Charli XCX – Brat (Black Translucent Vinyl)

Charli XCX’s “Brat” is a sonic explosion that throws a rave in your ears. It’s a return to her hyperpop roots, laced with the frenetic energy of the illegal London club scene where she got her start.

Imagine bubblegum synths and distorted vocals swirling together, punctuated by the heavy basslines of classic electroclash. “Brat” isn’t afraid to be brash and bold, but it also sneaks in moments of vulnerability. It’s a party with a purpose, celebrating life and loss in equal measure.

Longtime collaborator A. G. Cook joins forces with Charli herself to create a sound that’s both minimalist and loud, a unique soundscape bursting with energy. “Brat” is a wild ride through pop, club, and hyperpop, a testament to Charli XCX’s ever-evolving sound and her enduring love for the dance floor.
