Charli XCX Drops "Wink Wink" & Teases Wild Album "Music, Fashion, Film"!
Charli XCX's new single "Wink Wink" is here, packed with cheeky lyrics and an ironic vibe! Get ready for her genre-blurring album "Music, Fashion, Film" and upcoming tour dates.
Charli XCX has officially dropped her latest track, "Wink Wink," marking the third single from her highly anticipated upcoming album, "Music, Fashion, Film." The new song arrives with a signature blend of cheeky overtones and a deadpan delivery, setting a distinct tone that’s less serious than its predecessor, "SS26," and leans into the ironic style first heard in the album's lead single, "Rock Music."
The track doesn't shy away from provocative lyrics, with lines like, "I used to lick cream off strawberries in the summer/ And maybe I fucked your Dad," grabbing immediate attention. Over a lively alt-rock instrumental, Charli confidently declares in the chorus, "I'm not a bad girl anymore/ Wink wink, wink wink," playing on themes of perception and rebellion.
Her seventh studio album, "Music, Fashion, Film," is slated for release on July 24th, following up on her 2024 success with "Brat." Charli XCX recently elaborated on the new record in a Rolling Stone cover story, explaining that while initially described as a "rock album," it's more accurately a genre-blurring project. She stated that the album is deeply shaped by her post-"Brat" headspace, promising a fresh and experimental sound.
Fans can also check out the official music video for "Wink Wink," directed by the visionary Aidan Zamiri, which perfectly complements the song's playful and audacious spirit.
Beyond the new music, Charli XCX is gearing up for a busy touring schedule. She's set to headline major festivals including Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and Austin City Limits. Additionally, she'll embark on her "Music, Fashion, Film Tour," a 12-date North American arena run, kicking off in September. Fans across the continent will have multiple opportunities to experience her new material live.
