Overview
- Charli XCX released a 10-second gothic teaser for “House,” featuring John Cale, ahead of the single’s Nov. 10 debut.
- She says a line from Cale about music being both “elegant and brutal” shaped her approach to the film’s soundtrack.
- Charli describes Cale’s recorded contribution to “House” as uniquely his, noting that hearing it made her cry.
- The teaser shows stark imagery, including Charli pinned by an elderly hand and a raven on a tether, with an ominous voice asking, “Can I speak to you privately for a moment?”
- “House” is the first release from Charli’s album for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights, which is slated to reach theaters in February 2026 and stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.
