To the surprise of many, Charli announced Music, Fashion, Film last month by posting its striking cover on Instagram, featuring a black-and-white photo of John Cale, Marc Jacobs ,and Martin Scorsese to represent each aspect of the title.
“My new album Music, Fashion, Film is out july 24th,” Charli wrote in the caption. “11 songs, 30 minutes, 5 seconds. available to pre order now, love you xx.”
She’s already offered fans several tastes of the album through the singles “Rock Music”, “Wink Wink”, and “SS26”.
The title is taken from the lyrics of the latter, in which Charli sings: “We’re walkin’ on a runway that goes straight to hell / Nothing’s gonna save us, not music, fashion or film.”
Charli will tour in support of her album after its release, with a 12-date North American arena run confirmed for later this year.
Back in April, Charli told Vogue that she was changing her sound. “If I’d made another album that felt more dance-leaning, it would have felt really hard, really sad,” she told the publication, “but what’s interesting for me is to bend the possibilities of what my perspective on that could be.”
