Charli xcx is going full rock ‘n’ roll for her next album.

In a new cover story with British Vogue, the pop singer revealed that she’s ditching the dance beats and Auto-Tune that made her last album, “Brat,” a lime-green phenomenon. Instead, her untitled eighth record — which she made with “Brat” producers A. G. Cook and Finn Keane — will be guitar-centric and spotlights Charli’s raw voice. British Vogue describes it as a “rock reinvention,” reporting that one of the songs features the lyrics: “I think the dance floor is dead/ So now we’re making rock music.”
