Charli XCX Drops 'Camera' Music Video Starring Vincent Cassel

Charli XCX has released a new music video for her song "Camera," starring French actor Vincent Cassel, according to Rolling Stone.

The visual, directed by Aidan Zamiri, is a single, continuous shot that follows Cassel through a frustrating day on a film set. The clip depicts the actor attempting to shoot a desert showdown scene where technical mishaps repeatedly ruin the take.

What happens in the 'Camera' video?

In the video, Cassel's character deals with a squib that fails to explode on the first attempt. When it finally does go off in a burst of fake blood on the second try, the scene is spoiled by an overheated light fixture sparking. Charli XCX appears briefly in the video, seemingly as the film's director, riding the camera on a dolly track.

When is the new album coming out?

"Camera" is the latest preview of Charli XCX's upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film. The record is scheduled for release this Friday, July 24. It follows previously shared tracks "Rock Music," "SS26," and "Wink Wink." The album was created with her longtime producer A.G. Cook and collaborator Finn Keane.

In a recent interview, Charli addressed perceptions about the album's sound. "Obviously, I know that there’s been a lot of conversation around me making a rock album, which is something that I never said," she told Rolling Stone.

What's next for Charli XCX?

Following the album's release, Charli XCX is set to perform at several festivals, including Lollapalooza and Outside Lands.
