its a cute record, for £11 the colour is cute and the packaging feels good

girl..as if

And they did a great job. I will be using.

I approach most things in my life with equal intensity, so therefore:
 
No. (◠‿◠✿)

i really really love this fanmade bRat cover. A genius stan from here did it

im fantasizing about the 7" club classics / B2b vinyl having spring breakers as one of the two secret tracks  imagine the fucking gag 

Exactly what moment I'm thinking of. XCX World being the biggest "loss for the culture" despite her saying it, and everything around it, being painful because the art never got to live the life she intended for it, as well as the interviews and comments where she hinted being really upset by the whole ordeal when it happened...
 
This could be her way of "taking back that power" and saying "It's obvious that people want this shit, and they're hell bent on getting it behind my back and wishes no matter what, so might as well have some control in the process and stop working "the old way" with my material and take a new approach."

you have to remember she's kinda been stockholmed into loving her unreleased music via the gays 
shouting taxi at charli wasn't just a meme there were people doing it, and thats where the video of her explaining why it hurts her feelings to hear that comes from
 
 
obvs i dont think charli HATES her unreleased music, i dont think she'd make music she doesn't enjoy herself.
But i highly doubt she loves leak culture. She probably loves the hardcore fans who understand her journey and progress. We're dedicated AF! She loves US! 

"I'm into the idea of this massive amount of material being out there..."

Interesting. This whole post says "I love leak culture" because that's what we do - amass tons of content from an artist and make believe on what could have happened with it. I just got done updating and pulling in a bunch of Charli material, and I've got like 670 songs with her name on them in my iTunes. It's a lot.
 
To read her having an opinion that's more or less supportive of that....I'm.....suspicious. I'll put it like that. In an age where "everything leaks" and artists are scrapping whole projects when it happens (Sza, FKA Twigs), or people are otherwise mad on social media about it (Billie, Slayyyter, etc.), regardless if it's album content or non, to suddenly take a thinly veiled stance that supports and aligns with what goes on in leak-land is....interesting.
 
She also did say she was in her lying era. I'm not trusting it until I see the content for sale, on streaming, or uploaded to Soundcloud or some shit. I read the "releasing a lot of my demos...and playing them at my shows" as an exclusive 'and', not an inclusive one - aka "her playing them at shows is her way of releasing them".

Oh look, exactly what I said to do a page back - merge the IG snip with the boiler room.

But also who the fuck is scrobbles? and is the comment they're making in relation to her interview?

Did Skream & Benga just come out of retirement to release a fucking von dutch remix omg this era is so fun

I think by "releasing" she means releasing them into the world via live shows/dj sets but maybe I'm wrong. This also sort of confirms my theory that she (her camp) leaked the barbie demos + make u mine and snuck the girl (demo) in there to gauge fan reaction about the new sound/style 

i think we’re fine for now ? Charli hasn’t announced any other projects. I feel like most people here know where to find links in that event anyways - it’s a very easy rule to follow. 

i already just know some angels are gonna be like “omg these demos are so much better than the entirety of brat” when they get released cuz we’re annoying like that!  

ya'll

i feel like a 2024 version of lucy liu would fit right into brat perfectly 

Has anyone been able to find Brat production credits anywhere? Ik sometimes they go up pre-release... Out of the yet-to-be-released tracks, all we know so far is that El Guincho worked on "Everything is romantic" (he's heavily involved in the new Camila record too... some of you may get a kick out of that info) & "Talk talk" is an A. G. + HudMo coprod. 
 
At first I didn't think the song as a whole was about anyone in particular, more of a commentary on the experience of being a "woman in music," but ever since The Face wrote about it being about "the fraught relationship she has with an unnamed female artist," I do wonder... A lot of the lyrics point more to it being about Lorde imo... very reminiscent of her 360_brat story mentioning her from last summer discussing them making plans to make music and never actually going through with it, "people say we're alike," etc... The "you should come to my party / and put your hands up" lyrics feels like a reference to Lorde's lyric about how she's "kinda over getting told to put [her] hands up in the air" from Team as well. I suppose it could be interpreted to be about Marina too, the lyrics somehow feel too direct, like she's saying too much, but still vague at the same time. Incredible song, can't wait to hear the final. (Same goes for "I think about it all the time")

ive been a girl so confusing hater for a few months but i think i am starting to finally get it...

(Kinda don't wanna spell this out because I've been wanting to do this but I'm also lazy af)

Someone truly desperate smart would take the minute of audio from 360_brat of Spring Breakers (which is probably the "studio" version), and match it with the boiler room audio. Boiler room has a basically clean end since the next track is 2 Die 4 and it's an almost clean cut right to it. 360_Brat IG snippet has the "clean" intro/start of the song that is missing from boiler room. If we assume 360 snip is also the studio version, then it's easy to turn the boiler room BPM and pitch back down to match the OG, and from there it's just in mastering the audio pieces so the "sonic texture" of the two blend together (that's the part that I'm personally stuck on). Add a little upscale and some plugins to shine it up, and voila, roll your own.

Make U Mine (OG File)

ever since boiler room i’ve been saying “George” at any random moment of the day 

I honestly wouldn't call them teasers. She's pumping this club/rave vibe hard. Releasing instrumentals of tracks gives DJs an easier time to do mixes and mashups, so I think of it more as a fun nod to that more than anything, as opposed to "teasing" anything upcoming.

IluvitIluvitIlu- oh wait sorry wrong artist

Another day of the Club Classics / B2b vinyl not being available as a solo purchase 

I hope we get spring breakers before my graduation so I can make something really funny
