That’s where Charli xcx finds herself on ‘Music, Fashion, Film’ — operating at the peak of her powers, pushing her own creative boundaries while making everything sound casual, as though these ideas simply spilled out of the studio before anyone had the chance to overthink them. The references are obvious, notably Blur, The Strokes, and Garbage, but they're absorbed into Charli’s hyperpop universe rather than feeling derivative. At a point when most major pop stars become increasingly risk-averse, she sounds happier embracing imperfection than chasing consensus.
