‘BRAT’ is the eagerly awaited follow up to 2022’s ‘CRASH’, which reached number 1 on the UK’s official album chart, and promises to be an exhilarating club record built around high art references and social commentary.

Over the course of a trailblazing career, the multi-hyphenate creative has earned critical acclaim for her innovative style and entrepreneurial spirit and seen her forward-thinking approach reshape pop culture in the process.

STAFF COMMENTS

Ethan says: Is it possible to talk about music in 2024 without mentioning Charli xcx’s Brat? Backed by a masterclass in marketing, a hall-of-fame list of producers, and followed by remixes featuring pop music’s biggest stars, Brat is undeniably one of the most successful pop eras of the modern age.

Throughout this album, Charli embraces a far more electronic direction. DJ culture is felt throughout, with the coke-fuelled closer “365” remixing opener “360”, whilst a series of PARTYGIRL-branded back-to-back sets launched the album. Producers like George Daniel, A. G. Cook and EASYFUN give this record its token EDM feel that helped it thrive in a pop landscape of short audience attention spans.
It also helps that almost any song here could’ve been the lead single, proven by the amount of ‘sleeper hits’ the album has produced. Think of “Apple” and Kelley Heyer’s unforgettable dance (which I’m sure you’ll find Millie recreating every so often), or Liam’s personal favourite “Talk talk”, with its pounding four-to-the-floor kick and glossy synths.

Despite Brat’s “365 party girl” mentality, Charli displays a vulnerability missing from earlier works, through the emotionally messy tribute to SOPHIE on “So, I”, or the Kero Kero Bonito-esque “I think about it all the time” in which the artist sings about the dichotomy between her bratty persona and a desire to settle down. That’s all without mentioning the biggest pop moment of the year in “Girl, so confusing”, where Charli sings about her uneasy relationship with popstar Lorde before they “worked it out on the remix” two weeks later.

No album better defines 2024 than Charli xcx’s Brat, and I’m sure years down the line we’ll still be referring to this summer as “Brat summer.”

Over the course of her trailblazing career, Charli XCX has earned critical acclaim for her forward-thinking musical output and refreshing entrepreneurial spirit that has seen her carve her own lane on the global pop circuit. A singer, songwriter, video director, documentary maker, radio host and record label boss, Charli’s story is one of an artist continuing to succeed without compromise.

Now in 2020, Charli is already breaking boundaries - this year has seen her first BRIT nomination for British Female Solo Artist, marking a huge moment of validation from a mainstream audience that Charli has built on her own terms. In reaction to the global COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, Charli has proven herself to be one of the most adaptable artists working today; initially providing programs of Instagram live sessions that invited various guests to spark conversation, share insight, or simply entertain fans across the world who are currently practicing social distancing. Charli’s vision then expanded further, leading her to announce ‘how i’m feeling now’ - a new album to be written, recorded and released in 39 days, completely in self-isolation. The creative process was also to push her collaborative stream in a unique way; opening up the recording, writing, artwork, music videos and more to fans for feedback and contribution - she also further inspired her fans’ creativity, allowing them access to song stems to create remixes and greenscreen footage to be edited using their own imagination.

‘how i’m feeling now’ has given further spotlight to Charli’s status as one of the most adaptable, exciting pop artists working today, and through it’s uniquely collaborative approach, provided a shared space for those who listen to feel safe enough to express themselves however they wish at a time when they need it most.
