Overview
- Charli XCX confirmed that “House,” featuring Velvet Underground co‑founder John Cale, arrives Monday as the first song from her film project.
- A 10‑second teaser posted Nov. 6 shows Charli on the ground, a raven-like bird, sparse violins, and a gravelly voice asking, “Can I speak to you privately for a moment?”
- Charli says Emerald Fennell approached her last Christmas; she and collaborator Finn Keane then wrote multiple songs inspired by the film’s world.
- Cale’s documentary line about music being both “elegant and brutal” guided the sessions, and he recorded a part for “House” that Charli says moved her to tears.
- Fennell’s Wuthering Heights, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, is reported to premiere in February 2026.
