Charli xcx joins Radio 1's Jack Saunders for an in-depth interview on her new album 'Music Fashion Film', and her imminent Reading & Leeds headline set. She goes in depth on the new album, from shooting the iconic cover - getting John Cale to "pop a shoulder" for the photoshoot - to rediscovering joy in making music: "Making mistakes is where you find something unique. But people are afraid to get it wrong," she tells Jack.
Refusing to be pigeonholed, the popstar says "I don’t think I’ll ever feel fully fulfilled - that’s human existence". She discusses her new record, why Love Island is her only way to truly unwind, and her near telepathic working relationship with A.G. Cook.
05:45 Album cover + the deadline to release ‘Music Fashion Film’ on vinyl
11:12 Not feeling fulfilled after ‘Brat’
20:20 ‘I’m Afraid’ - an outlier on the album that's inspired by Yung Lean
25:01 Writing ‘Yeah’ and Charli’s “only child moment”
27:15 Reading + Leeds, song segues and bringing back old songs
36:35 A.G. Cook and SOPHIE being the “first people who saw” Charli
39:50 Who is Charli chatting to in the Parisian apartment?
