The music will follow up to her 2022 Crash album. As of now, there is not much about the album, though Charli will be releasing the first single on Tuesday, titled “Von Dutch.”

In brief clips, the singer can be seen strutting past a crowd of paparazzi in an airport. The star also runs by a large billboard debuting her name in bold letters accompanied by a fashion campaign-like image of the “Fancy” singer reclining topless in clad with just a pair of black tights on.
“It’s okay to admit that you’re jealous of me” as she tossers her sunglasses to the side.

Charli made headlines last week when she played to a super-packed house during her latest headlining slot at New York’s Boiler Room party in Bushwick, where she played a high energy DJ set.
The set saw the likes Julia Fox making a debut performance, Addison Rae, and others like EasyFun who produced the latest “Von Dutch” single.
The artist mentioned as of late that Brat will “lean in a more raw and confrontational club-pop direction” featuring the “club-pop bops… people have been waiting for.”
When the Boiler Room event was announced on social media, 25,000 people had marked an RSVP, the most ever for a single event in Boiler Room history.
Technically it wasn’t Charli’s first Boiler Room, as the artist had produced a quarantine-era set from her home in Los Angeles in June 2020.
G. Cook also joined the lineup by playing an unreleased song from his upcoming Britpop LP titled “Cute Clothes” featuring vocals from both Charli and Rae.

Charli also introduced her fiancé, drummer and producer George Daniel of The 1975. One of the standout tracks of the evening came courtesy of Daniel’s production in the form of his remix of Caroline Polachek’s “Welcome to My Island,” featuring fast-paced vocals from Charli.
In a touching tribute to the late producer SOPHIE, Daniel remixed an unreleased song from Charli entitled “365” with SOPHIE’s hyperpop hit “Faceshopping.”
The set was an unofficial introduction to XCX6, the inaugural party of Charli’s forthcoming “party girl” era.
