Charli xcx Releases New Song “Wall of Sound”
British singer-songwriter Charli xcx released a new song “Wall of Sound” on January 16, 2026.
The song is the third single off of her upcoming seventh studio album “Wuthering Heights”, following “House” featuring John Cale and “Chains of Love”.
As with the previous song “Chains of Love”, Charli xcx co-wrote the song with producers Finn Keane and Justin Raisen.
The new album comprises 12 tracks and is set to be released on February 13, 2026.
The album is the soundtrack of an upcoming film of the same name. For Charli xcx, it is her second soundtrack album, following the 2023 “Bottoms” soundtrack.
The film “Wuthering Heights” was directed by Emerald Fennell, starring Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi, Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes, and Ewan Mitchell.
It was inspired by Emily Brontë's 1847 novel “Wuthering Heights”.
The film is scheduled to be released in the UK on February 11, 2026 and in the US on February 13, 2026.- Charli xcx said of the album, “When Emerald approached me with an open mind and a total willingness for me to explore I thought...ok I can do something cool here. I can write songs from a different perspective and I can think about these songs as purely serving the film they've been written for. For me that's a totally different approach and finding a new approach always feels like a lifeline to a new way of creating. This collection of songs is an album, and sure, my name's on the credits, but is it a Charli xcx album? I don't even know. Nor do I really care to find out. All I know is that it's a celebration of my freedom as an artist right now and that I feel passionate about what I've created and how it's been created.”
