Just a few months after releasing her (criminally underrated) soundtrack album Wuthering Heights, our brat queen Charli xcx has officially announced her much-anticipated eighth studio album.
Titled Music, Fashion, Film, the new project will feature 11 tracks, including the previously released singles “Rock Music” and “SS26” — and no one can say she doesn’t keep her fans fed.
The pop superstar has been booked and busy this year, creating the soundtracks for both Emerald Fennell’s romance film Wuthering Heights and David Lowery’s thriller Mother Mary alongside Jack Antonoff. She’s also appeared in four (!!!) feature films, including The Gallerist, Faces of Death, I Want Your Sex and The Moment — which she produced and was based on her original story.
There’s a lot to keep up with in the Angels fandom, so let’s go through everything we know about the new album, shall we?
Who is featured on Charli xcx’s Music, Fashion, Film album cover?
Charli announced the album overnight by posting the cover on Instagram: a black-and-white photo of musician John Cale of the Velvet Underground, fashion designer Marc Jacobs and director Martin Scorsese, representing each aspect of the title.
The “Apple” hitmaker previously collaborated with Cale on her 2025 song “House” and has been a longtime fan of Scorsese, as her Letterboxd followers would know from her regular five-star reviews.
As for her connection to the fashion icon, she attended her first Marc Jacobs show in 2017 and has since collaborated with his brand several times, even starring in its summer 2024 ad campaign.
Meanwhile, the album title is taken from the lyrics of her latest single “SS26”, where she sings: “We’re walkin’ on a runway that goes straight to hell / Nothing’s gonna save us, not music, fashion or film.”
When is Charli xcx’s new album released?
The 11-track project is set to be released on July 24 — just one week before Ariana Grande’s eighth album, Petal — and will be 30 minutes and five seconds long, which is her shortest full-length album to date.
Charli is yet to announce the titles of the nine unreleased songs, although she has released B-sides to both “Rock Music” and “SS26” titled “I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night” and “Playboy Bunny”. Both tracks are exclusively available on vinyl and her aptly titled Instagram account @b.sides, but will likely find their place on the album.
It was first reported in April that Charli was back in the studio making new music, with her representatives telling Billboard in a statement that she was “finishing her forthcoming new studio album”.
Thankfully, we won’t have to wait too long until we have new Charli music in our ears, so let the Music, Fashion, Film summer begin!
