Charli XCX unveils never-before-seen glimpses of track \u2018Rock Music\u2019<\/p>\n Charli XCX unveils never-before-seen glimpses of track \u2018Rock Music\u2019<\/p>\n
Charli XCX has given fans a brief teaser of her upcoming studio album.<\/p>\n
In the black-and-white clip filmed back in October, she\u2019s seen in a Paris studio with A.G. Cook and Finn Keane, who are also her collaborators on 2024\u2019s Brat, working on a new song called Rock Music.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be cool if we could have a song that was called Rock Music,\u201d she says, before workshopping potential sounds. <\/p>\n
The video then shows an iPhone notes page where Charli is mapping out lyrics for the track. It reads, \u201cMe and my friends\/ We go out\/ We take pictures together\/ We sometimes cry\/ We kiss each other inc*stous vibes.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the caption, the Speed Drive hitmaker wrote, \u201ca video of me making a song called \u201crock music\u201d that is not actually rock music which is funny because i never said i was making a rock album. love you xx\u201d<\/p>\n
It comes after her team confirmed that she was finishing work on her new album last month, while Charli herself implied the next release would be going in a rock direction. In an interview with Vogue, she declared, \u201cI think the dance floor is dead, so now we\u2019re making rock music\u201d.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the piece, she also explained why she was determined not to make \u201cBrat 2.0.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cIf I\u2019d made another album that felt more dance-leaning, it would have felt really hard, really sad,\u201d she confessed. \u201cWhat\u2019s interesting for me is to bend the possibilities of what my perspective on that could be\u201d.<\/p>\n
Charli XCX\u2019s last studio album was 2024\u2019s Brat, the release which became a cultural phenomenon, giving rise to \u201cBrat Summer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charli XCX unveils never-before-seen glimpses of track \u2018Rock Music\u2019 Charli XCX has given fans a brief teaser of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":409024,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,157,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-409023","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409023","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409023"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409023\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/409024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409023"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409023"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409023"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
