Charli XCX Drops Hotly Anticipated Single “Von dutch” as a Prelude to new Album Release
After weeks of tantalizing hints, Charli XCX has finally unveiled her latest musical creation, “Von dutch”.
The highly anticipated single, produced by Easyfun, arrives alongside a visually captivating music video filmed at France’s iconic Charles de Gaulle Airport, directed by Torso (Kali Uchis, Mahmood, Shakira, Nicki Minaj).
In the accompanying music video, she commandeers the bustling Charles de Gaulle airport, creating chaos as she navigates her way through the terminal and even finds herself circling the baggage claim like a piece of luggage.
Easyfun, known for his work on Charli XCX’s previous albums including “Number 1 Angel”, “Pop 2”, and “Charli”, as well as collaborations such as “Speed Drive” and a remix of “1999”, lends his signature style to “Von dutch”. In return, Charli XCX contributed to Easyfun and A. G. Cook’s debut album “Soft Rock” on the track “Heavy”.
Excitement reached a fever pitch yesterday as Charli XCX unveiled the title of her upcoming album: “brat”. Set to drop this summer, the new album promises to be a pulsating journey into the realm of club music. Charli describes it as the album she’s always dreamed of making, declaring, “I was born to make dance music… xcx6 is the album I’ve always wanted to make”.
This latest release marks Charli XCX’s first since “In The City” back in October, featuring Sam Smith.
Her previous album, “Crash”, which dropped in March 2022, presented a more conventional pop sound, featuring hits like “Good Ones”, “New Shapes”, and “Beg for You”.
Anticipation for “brat” continues to build, with Charli teasing that the album will consist of 15 tracks with a runtime of 41 minutes and 23 seconds. Collaborators such as A.G. Cook, Gesaffelstein, and Hudson Mohawke are expected to contribute to the album, promising an electrifying fusion of sound and style.
With “Von dutch” signaling her triumphant return to the music scene, Charli XCX is poised to once again captivate audiences with her infectious beats and boundary-pushing creativity. As fans eagerly await the arrival of “brat”, it’s clear that Charli XCX’s reign as pop royalty shows no signs of slowing down.
