Brat, released in 2024, is Charli XCX’s sixth studio album and one of her most daring creative statements. The record dives into the heart of underground club culture, merging industrial pop with glossy, emotional immediacy. Songs like “360,” “Von Dutch,” “Club Classics,” and “Girl, so confusing” blend sharp hooks with chaotic energy, creating a sound that feels both abrasive and euphoric. Charli’s lyrics reflect self-awareness, fame, and friendship with a mix of humor and honesty, while the production—driven by A.G. Cook and Easyfun—captures the intensity of late-night dance floors and the isolation that can follow. In her discography, Brat represents the culmination of Charli’s evolution from alt-pop provocateur to full-fledged auteur. It fuses her experimental instincts with a renewed emotional directness, celebrating imperfection and chaos as acts of self-definition. The result is a record that’s as confessional as it is confrontational, as vulnerable as it is loud—a defining work for both Charli and the sound of modern pop.
