Some of the things we hope not to miss in the next seven days

I will listen to Charli XCX's new album. Music, fashion, film is the eighth album by the British pop star and a new, more rock-oriented turn in her prolific career. After dominating with the Brat summer, Charli Aitchison abandons green and embraces black and white to remain almost the only singer of her generation who plays with the mainstream while navigating the margins and experimentation. A singer who is living her particular artistic zenith, having more fun than anyone.

Two very summery black novels and a space to navigate the mysteries of the Universe

I will finish McCartney: the hunt for the lost bass, about the mysterious disappearance and recovery of Paul McCartney's first bass, a Höfner 500/1 bought in Hamburg in 1961 for only 30 pounds. This marvel sounded on the original recordings of Love me do, she loves you and the early Beatles classics. A road movie musical about the greatest pop group of all time.

I will return to Everyone for ten minutes, the latest album by Bleachers. The reason? The appearance of Bruce Springsteen at one of their live shows last week to perform Jersey Girl. The collaboration is obvious: both are from New Jersey and the influence of the Boss on the compositions of Jack Antonoff, the absolute soul of the group, is noticeable at first glance. If you don't believe me, listen to Dirty wedding dress and then let me know.
