Charli XCX Opens Up About Creative Freedom!

In a recent interview at the Cannes International Film Festival, Charli revealed that commercial success isn't her top priority going forward. She prioritizes maintaining creative freedom over chart-topping records, stating: "I don't really feel the pressure to create another record like 'Brat' because when I was making it, even though I really believed in it and totally knew what I wanted to do with it, I had no idea how it would be received."
