The Von Dutch hitmaker has a passion for all three sectors and has been involved in a string of movie projects, including her soundtrack album for Wuthering Heights and her Brat mocumentary The Moment, alongside upcoming roles in I Want Your Sex, The Gallerist, and Faces of Death.
The album artwork features a trio of heavy‑hitters: Velvet Underground legend John Cale, fashion designer Marc Jacobs, and filmmaker Martin Scorsese, signalling Charli's intention to blur the lines between pop, style and cinema.
Her new material has already stirred conversation. On the glitch‑driven Rock Music, Charli declares: "I think the dancefloor is dead," a line that instantly split listeners.
Meanwhile, SS26 sees her leaning into apocalyptic fashion satire, singing: "Spring Summer 26 / When the world is gonna end no hope for any of it / Yeah we're walking on a runway that goes straight to hell / Nothing's gonna save us not music fashion or film."
She also appears to poke fun at celebrity PR culture, dropping lines about "being hacked," "context," and crafting the perfect Notes App apology.
Responding to the intense discourse, Charli compared the reaction to the early days of PC Music and her 2016 Vroom Vroom EP.
"Seeing all the different reactions to my song Rock Music has been really interesting… it reminds us of the initial discourse around pc music."
She added that she loves when art sparks conversation, saying things can be "funny, earnest, sincere and joyful all at the same time."
