Over the past couple of months, Charli XCX has been teasing a new album and shared the singles ‘Rock Music’ and ‘SS26’. My guess was that ‘SS26’ – more thoughts on that song soon – would be included on the pop star’s forthcoming record, while ‘Rock Music’ was more of a discourse-stirring one-off. It turns out both will be included on the just-announced Music, Fashion, Film, which will be released on July 24. That’s the artwork below: a black-and-white photo of John Cale, Marc Jacobs, and Martin Scorsese shot by frequent collaborator Aidan Zamiri.
According to Charli’s Instagram post, Music, Fashion, Film is “11 songs, 30 minutes, 5 seconds.” That’s a pretty sweet runtime that, to me, suggests the record may not be as portentous as its cover art and title.
Earlier this year, Charli XCX released her companion album for Emerald Fennell’s film adaptation of Wuthering Heights. The new album, of course, will serve as her proper follow-up to BRAT.
