Charli XCX Doesn’t See Herself ‘Making Music Forever,’ As She’d Like To Flex Her ‘Creative Muscles On Other Areas’

All of the talk is about the song of the summer , but Charli XCX might just have the album of the summer for 2024 with Brat . The project has demonstrated some staying power since its early June release, but speaking of sticking around (or not): Charli herself can see herself getting out of the music business in the future.

In a recent interview with The Sun ( as NME notes ), Charli said, “I would like to flex my creative muscles on other areas. I don’t envisage myself making music forever. Maybe I will in some capacity, but I just feel like there are other creative areas I really want to explore.”

One of those “other creative areas” might be acting: She’s set to make her acting debut in a remake of the 1970s horror film Faces Of Death , and she said of that, “I was a fan of the original movie. I saw that this film was being remade by a director, Daniel Goldhaber. We met and we spoke, and he was like, ‘You should be in it.’ I was like, ‘Wow, that’s crazy.’ […] I really got the bug from that.”

Charli also got a bit of acting in with her “360” video , which features folks like Julia Fox and Emma Chamberlain.
