Move aside, Brat: Charli XCX has announced her next album, Music, Fashion, Film, is coming July 24.
The pop superstar released the news via Instagram on Monday, adding that the upcoming record will be comprised of 11 songs. It is exactly 30 minutes and five seconds long.
Music, Fashion, Film will include the previously released tracks “SS26” and “Rock Music.” The artwork for the album cover is shot by Aidan Zamiri with John Cale, Marc Jacobs and acclaimed filmmaker Martin Scorsese on the cover.
The Grammy-winning Brit is coming off the back of a whirlwind 2026 already, having scored Emerald Fennell’s buzzy Wuthering Heights movie with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, and even starring in her own film, A24’s The Moment, directed by Zamiri.
The self-proclaimed film buff told the Berlin Film Festival in February that she’s keen to keep up that crossover from music to movies as her career progresses.
“When you release art into the world, and it reaches a wide audience, and in my case, this was the widest audience I ever reached,” she said about Brat, the album that made her a cultural icon with songs 365,” “Von Dutch,” and “Girl, so confusing.”
“The work begins to sort of morph and change in its meaning,” she continued. “And obviously that’s just what comes with releasing art, period. But I’d never experienced it at the scale before, and it left me sort of thinking a lot about how we communicate art, at what point art leaves your own hands and goes into the audience’s hands, how that makes you feel as a creator.”
“I also think I am quite an emotional and volatile artist,” she confessed, “as I think many artists are. And I found elements of that journey quite difficult. I just felt that making this film, in a way, was a way of me not only commenting on art and the longevity, [the] lifespan of art, but also dealing with my experience, my very personal experience as an artist, and how I felt in the industry in the music industry.”
Music, Fashion, Film will be the star’s seventh studio album.
