Pop culture is officially in overdrive this summer, and our playlists are not ready! From unexpected high-art crossovers to pop princess horror movies, here is the absolute latest news you need to know.
💚 Charli XCX is Giving Us High Culture
The brat summer reign never truly ends. Charli XCX just announced her highly anticipated new album, Music, Fashion, Film, dropping on July 24th.
If you thought she couldn’t top her previous aesthetics, wait until you see the album artwork. The official cover features an unbelievably iconic, avant-garde trio:
- Legendary Velvet Underground musician John Cale
- Fashion titan Marc Jacobs
- Master filmmaker Martin Scorsese
Talk about an elite meeting of the minds. Charli is fully cementing herself as a cultural curator, bridging the worlds of pop, style, and cinema.
🩸 Ariana Grande’s New Pop Horror Movie
Meanwhile, Ariana Grande is turning up the terror. She just blessed us with the music video for her latest hit, “Hate That I Made You Love Me”—but it isn’t your typical pop visual.
Ariana went full scream queen for this one, delivering a cinematic mini horror movie. Making things even better, the video co-stars the internet’s favorite horror veteran, Justin Long (yes, of Barbarian and Jeepers Creepers fame). Prepare for jump scares, incredible vocals, and plenty of gore.
Which release are you claiming first? Are we streaming Charli’s high-art masterpiece or looping Ariana’s spooky thriller?
