  1. Not another ‘Brat Summer’: Charli xcx steps into a new, grittier era with her guitar-heavy project, ‘Music, Fashion, Film,’ out tomorrow

    Charli xcx wasn’t planning on releasing new music so soon. In the two years since she dropped Brat,…

  2. Charli XCX set to cover a lot of ground on her new album, and with the Triple-A access she’s had to all the cool parties, we just know the cameos and references on this one are going to be masssssssive

    Calling all music lovers, fashionistas, and film buffs: Charlie XCX’s new album is almost out and it’s called…

    That’s not the cover art (although one might consider it a step-up in graphiques from brat’s ghastly san serif-afflicted title. No, the cover art of Charli’s new album is way spunkier. We just thought we’d lift the bottom left corner of one of the ol’ collector editions of Cream, because those subject always came first in our book. Well, our magazine. And when I say our, I’m meaning it like the old queen Elizabeth (may she rest in peace in the windy moors of Heaven shooting elk and the like), this queen often likes to go ‘we’ instead of ‘me’. Plus it makes the magazine look a whole lot bigger and busier, with lots of music critics, fashion stylists and art afficionados running the shop. People that look like the people in the front row of the fashion show in Charli’s clever-as-fuck video clip for the song SS26. Which happens to feature on her new album…

    That’s not the artwork either, just some more fun cut’n’pastiche. And we/I do love a bit of cut’n’pastiche. There, I’ve said it twice and I hope the term flows into the mainstream because it’s half cool / half critical / all right now. Why not mix things up, I say to Charli’s clever album title. The bottom line is music is necessary, fashion is fun, and film is dying in the arse in the cinemas but sure as hell (and dark and spooky and fantastical and drug-inflected and then sobre again but generally) brilliant on all those dandy new streaming channels (all 10,756 of them globally – I made that figure up because I can and because I am we, and we are all in agreement that it is a frigging brilliant name for a pop/rock LP. Only the real album art has got to look better than this zoomed in, pixellated, but beatifully, elegantly fonted…

    But enough about aesthetics, they’re easy to discard on a whim, what really sticks in the minds of the good people of The Culture is quality…

    Woah, what happend there? What’s that? That’s rude. That can’t be shown. Zoom out and you’ll see its a wee young Britney Spears photographed for the cover of Cream back when you might have been a toddler. She certainly doesn’t look much out of high school herself. That was a pretty cover that, a fresh-faced, new-to-the-scene Britney photographed by my New York mate Mike Ruiz, totally in school girl attire because (a) it tied in nicely with the …Baby One More Time video. The look probably roped in a few pedophile readers. Those dirty fucking bastards. They should be shot. There, I said it. Speaking of violence, I’m hoping Charli’s new videos for single after single that are sure to be lifted off…

    I love the black boot in this one. It’s giving me Ramones vibes but with a classic ballet feel with those flowy laces. Kylie looked fantastic on this cover – an issue dedicated soley to film. Cream had to straddling a couple of big film equipment crates. Like she was both director and lead actor of a movie being made. A flick with plenty of fab…

    Steady on, there’s a lot of detail in that detail shot. Too much white on the left of it. It’s looking like a Scritti Politti record cover. Provisions. Good album that. And speaking of good albums, we/I are guessing that Charli XCX’s new one is going to be frigging excellent. It might even be epic. If there’s irony and guitar in more of the tracks (love Rock Music). Heck, if six strings are good enough for Chemical Brothers to have injected into some of their greatest songs, they should be used more to round out the same ol’, same ol’ tinny sounds choking the charts today. So, what do we/I think we’ll be hearing on…

    I am hoping for loads of clever references to aspects of all three of those bastions of pop culture. I’m wanting disses to the dumb bitches on the scene, shout-outs to the cooler ones (Julia is still out, isn’t she, so please don’t include her). Chloe again, I hope. I still listen to her spoken word over Soulwax’s Heaven Scent practically on a daily basis. It’s meditative, you know. On the fashion front for the new album…

