Charli XCX is going full-bore brat. The singer, who already has lyrics like “Now you got me blushin’ / Cheeks so red when the blood starts rushing / Yuck!” is getting even brattier. Charli’s new album, titled, yes, Brat, will be released on June 7, a genius move that allows it to be played for almost every weekend during Pride month. Along with the album-release news, Charli debuted two new singles on April 3: “B2b” and “Club Classic.” The songs showcase a harder, dance-y side of Ms. XCX than her previous album, Crash, which was more straight pop. She also dropped the full track list, including such titles as “Sympathy Is a knife,” “I Might Say Something Stupid,” and “Girl, So Confusing.” This all follows the first single, “Von Dutch,” which came out February 29, and the March 22 “Von Dutch” remix featuring Addison Rae doing a primal scream that obviously blew up on TikTok. The people yearn for the sweet release of screaming to club pop.
“Every record i make is my ‘favourite record’ once i finish it, but i think this one might be my all time favourite forever,” Charli XCX texted to fans on February 28. She’s been teasing a new album for a while now: Tweeting about it being club pop, posting about the promo her label wanted her to do, hosting the most exclusive DJ set in New York, etc. You know, typical “coolest straight Bri’ish girl who makes music for gay people” Charli things. The album will have 15 songs and be precisely 41:23 minutes long — which is exactly as long as one person should be able to jump around in the club before pausing to get a water and another vodka soda. Thoughtful queen.
