Charli xcx Destroys an Electric Guitar in ‘Rock Music’ Video Teaser & Announces New Song’s Release Date

The pop star has been teasing that the track is her edgiest yet.

Charli xcx is stepping onto the rock scene — literally. In a new teaser for her upcoming song “Rock Music,” the pop star stomps on an electric guitar, breaking the base and neck apart with one swift motion.

The black-and-white clip arrived on Instagram on Thursday (May 7) after weeks of Charli teasing her new era. Only her feet — wearing impossibly high black stilettos — are visible in frame. The moment she makes impact with her sharp heel, a blast of fuzzy guitars and drum hits sounds off.