    I’m hoping for lots of references to the faux pas of the industry, because it really can be a schmozzle when you’re at the right after-show party and something goes drastically wrong. Once, I was at the ARIA awards in Sydney and as my photographer and I were going up the steps to next level, we caught darling frontwoman Chrissie Amphlett drunk and curled up in a corner pushing her hand out to the air as if she were swatting paparazzi away. The odd thing was there was nobody in front of her. Maybe it was a mosquito. But that was wonderful Chrissue for you (may the rock goddess rest in peace). So, yes, fashion faux pas, and some juicy goss, please. Tidbits of info spilling the beans on what a dirty, dirty industry it is. And for film – well, if there aren’t enough references on the new Charli album to satisfy me, I’m just going to take tracks and sample the best quotes out of classic films and make new versions of the songs. Because, like Charli, I love to mix up…

    So, that’s what I’d like to hear on the new album, but the kids might like something else. But I know Charli’s gotten better taste and an ever-changing styles in all three areas…

    We had to redact the dirty pedo’s name, in retrospect it doesn’t sit well between Kylie and Catatonia.

    So, here we are in the year 2026 where art and inspiration are everywhere, all around us, at the touch of an app on our mobile phone, at the click of a mouse at our desktop computers, on cable, commercial and stream TV, not so much in the clubs because at time of writing the music there was rather reptitive and relentless. Otherwise, all the influences are out there – you’ve just to pick and choose, cut and paste if you will, the right ones and make supermashes that end up being uniquely you. It’s a mixed-up, muddle-up, shook-up world out there, Baby, so make sure you make the most of all the best there is of…

    Now that’s a cool record cover. Three iconic dudes who are hopefully helping to put the Arts back on the right tracks. Pictured left to right, John Cale, Marc Jacobs, and Martin Scorcese. Welcome the new music, fashion and film renaissance. But they’re not new, I hear you say. Yes, but the masters will help steer us in the right direction.

  7. Peel Slowly

    Released on March 12, 1967, panned by critics and a colossal failure sales-wise, The Velvet Underground and Nico has become one of the most influential and important rock albums in popular music history. By 2002, it ranked #13 on Rolling Stone's 500 greatest albums of all time. In 2006, it was added to the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress. #TheVelvetUnderground #60srock #altrock #alternativerock #andywarhol #classicrock #johncale

  10. La banda sonora de la película Cumbres Borrascosas a cargo de Charli XCX –una artista que yo conozco bien poco–. Esperaba un disco mucho más pop, pero tiene momentos muy oscuros, en particular la colaboración con John Cale. Me llamó gratamente la atención.

    «Wuthering Heights»

  12. I stumbled on Pitchfork's review of Inside the #DreamSyndicate, Vol. I: Day of Niagara and decided to give it a listen.

    I was very surprised a) to find how poppy and upbeat it sounded, and b) to find it had very clear vocals

    It turns out that I had Tidal running in another tab and that it had turned on autoplay, so I had #BrianEno and #JohnCale's Empty Frame playing at the same time.

    Highly recommended - sorry about the YT links but I didn't have a better way to share both:

  18. Charli XCX et John Cale unissent leurs forces pour le titre gothique « House »

    Charli XCX revient sur le devant de la scène avec “House”, une collaboration envoûtante avec John Cale. Ce morceau sombre et cinématographique accompagne la bande originale du film Wuthering Heights d’Emerald Fennell, attendu en février 2026.

    Une transformation artistique pour Charli XCX

    De la pop futuriste à une atmosphère gothique

    Charli XCX, connue pour ses sons pop audacieux et ses performances électrisantes, explore un univers musical plus sombre et poétique avec “House”. Ce titre, sa première sortie en plus d’un an, se distingue par une ambiance troublante qui évoque l’atmosphère dramatique du roman classique d’Emily Brontë. L’artiste britannique troque les lumières néon des clubs pour un décor de chandelles et d’ombres mouvantes, offrant à son public une expérience sensorielle inédite.

