album listens #76 - brat - charli xcx

 

i knew this album was gonna be good but i did not know it was gonna be THIS good. honestly might be charli at her best. i feel like its her most creative and unique and a perfect blend of the weird blend of experimental pop of pop 2 and the classic pop bangers of crash which are my two favourites of hers and it blends both those styles of pop music amazingly. on first listen there was not a single moment i was uninterested by. i cannot think of a pop album i've listened to that was more entertaining than this in a LONG TIME. its abrasive and the beats and production are so perfect, the drum beats go SO HARD and the way the whole sound is just amazing its hard to even pin point what it is, its very cohesive. the lyrics are super personal at times and it knows exactly when to go from that style to the anthem-like club tracks. there's just something about the whole sound of the album that is just so mesmerising.

i knew i was going to like this album but it really came out of nowhere how much i LOVE it. charli outdid herself with this album and its worth 100% of the hype.

FAVOURITE SONG: Von dutch, Sympathy is a knife, Apple, B2b, Girl, so confusing, Talk talk, Mean girls

RATING: 10/10
