Charli XCX<\/a>\u2019s latest single \u201cWink Wink\u201d is here.<\/p>\n The song also received the music video treatment. The clip is directed by Charli\u2019s longtime collaborator Aidan Zamiri and features creative direction by another of the singer\u2019s frequent collaborators<\/a>, Imogene Strauss. In the song, Charli promises she\u2019s no longer \u201ca bad girl\u201d \u2014 a promise she then mitigates with the titular eye movement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWink Wink\u201d follows the pop star\u2019s previous singles, \u201cRock Music\u201d and \u201cSS26.\u201d All three tracks are set to appear on her forthcoming album, Music, Fashion Film<\/em>.<\/p>\n The LP, slated to arrive on July 24, follows a whirlwind year that saw Charli score Emerald Fennell\u2019s\u00a0Wuthering Heights<\/em>\u00a0film, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, and appear in her own movie, A24\u2019s The Moment<\/em>, also directed by Zamiri.<\/p>\n The 33-year-old discussed crossing over from music to film during a conversation at the Berlin Film Festival in February.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you release art into the world, and it reaches a wide audience, and in my case, this was the widest audience I ever reached,\u201d she said of her last album, 2024\u2019s Brat<\/em><\/a>, per<\/a> The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe work begins to sort of morph and change in its meaning,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd obviously that\u2019s just what comes with releasing art, period. But I\u2019d never experienced it at the scale before, and it left me sort of thinking a lot about how we communicate art, at what point art leaves your own hands and goes into the audience\u2019s hands, how that makes you feel as a creator.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI also think I am quite an emotional and volatile artist,\u201d she added, \u201cas I think many artists are. And I found elements of that journey quite difficult. I just felt that making this film, in a way, was a way of me not only commenting on art and the longevity, [the] lifespan of art, but also dealing with my experience, my very personal experience as an artist, and how I felt in the industry in the music industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
