Misfit"Making xcx8 in a fresh setting made music feel alive again: working in a tight unit and preserving a rough demo-like quality to her voice – her trademark Auto-Tune is all but gone – and Cook’s guitar. “We were doing our version of a***ogue, which is so silly and funny,” she says lovingly, “but putting it through our lens, and making sure that nothing felt too macho, was important.”
The new album’s creators are all well aware of the tension that comes with going guitar-centric. Charli sees humour in it, a quality she needs in art. “For me, it’s fun to flip the form. We know there’s gonna be people who are bothered by it, but that’s fine.” The song about the dance floor being dead is going to spark some really boring thinkpieces, though, I tell her. “I know,” she says, grimacing.
Last year, accepting the Ivor Novello songwriter of the year award for Brat, Charli said: “I’m sure you all agree, I am hardly Bob Dylan, but one thing I certainly do is commit to the bit.” Her brusque observations mean any reinvention is never a whole-cloth pop star rebirth, but remains intrinsically her. “I’d always rather have a style than be vague,” she says now. “Which is the biggest crime, in my opinion.” The album’s existence embodies that commitment. “It’s looking for this intensity,” Cook says. “It’s not just this flex of, ‘Oh, I did this other album.’ She’s really responding to a feeling that a lot of people have in 2026 of there being so much, almost too much. What do you hold onto? I’m inspired by seeing how she’s so ready to do that rather than take it easy.”

In early March, Charli finally appears on Zoom one LA morning, unmade-up in a hoodie. She didn’t make it to Japan in the end. “I missed my flight, so I go on Sunday,” she says, her voice gravelly. “It’s been a bit of a nightmare, to be honest.” We talk for a moment about the stress of prepping the Miike film while finishing xcx8. She starts to cry and ends the call. Ten minutes later, she’s back on. “I’m sorry about that,” she says. “I’m overwhelmed and emotional, but I’m ready to go.” She describes herself as “absolutely at capacity”. She isn’t a self-care person, but knows she needs to learn how to be. “My body isn’t handling it very well,” she says, mushing her eyes. “As long as I’m making something, I feel OK,” though her relationship with her work seems as much the beast that feeds as takes away: the perennial Charli paradox.
She stresses that the next album – with its insular focus and tight-knit creation – is the reset she needed after the hype around Brat strayed so far beyond the music. “It made me crave something opposite. Getting back to something more internal is really nice,” she says softly, “and really sort of quiet.”

lowkey, if the rock sound is anything like Thy Slaughter (AG Cook + Finn Keane) then I am in
Charli is even featured on their album
