the brutalism and girlhood of brat

what makes charli's new album so successful

There’s only one thing I’ve been listening to these past two weeks, and you can probably guess what it is. I wouldn’t even call it a rotation; BRAT has swallowed me whole.

I’ve been piecing together what I love about Charli’s sixth album all week, scribbling notes with my sunglasses down on the District line (always staying on theme.) I wanted to work out why it resonates so much with me, and in turn why the album has struck a chord with so many of us. And I think I’ve cracked it.
