Charli XCX just dropped a new track, \u201cPlayboy Bunny,\u201d which serves as the B-side to her latest single, \u201cSS26,\u201d which she released last week. But just like \u201cI Keep Thinking About You Every Single Day and Night,\u201d the B-side to her previous single, \u201cRock Music,\u201d \u201cPlayboy Bunny\u201d is only available on a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl and via the artist\u2019s B-sides-specific Instagram account<\/a>.<\/p>\n The B-side tracks will not be released on streaming platforms, and that\u2019s very deliberate. The artist explained the thought process behind the move, as well as the reason for releasing B-side tracks in the first place.<\/p>\n \u201cBasically, I made a record, and while making a record, I made a few songs that felt like a part of the world of the album, but I kind of knew they weren\u2019t ever going to be on the album,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, they became the sort of B-sides, I suppose. The things that were close to making it on the album, but are not going to be on there. And also, those songs are coupled with some of the songs that are coming out ahead of the album.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe reason that they\u2019re paired together, these two songs, are because, in ways, they\u2019re totally opposite from each other, and that is [kind] of the main point of them,\u201d Charli explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s sort of a mirror\u2026 there are specifically sonic things about it that are extremely opposite to \u2018SS26,\u2019 and I think that\u2019s what made it a good B-side, a good pair.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite releasing new material, the details surrounding her new album remain somewhat sparse. Charli has released deluxe and remix versions of 2024\u2019s BRAT<\/em>, a companion album for the film Wuthering Heights, as well as her mockumentary, The Moment, in January.<\/p>\n She will also headline several festivals this summer, including Chicago\u2019s Lollapalooza<\/a> on July 31, and the UK\u2019s Reading and Leeds on August 28 and 29, respectively.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\u201cThe B-sides are never going to go on streaming, I don\u2019t think. That could change, but right now I don\u2019t really think. [\u2026] I really just wanted them to live here, on [her B-sides Instagram account], and then also I will press each B-side to a 7-inch vinyl.\u201d<\/h4>\n
