Description
Limited black ice colored vinyl LP pressing housed in gatefold jacket. 2024 release. Charli's sixth studio album 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: a new era both musically and visually.
BRAT is a high-octane, club-indebted masterpiece that captures the raw, unfiltered essence of Charli XCX. Stripping away the polished "hyperpop" labels of her past, this album dives headfirst into the grime and glamour of the London underground scene. It’s a record that feels both massive and incredibly intimate, balancing aggressive, industrial-flecked bangers with vulnerable, diary-entry lyrics about insecurity, rivalry, and the complexities of female friendships.
Sonically, the album is a masterclass in tension and release, fueled by "Black Ice" production from heavy hitters like Gesaffelstein and Hudson Mohawke. From the jagged, confrontational energy of "Von Dutch" to the infectious, dance-floor-ready hook of "Apple," BRAT is a relentless exploration of what it means to be a "cult" icon in a mainstream world. It isn’t just an album; it’s an aesthetic—messy, loud, and unapologetically confident.
