Charli XCX’s New Album Mixes Music, Fashion and Film

Charli XCX is set to release a fresh collection of songs on July 24. The project, titled Music, Fashion, Film, promises a short run of eleven tracks that together last just over half an hour.

Cover Art Highlights Iconic Figures

Her Instagram post features cover art that spotlights three famous figures:

• John Cale – music
• Marc Jacobs – fashion
• Martin Scorsese – film

Tracks Already Released

Two tracks have already been shared:

• “Rock Music” – a departure from her usual electronic pop toward a rock‑style sound, featuring heavy guitar riffs and the line “the dance floor is dead.” Critics and listeners had mixed feelings about this shift.
• “SS26” – a hint at the upcoming Spring‑Summer 2026 season, accompanied by a video where Charli walks an X‑shaped runway, singing about walking toward danger.

In an interview, she explained that creating another dance‑focused album would feel “really hard” and “sad.” She also clarified that she never intended to produce a full rock album.

Other Projects in 2024

• Soundtrack: Wuthering Heights (released February) for the film of the same name.
• Acting & Producing: Played a fictional version of herself in the mockumentary The Moment, praised for blending music and meme culture.
• Film Appearances: Recently appeared in a remake of Faces of Death and will join the casts of two upcoming films:
• An erotic comedy by Gregg Araki
• A thriller about art by Cathy Yan
