Charli XCX Music, Fashion, Film rollout continues
Entities: Music, Fashion, Film (album) · David Cronenberg · Charli XCX · Marc Jacobs · Martin Scorsese
Overview
Charli XCX’s seventh studio album, *Music, Fashion, Film*, arrived on 24 July 2026 and was followed by a digital deluxe B‑sides edition on iTunes on 26 July 2026 for $4.99. The three added tracks—“I Keep on Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night,” “Playboy Bunny,” and “If You Take the Music Then What Has She Got?”—each receive a black‑and‑white video. After fan pressure, Charli admitted on Instagram that she had initially opposed streaming the B‑sides, calling herself a “hypocrite.”
The album’s cover features John Cale, Marc Jacobs and Martin Scorsese, with a cameo vocal by David Cronenberg in the accompanying 42‑minute visual film. To promote the release, Charli staged a pop‑up event in Los Angeles on 24 July, performing in black micro shorts, gold sailor‑style buttons, patent‑leather peep‑toe stilettos and a Cartier watch.
A concise North‑American arena leg kicks off on 11 September 2026 in Philadelphia and will pass through Brooklyn, Toronto, Boston, Washington D.C., Atlanta, San Diego, Los Angeles, Glendale and Las Vegas, alongside festival slots at Lollapalooza and Outside Lands. Vogue interviews, additional pop‑up shows and the full‑length visual film continue to support the rollout.
