Charli XCX:\u00a0Wuthering Heights\u00a0[Atlantic]\"Charli<\/p>\n

When director Emerald Fennell needed to hire a musician to score her Wuthering Heights<\/a> adaptation, only one person came to mind: Charli XCX<\/a>. Not only did the British pop star accept the offer, but she used her soundtrack to capture love in all of its grandiose, moody, elusive ways. As she described the soundtrack on her Substack<\/a>, it\u2019s a \u201cdive into persona, into a world that felt undeniably raw, wild, sexual, gothic, British, tortured and full of actual real sentences, punctuation and grammar.\u201d<\/p>\n
