Alexander Guy Cook expands his visionary influence with the early 2026 release of “Residue,” a sonic pillar within the soundtrack for Charli XCX’s mockumentary, The Moment.

Under the A24 Music banner, Cook assumes total creative command as the sole composer, producer, and vocalist for this high-gloss electronic composition.

The record delivers an urgent, club-oriented pulse that fuses hyperpop sensibilities with the cinematic gravity required for a theatrical score.

Accompanying the track, an Aidan Zamiri-directed visual depicts a warehouse rave populated by an unsettling army of Charli look-alikes, eventually revealing a surprise appearance by Kylie Jenner.

This imagery invites discourse regarding the simulation of stardom and the lingering cultural echoes remaining after the massive impact of the Brat era.

Dense synth arrangements and driving beats create a hypnotic atmosphere that mirrors the frenetic energy of modern celebrity.

As the film prepares for its February theatrical debut, the song functions as a critical examination of imitation and the fragmented nature of identity in the digital age.

Cook succeeds in translating complex themes of replication into a visceral dance floor experience, providing a profound commentary on the lifecycle of trends.

Every rhythmic layer serves to reinforce the concept of artistic residue, where a movement outlasts the moment of its creation.
