Charli XCX has released the music video for her new single 'Wink Wink', featuring some of her most explicit scenes to date, with lyrics to match. The song includes references to licking strawberries covered in cream, engaging in sexual acts with someone's father, jumping on trampolines without underwear, and dressing provocatively.
Video Content and Fan Reactions
The raunchy music video shows Charli reading erotic material on her Kindle, pressing her soapy chest against a glass window, spraying squirty cream into her mouth, dancing in her underwear, rolling around in a muddy field, and spraying her white shirt until it becomes transparent. The video quickly garnered reactions from fans on YouTube, with comments expressing shock and admiration. One fan wrote: 'Oh so it's Freaky XCX summer?' while another commented: 'She's not afraid to be sexy and corny at the same time and a lot of artists try just doing one and not committing!! Charli really is just another level.'
A third fan added: 'This is like the best song ever and really deserved a heartfelt bridge and a third chorus!' while a fourth said: '10/10 need a longer version asapppp.' Another fan gushed: 'This visual is everything my goodness,' and someone else wrote: 'If you don’t like this you’re boring as f***.' One person praised: 'She is so intentional with her music and the delivery is so smart, it’s something i don’t think anyone else is doing right now.'
Teaser and Upcoming Album
Before the music video was released, Charli teased fans on Instagram with the announcement: 'Something horny is coming ;)'. Her new album, titled 'Music, Fashion, Film', is her seventh studio album and is set to be released on 24 July. It reportedly runs for just over 30 minutes with 11 tracks. The cover art features a black and white photo of John Cale from The Velvet Underground, fashion designer Marc Jacobs, and filmmaker Martin Scorsese.
