Charli XCX said she is not a snob about movies during an interview promoting her upcoming album, “Music, Fashion, Film” [1].
The comments highlight the intersection of cinema and sound in the artist's latest creative era. As she prepares to release a project explicitly referencing film, her approach to cinema reflects the eclectic nature of her musical production.
Speaking with Rolling Stone Senior Writer Angie Martoccio at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, the singer said her viewing habits are varied [1]. The interview took place for a cover-story issue originally scheduled for July or August 2024 [1].
“I'm definitely not a snob when it comes to movies. My taste is all over the place,” Charli XCX said [2]. She said she enjoys when other people recommend films to her, reinforcing that her preferences are not limited to a specific genre or prestige level [2].
The conversation served to clarify misconceptions regarding the themes of her new album. By discussing her growing interest in the medium, the artist connected her personal consumption of film to the conceptual framework of her upcoming music [1].
Charli XCX used the setting of the historic Los Angeles cemetery to reflect on the artistic influences shaping her current work. The discussion centered on how a wide range of visual storytelling informs her approach to fashion, and audio [1].
““I'm definitely not a snob when it comes to movies. My taste is all over the place.””
The artist's emphasis on a non-elitist approach to cinema suggests that her upcoming album, “Music, Fashion, Film,” may draw from a broad spectrum of pop culture rather than exclusively high-art references. This aligns with her established brand of blending underground club sounds with mainstream pop sensibilities.
