Our Take On Charli xcx's New Album, 'Music, Fashion, Film'

Pop's favourite provocateur Charli xcx is back - not that she ever went away - with a host of ‘anti-marketing marketing’ launch her seventh studio album 'Music, Fashion, Film'.

This week, hosts Ione and Gina get to grips with Charli’s indie influenced new sound, the connotations of her cultural commentary and how the music tracks as a follow up to her beloved 'brat'.
