“We were running around the studio with as many things plugged in as possible just doing the worst sounds, trying to find the ugliest things”: How Charli XCX's producers ran a jam session through an AI sampling plugin to make No One Lasts Forever

Charli XCX’s seventh studio album, Music, Fashion, Film, will be released on July 24, following up 2024’s world-dominating Brat project with a stylistic move away from the brash electro-pop of its predecessor that leans into a more reflective and guitar-led sound.

Ahead of the album’s release, Charli and co-producers AG Cook and Finn Keane sat down with John Kennedy for an episode of the Tape Notes podcast to talk through the making of three tracks from the project: Card Declined, Rock Music and No One Lasts Forever.
