Music, for me, has always been a direct door to get to a dreamstate.”Check out our full interview below, where Owens tells NME about the universe of ‘Dreamstate’, exploring lyrics with Charli XCX, her expanded team of collaborators on the album (including Bicep, The Chemical Brothers’ Tom Rowlands and George Daniel) as well as her time touring with Depeche Mode and the musical influence of Madonna’s seminal ‘Ray of Light’ – the latter was something she simply “could not get away from”.NME: Hey Kelly.

Taylor Swift has hailed Charli XCX despite recent fan theories that the latter dissed her on two recent tracks.Earlier this month, XCX and Billie Eilish joined forces on a new remix of ‘Brat’ deluxe edition track ‘Guess’, with Swift fans suspecting that one of the lines towards the end was a subtle jab at the fellow pop icon, seemingly because she blocked her from the Number One spot on the UK album charts.In June, XCX was also accused of dissing Swift on the track ‘Sympathy Is A Knife’, which contained a line saying: “Don’t want to see you backstage at my boyfriend’s show”. This was seen by some fans as being about the singer as XCX is engaged to the 1975’s George Daniel, and Swift had a brief romance with the band’s frontman Matty Healy.Despite that, speaking to Vulture as part of a profile of XCX, Swift said: “I’ve been blown away by Charli’s melodic sensibilities since I first heard ‘Stay Away’ in 2011.
