Charli XCX Flips Fame on Its Head with a Short, Rock-Infused Reflection

Slate’s Carl Wilson argues Charli XCX’s Music, Fashion, Film is a compact 30-minute meditation on fame, mortality, and art’s impermanence, blending live instruments with experimental electronics to undermine the It Girl image and deliver a cohesive, high-energy critique that rewards listening to the album as a whole rather than track by track.

Rolling Stones Blend Classic Swagger with Modern Craft on Foreign Tongues

Pitchfork’s Stuart Berman argues Foreign Tongues, built from Hackney Diamonds outtakes and produced by Andrew Watt, tightens the Stones’ groove with a rhythm-forward approach that leans into contemporary pop craft while maintaining their swagger. The album features high-profile guests (Paul McCartney, Benmont Tench, Bruno Mars, Robert Smith) and a bold cover of Amy Winehouse’s You Know I’m No Good, and it’s framed as an improvement on Hackney Diamonds that sometimes recalls Some Girls in spirit, even as it wrestles with balancing spontaneity and calculated precision.

Rolling Stones Still Have It: Foreign Tongues Delivers Grit, Space, and Surprises

Marc Burrows’ review finds Foreign Tongues largely proves The Rolling Stones still have their grit and groove, with Watt’s production giving the songs a punchy, expansive feel and high-profile guests like Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood, and even a posthumous Charlie Watts moment adding weight. The album spans multiple decades of rock and yields three standout tracks that hold up alongside the band’s classics, but it’s hampered by overlong runtimes and moments where the production flattens dynamics and the choruses sound overly glossy. If anything, it confirms the Stones aren’t chasing relevance so much as continuing to make music for the fun of it, closing with a vintage Chuck Berry cover that seals the full-circle moment. A flawed but engaging late-career statement that’s worth a listen.
