Pop stars pay lip service to how much they need their fans, a sentiment that carries real weight when a billion Spotify streams is barely enough to cover the rent and the pandemic rendered music venues moot. With the transactional layer of the artist-fan dynamic stripped away like a dirty Band-Aid, the scrambled migration toward digital spaces began to reveal deeper truths about what (some) creators really need from their cults of personality.
For British singer-songwriter Charli Xcx — on top of the world before Covid-19 forced the brashly individualistic 28-year-old to hole up at home with the rest of us — those truths were as much a revelation to herself as they were to any of the people who listen to her music. Stuck in her L.A. house with two managers and an on-again off-again boyfriend, Charli found herself slowing down for the first time since her career blew...

These are heady times for music documentaries. Questlove’s “Summer of Soul” won the audience and jury prizes at the Sundance Film Festival; docs about the Beastie Boys, Taylor Swift, the Bee Gees, the Go-Go’s, Tina Turner, Billie Eilish, Britney Spears and many others have gotten attention lately; high-profile narrative directors Peter Jackson, Edgar Wright and Todd Haynes have made recent or upcoming docs about the Beatles, Sparks and the Velvet Underground, respectively; and films on Tom Petty, Charlie Xcx, Guy Clark and Poly Styrene are on the bill at the South by Southwest festival.
One advantage of docs like those has always been that they have a built-in, passionate audience of fans for the subject’s music – and in many cases, filmmakers aim their work at the devotees who will savor every detail and sing along with every word. I might embrace each nuance in “Bruce Springsteen’s Letter to You,...
