"It’s not creatively rewarding for me to make the same thing twice," British pop star says of her Brat follow-up
Charli XCX‘s new album Music, Fashion, Film has arrived, and unlike the lyrics of “SS26” suggest, it might save us after all.
Music, Fashion, Film spans 11 tracks, clocking in at just over 30 minutes. It features her previously released singles “Rock Music” (b side: “I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night“), “SS26” (b side: “Playboy Bunny“), “Wink Wink,” and “Camera” (b side: “If You Take Away the Music Then What Has She Got”). The final track, “No One Lasts Forever,” features director David Cronenberg.
In her recent Rolling Stone cover story, Charli spoke about the new album, following up the massive success of Brat, and her burgeoning acting career (she also toured Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles). “All of my albums work in opposites,” she said. “They repel against each other, and that’s the connective tissue. I knew when I was making it that I was never going to make that record again. It’s not creatively rewarding for me to make the same thing twice.”
