Watch Charli XCX Direct Vincent Cassel in “Camera” Video
Charli XCX has released "Camera," another single and video from her forthcoming album Music, Fashion, Film, which arrives on Friday.

Its rollout has included the singles "Rock Music," two B-sides, "SS26," "Wink Wink," and now "Camera." She will support the record with the Music, Fashion, Film Tour alongside Underscores, beginning in September.

Explained simply
Charli XCX is a musician known for experimental and genre-blending pop music. She released her album Brat in 2024, which was widely celebrated and established her as an important figure in contemporary music.
She is now releasing a new album called Music, Fashion, Film, coming this week as her second full album of 2026. The single "Camera" is one of several new songs shared ahead of the album's arrival.
Charli has directed the "Camera" music video herself alongside collaborator Aidan Zamiri, and it features French actor Vincent Cassel in a cinematic scene. This visual focus is typical of her approach—she treats her music projects as complete artistic statements combining sound and image.
