Charli XCX Announces Seventh Album Music, Fashion, Film for July 24

Her surprise social-media reveal signals a shift away from Brat’s dance-pop toward a multimedia era that links new music to fashion and film.

Overview

  • Charli shared the album cover and details on Instagram, saying Music, Fashion, Film will have 11 tracks and run 30 minutes and five seconds, with pre-orders now open.
  • The black-and-white cover was shot by Aidan Zamiri and features John Cale, Marc Jacobs and Martin Scorsese as visual stand-ins for the album’s three pillars.
  • Two preview singles, “Rock Music” and “SS26,” are confirmed on the record and have prompted lively debate online about the singer’s move toward guitar-tinged, genre-blending material.
  • The announcement follows a busy stretch of film and soundtrack work for Charli, including a Wuthering Heights score that involved John Cale and several recent acting projects.
  • Fans should watch for the full tracklist and reviews ahead of the July 24 release, plus summer festival appearances that will showcase the new era and its exclusive B-side releases.
