Charli xcx Releases 'Music, Fashion, Film (B-Sides Edition)' on iTunes

Charli XCX had always been a rebel at heart, and her music was no exception. But even she didn't know what to expect from her fans. In a surprise move, three tracks from her previous album, 'I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night', 'Playboy Bunny', and 'If You Take the Music Then What Has She Got?', have been uploaded to iTunes as part of a digital deluxe version of 'Music, Fashion, Film (B-Sides Edition)'. For fans who have been following Charli's journey, this was a long time coming.

For Charli, the B-sides were more than just leftovers from the recording process. They were an organic extension of each song, a 'fitting counterpart' that added depth to the album. In her words, "it felt natural to pair each song with a fitting counterpart, something that's adjacent to the album but not entirely part of it". This approach allowed her to experiment with new sounds and ideas, creating something unique and special. Traditionally, B-sides are often fan favorites, and Charli's fans have proven to be no exception.

Charli had initially stated that the B-sides would not be available on streaming platforms, citing a desire to maintain the 'ethos' of the songs. But after much persuasion from her fans, she has begrudgingly put them on iTunes. Her Instagram post announcing the release is characteristic of her playful and unapologetic nature: "you can call me a hypocrite, i don’t mind, Charli wrote with a winky face". The digital album release, priced at $4.99 on iTunes, includes the original 11 tracks from 'Music, Fashion, Film', plus the three B-side tracks and their music videos.

Charli's fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of 'Music, Fashion, Film (B-Sides Edition)', and it's clear that this album is more than just a collection of songs. It's evidence of Charli's creative vision and her willingness to take risks. With the online release of the theatrical short film she created alongside the record, this album is a multimedia experience that will keep fans engaged for a long time to come.

As fans await the digital release of 'Music, Fashion, Film (B-Sides Edition)', they can also look forward to Charli's live show, which will kick off on Sept. 11 in Philadelphia. The limited North American tour will take her to major cities across the continent, including Brooklyn, Toronto, Boston, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, San Diego, Los Angeles, Glendale, and Las Vegas.
