Carlita released Telepathy, her second album, on November 6, 2026, via Ninja Tune. Across 13 tracks, the Turkish-Italian producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist brings pop songwriting into her club sound, with Justine Skye and SOFI TUKKER among the collaborators.
The follow-up to Sentimental takes its name from Carlita’s idea that thinking about someone or something can be enough to bring it into your life. That idea runs through an album about the things people communicate without speaking, from the pull of an old memory to the feeling that two people are thinking the same thing. The release follows Carlita’s September album announcement, which arrived alongside “One More Dance.”
Carlita’s ‘Telepathy’ Brings Pop Songwriting to the Dancefloor
Justine Skye joins Carlita on “WYWD,” the first full track after the album’s intro. “Manhattan,” her collaboration with SOFI TUKKER, sits alongside “One More Dance” with Stevie Appleton and “Patchwork” with Paige Cavell. The record also brings in Malive and jasper.wav on “Solar Skin,” while Kosmo Kint features on the closing track, “Tame My Love.”
Watch Carlita and SOFI TUKKER’s official “Manhattan” video on Carlita’s YouTube channel.
At 42 minutes, Telepathy moves quickly between collaborations and solo cuts. “Pablo,” “Helado” and “Disco Lady” give Carlita room to work without a guest, while the vocal collaborations put melody and songwriting closer to the centre of the record.
The Visual World Behind ‘Telepathy’
Creative director Pedro Damasceno shaped the album’s visual direction, with Rafael Pavarotti shooting the cover and album photography. The imagery draws on magical realism to give a visual form to the connections Carlita describes in the music.
The project extends a relationship with fashion that Carlita has developed through her Senza Fine event series, which brings music, art and fashion together around New York Fashion Week. Follow Carlita on Instagram for updates from the artist.
