Charli XCX Teases 'Rock Music' In Paris Studio Clip, Says Track Isn't Actually Rock

The teaser hints at a post-Brat shift with the new album nearing completion.

Overview

  • Charli XCX posted a black-and-white video Saturday from Paris sessions with A.G. Cook and Finn Keane that teases a song titled “Rock Music.”
  • The clip shows her workshopping sounds and a phone notes page with draft lyrics, including the line “We kiss each other incestous vibes.”
  • In the caption, she says the song is “not actually rock music” and notes she never said she was making a rock album.
  • Her team said last month she is finishing the next album, and there is no title or release date yet.
  • In an April Vogue piece, she said she wanted to avoid another dance-leaning record after Brat and floated a rock turn, even as the new post keeps the genre lines loose.
