, earned Carlita her first BBC Radio 1 Hottest Record, while ‘Manhattan,’ with SOFI TUKKER, became her first BBC Radio 1 B List record. Together, the releases have marked a significant new chapter for Carlita, carrying her club-rooted sound further into the pop landscape ahead of the album.
