Get ready to be immersed in a world of pop innovation as British trailblazer Charli XCX unleashes her full-length album film 'Music, Fashion, Film'! This game-changing visual companion to her recently released seventh studio album is an unmissable experience that's guaranteed to leave you breathless. Premiering yesterday, 24 July 2026, the self-directed masterpiece, aptly titled Charli xcx presents Music, Fashion, Film, is a stunning black-and-white odyssey that dives headfirst into the creative process behind this boundary-pushing record.
The film kicks off with Charli sharing her collaborative approach to the album, exclaiming, "Throughout this album process, I’ve been making things with my friends, and I’ve been loving every minute of it." She gives a huge shoutout to producers A.G. Cook and Finn Keane, dubbing them "two people that have become my close, close friends through working on music and creating things together" – and we can't help but feel the chemistry between them is infectious.
As you're taken on this whirlwind journey through fashion shoots, studio sessions, and London's vibrant streets, you'll be treated to full music-video sequences, candid behind-the-scenes moments, and Charli's own personal introductions to each track. The standout segments are as mesmerising as they are thought-provoking – like when Charli talks about the transformative power of new clothes in 'Card Declined', or the complex relationship between performer and lens in 'Camera', featuring a show-stopping Aidan Zamiri-directed music video starring Vincent Cassel.
The film builds up to its emotional crescendo with 'No One Lasts Forever', an unforgettable collaboration with acclaimed director David Cronenberg. Charli shares her conversation with Cronenberg, which delved into profound themes of death, art, and the pursuit of a lasting legacy – a truly mind-blowing experience that leaves you questioning everything.
The 'Music, Fashion, Film' album, produced by Charli, Cook, and Keane, boasts an impressive tracklist featuring previously released singles like 'Rock Music', 'SS26', 'Wink Wink', and 'Camera'. This release marks a triumphant return to form for Charli, following the success of her 2024 album 'Brat' – although she's also made waves with the soundtrack for Emerald Fennell’s film Wuthering Heights. Don't miss your chance to experience this masterpiece live as Charli XCX takes to the stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago next Friday, 31 July!
Now, get ready to immerse yourself in this audio-visual revolution that's redefining the boundaries of pop music and artistic expression. 'Music, Fashion, Film' is a must-watch for any fan of Charli XCX – or anyone looking for a truly unforgettable experience.
