Charli XCX Expands New Album With a Self-Directed Film

Charli XCX has released a self-directed film to accompany her new album, Music, Fashion, Film, giving fans a closer look at the ideas behind the project. Unveiled alongside the album on July 24, 2026, the film blends music videos, studio footage, fashion imagery, and behind-the-scenes moments captured around London. Rather than following a traditional documentary format, it moves between performance, visual storytelling, and creative process. Charli also discusses the thinking behind several songs and shows how music, style, and cinema connect across the album. The result is designed as an extension of the record, with each section adding more context to its sound and visual identity. The film reflects the increasingly close relationship between pop releases and visual media. For Charli, it also offers a direct way to present the album on her own terms, combining music and image into one complete project.
