LONDON—Charli XCX released her new song, “I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night,” this week. The track is reportedly the B-side to “Rock Music.” However, “I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night” is exclusively available on vinyl. Sources indicate it also exists on her Instagram. Many fans are reportedly frustrated. They cannot find a way to listen to the new song. This marks a bold new direction for Charli XCX. She is known for pushing artistic boundaries. This latest release is no exception.
The Elusive B-Side
The song’s existence has been confirmed by Charli XCX herself. She posted cryptic messages on her social media. These messages hinted at the vinyl-only release. No streaming platforms will host “I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night.” This has led to a surge in demand for vintage record players. Online marketplaces have seen prices skyrocket. One fan, Brenda Periwinkle, a self-proclaimed Charli XCX superfan, expressed her dismay. “I’ve been searching for this record for days,” Periwinkle stated. “I’ve checked every thrift store. I’ve even looked on Discogs. Nothing.”
Artistic Integrity or Marketing Gimmick?
Music critics are divided. Some hail the move as genius. They praise the artist’s commitment to tangible media. Others question the practicality of the release. This strategy ensures “I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night” reaches a very select audience. Arthur Penhaligon, Head of Vinyl Acquisition at Polygram Records, commented. “It’s a bold statement. It forces listeners to engage. It demands a physical presence.” He added, “Or maybe she just lost the masters.” Charli XCX has not addressed the criticism directly. She continues to promote her upcoming tour. The tour is expected to feature “Rock Music.” The status of “I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night” remains uncertain.
At press time, rumors circulated that the song was actually just a brief silence recorded on a wax cylinder.
