Charlie XCX: new single "Wink Wink" out now – Watch the video. Meanwhile, peace returns with Madonna

Less than a month before the release of her new album “Music, Fashion, Film“, due out on July 24th, Charli XCX has released her new single “Wink Wink”, along with its official video.
Announced out of the blue just an hour before its release, the track comes with a video directed by Aidan Zamiri. In the clip, the British singer moves through countryside landscapes and everyday scenes: picking and eating strawberries in a field, cleaning huge glass windows and walking across rooftops, all while singing about having left the “bad girl” image behind her.

“Wink Wink” is the third track lifted from “Music, Fashion, Film”, following the singles “Rock Music” and “SS26”. The new songs confirm the artist's intent to broaden her musical language, pushing beyond the dance-pop sound that made her famous.
After the album's release, Charli XCX will bring the new material to the stage with an arena tour and a string of headline slots at some of the major US festivals, including Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and Austin City Limits.

Meanwhile, Charli XCX and Madonna have put to rest once and for all the rumors of alleged frostiness between them that surfaced in recent months. The two artists were seen together in Paris, sitting side by side in the front row of Saint Laurent's Spring/Summer 2027 menswear show, where they were spotted chatting with great warmth before the event began.
The rapport continued at the after-party too. Charli XCX and Madonna were spotted behind the DJ booth dancing to some classics from the Queen of Pop's catalogue, including “Thief Of Hearts” and “Hung Up”, alongside longtime members of her entourage, such as actress Debi Mazar.

The meeting seems to definitively put to rest the small controversy that arose last month following the release of “Rock Music”, Charli XCX's single previewing her new album “Music, Fashion, Film”, due out July 24th. In the track, the British singer had stirred debate with the line: “I think the dancefloor is dead, so now we're making rock music”. A line many read as a jab at dance music, one that hadn't gone unnoticed by Madonna, who was busy at the time promoting “Confessions II”, the intended follow-up to her 2005 classic “Confessions On A Dance Floor”. The popstar had fired back with an equally sharp retort: “Se la tua pista da ballo sembra morta, forse stai suonando la musica sbagliata”.