    Publicités

    Une rencontre créative avec John Cale

    L’inspiration de Charli pour ce projet provient de la phrase “élégant et brutal”, tirée du documentaire sur The Velvet Underground réalisé par Todd Haynes, où Cale décrivait le son du groupe. Cette notion a guidé la création de “House”, et a conduit Charli à collaborer directement avec le légendaire musicien. Leur échange artistique a donné naissance à un morceau où la poésie sombre de Cale se mêle aux instincts futuristes de Charli, créant un résultat à la fois hypnotique et dramatique.

    “House” : une plongée cinématographique

    Un clip visuel marquant

    Le morceau est accompagné d’un clip dirigé par Mitch Ryan, déjà à l’origine de “Party 4 U” de Charli. La vidéo s’apparente à un cauchemar onirique : de la cire de chandelle s’écoule sur la peau de Charli, des corbeaux se déplacent au ralenti, tandis que les ombres mouvantes intensifient la sensation de tension et de mystère. La narration parlée de John Cale, évoquant un spectre hantant la demeure, confère au titre une dimension théâtrale unique.

    Publicités

    Une composition musicale complexe

    “House” se caractérise par un mélange de cordes, de distorsion et de tension sonore, créant un paysage gothique où la voix de Charli s’élève sur des synthétiseurs modernes. L’ensemble évoque une esthétique musicale comparable à Lana Del Rey dans un château hanté, remixé par FKA Twigs. L’interaction entre l’avant-garde des années 1960 de Cale et l’approche pop contemporaine de Charli illustre une conversation entre deux générations d’expérimentation musicale.

    Une collaboration inattendue, mais harmonieuse

    La complémentarité des artistes

    Bien que John Cale, âgé de 82 ans, puisse surprendre en duo avec Charli XCX, leur alchimie est indéniable. La narration poétique de Cale apporte un poids et une profondeur qui s’harmonisent parfaitement avec les textures synthétiques et modernes de Charli. Ce mélange de générations et de styles illustre la capacité de la musique à transcender les époques, alliant avant-garde et viralité contemporaine.

    Publicités

    Une ouverture vers le cinéma et de nouveaux projets

    Charli XCX ne se limite pas à ce seul titre : elle prépare plusieurs morceaux originaux pour la bande originale de Wuthering Heights, dont la sortie est prévue le 14 février 2026. Par ailleurs, elle entame un parcours plus vaste dans le cinéma, notamment avec un rôle dans The Moment produit par A24, ainsi que d’autres projets via sa société de production Studio365. Cette démarche souligne sa volonté de se diversifier et de repousser les frontières de son expression artistique.

    John Cale : une créativité intacte

    Une carrière toujours florissante

    John Cale, malgré ses 82 ans, continue de surprendre par sa créativité. Son dix-huitième album studio, Poptical Illusion, est sorti en 2024 et confirme son statut de figure majeure de l’avant-garde musicale. Sa collaboration avec Charli XCX témoigne de sa capacité à rester pertinent et à inspirer de nouvelles générations d’artistes.

    Publicités

    Un pont entre époques et styles

    La rencontre entre Charli XCX et John Cale illustre la richesse des collaborations intergénérationnelles. L’ancien membre de The Velvet Underground et la pop star contemporaine créent ensemble une œuvre qui mêle audace, poésie et modernité, offrant aux auditeurs un morceau à la fois intemporel et résolument actuel.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgp7wlBfASA

    “House” marque un tournant dans la carrière de Charli XCX, qui s’aventure pour la première fois dans un registre gothique et cinématographique. La collaboration avec John Cale apporte profondeur et gravité à un morceau déjà chargé d’émotions. Les fans de musique et de cinéma pourront découvrir ce mariage unique de talents à l’occasion de la sortie du film Wuthering Heights en février 2026.
