Charli XCX ‘Begrudgingly’ Shares ‘Music, Fashion, Film (B-Sides Edition)’ on Streaming

Charli XCX dropped an extended version of her new album, Music, Fashion, Film (B-Sides Edition), on iTunes on Sunday. The digital release features three additional tracks: “I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night,” “Playboy Bunny,” and “If You Take the Music Then What Has She Got?”

The three songs were previously shared with fans on Charli’s @b.sides alt-account on Instagram. They were included as actual b-sides on limited-edition, physical 7-inch single releases for her tracks “Rock Music,” “SS26,” and “Camera,” and as part of the Music, Fashion, Film physical box set. The singer acknowledged that she hadn’t planned to unveil the songs digitally.

“i made b sides for each of the songs released ahead of Music, Fashion, Film because it felt natural to pair each songs with a fitting counterpart – something that’s adjacent to the album but not entirely part of it,” she wrote on Instagram. “traditionally, b sides often become fan favorites… and i guess in the case of some of the b sides for this album, that has proven to be true.”

She added, “i felt adamant i wouldn’t put them on streaming because it sort of felt counter intuitive to the whole ethos of those songs, but i know you all really wanted them so i’ve begrudgingly put them on itunes lol. you can call me a hypocrite, i don’t mind 😉 love you all and i hope you enjoy these special songs in ur ears.”

The new edition is available for for $4.99 on iTunes. It includes Music, Fashion, Film‘s original 11 tracks, plus the three b-sides and their accompanying music videos.

Charli XCX released Music, Fashion, Film, her seventh studio album, on Friday. In her recent Rolling Stone cover story, Charli spoke about the new album, following up the massive success of Brat, and her burgeoning acting career.

“All of my albums work in opposites,” she said. “They repel against each other, and that’s the connective tissue. I knew when I was making it that I was never going to make that record again. It’s not creatively rewarding for me to make the same thing twice.”

Charli will tour behind Music, Fashion, Film, hitting the festival circuit (Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Reading, Leeds, and others) before making stops at arenas like Barclays in Brooklyn, New York, and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
