Finally got around to listening to BRAT by Charli xcx, and woah, this is such a fun album. It’s a great mix of her hyperpop sound from previous albums alongside this new 2000s club sound, and it works so well. It’s heavy, catchy, and just plain fun. But what takes it to the next level is the lyrics, they simple and blunt, but are very vulnerable, being about Charli’s insecurities, love life, and her feelings on her career at this point which just adds this extra layer that makes it a wonderful, inventive record that stands against so many mediocre pop records from some of the industry’s biggest names.
