Speed Driving Coconuts

Idgaf if the whole Brat thing has been run into the ground. I love seeing Charli get this huge moment with a bunch of overexposure. Brat becoming so big that they’re using it as promo for a presidential campaign with it being discussed on CNN and Fox News is very funny to me. It’s obvs very corny but it’s cool to see her get this type of moment that’s so huge and will leave an impact and will never be able to be recreated (though many will try). Many of us on here have always seen Charli’s greatness, and now the rest of the world’s catching up.
 
I think a lot of people are taking a lot of Brat-related stuff way too seriously when it’s all been the full opposite of serious. Like how people were losing their minds over her tweeting “kamala IS brat”. Her troll-y tweet that she probs didn’t even think twice about creating all this discourse and blowing up the way it did is Very funny. It’s amazing to me how she managed to create this huge moment in pop culture.

I think she needs something that will thoroughly disturb her comfortability in the industry. Some of her best works came from a sort of challenge (Red to 1989 being her first attempts to do a strong country to pop crossover era, Reputation being a product of her downfall + her Katy Perry feud, and Folklore/Evermore being a product of the pandemic). 
 
Whenever she's comfortable, she starts producing mediocrity such as this one. The marketing is great and I'm sure her visuals will be top notch...but the album itself sucks. Her lyricism here is some of the weakest yet (with the Charlie Puth line being her absolute career worst) and the entire album just sounds so one-note, but in a bad way. The latter issue is a Jack Antonoff issue, but Taylor still gets a bit of blame from me for that since she has some sort of control what she produces with that man. 
 
I'm hoping she considers a genre-shift for the next album. She's getting way too comfortable and I think a challenge will only do her good. 

Holy crap I was not expecting an M6 announcement any time soon. I thought she was just gonna stick to her poetry book for quite some time and not bother with M6 for a while. 
 
I wonder what the sound is gonna be for this one? It's gonna be funny if she releases it this 2024 since this year is so jam packed with releases in the pop landscape. I'm afraid of the upcoming drought we'll experience in the next few years because of the mass releases this year ngl.

It's not any better or worse than most of her singles so like it's funny how people were expecting something deeper from her. I honestly wont be surprised if this ends up being her hit post-Witness. It gets people talking, and a lot of eyes (and ears) are on her compared to everything she's done during Smile era.
 
It would be funny if it does end up being a hit though, like it will just prove that internet discourse is one huge echo chamber, and I kinda want it to happen for the shear hilarity of it all.

Her poetry book preorders must be tanking. She knows an album announcement might help

Honestly, as horrible and painful as the song is, still better than anything Sabrina Carpenter has ever made. We need to start carrying the same energy people love to have for Katy for every mediocre, shitty release nowadays Taylor, Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Tate McRae all of these mediocre flavorless girls, releasing Tik Tok music.... Katy is obviously jumping on the bandwagon here... but somebody else driving the cart.... Like the nuance is that it’s better than a jack Harlow, or any other flavorless United States radio pop music, but it’s not a good song at all. And I’ve already heard it on the radio twice today. I don’t know if everybody knows this, but in the west, it’s usually the shittiest and most simple mediocre songs that get played five times a day on the radio because labels are able to pay for promotional slots. the only reason the song might be semi-successful is the sheer amount of payola and label foot work being done. It sucks that she’s beyond sold out with this latest move. Sue me, but I believe that the witness era was much too ahead of its time, and all of the concepts and deconstruction of poppy enigma that happened almost feels like it was just thrown to the wind. I know witness is not the most well received album in history, but the message is good it’s clear and it’s cohesive. What we are now beholding is somebody who has no other ideas than to cater to what is currently selling. It sucks to see somebody who used to be as impactful and iconic as Katy Perry fall so far from Grace and still be denied ever doing the right things, the right way ever again. Because she really CAN do the right things. Some of the snippets sound great, but she wanted to cause a stir with this lead single and I'm not exactly okay with the whole reason. Like it's something that didn't need to be givin' more credence and whatever Katy is gonna get flack for, it's going to be 10x hotter of a topic. She knew that and she knew the conversation wouldn't be drowned out and that's why i'm really conflicted about the lead. Bad taste for the beginning of the era, complete shill move. And it was in no world going to "make music love katy again" or anything..

This thread is getting slightly ridiculous…she released a mid-song with a POS producer, but based on the reviews and sentiment here you’d think she violated the Geneva Convention
 
I’m sure there will be bops on the album. 

Hello?! 

My favorite Camila album so far. Everyone who compared it to a Charli release has done the album wrong. Aside from "I luv it" nothing else is even close to a hyperpop moment. 
 
I really enjoyed listening to the album, literally no skips but it's way too short. Pretty solid 8/10 for me.

The transition between from the back 2018 and from the back 2024 is amazing. She really is the queen of making insightfully whorish music because literally how can a song about getting fucked in the back have such a complete storyline? It's so good!

from the back is unexpectedly emotional 

Rewatching Charli's Jimmy Kimmel performance of Bounce now and it hits even better in the brat era. I feel like it would get way more appreciation than it did at the time of it's initial release. 

fuck taylor
 
she really hates women huh? quite ironic since charli has actually shown she’s very pro women, in contrast to taylor’s performative feminism whenever it benefits her personally  

the way brat is totally sorta kinda her Norman Fucking Rockwell! moment, an album that not only feels like a victory lap for the artist but also solidifies everything fans have been saying about the artist for years while also redefining the records that came before it  and both achieving a new critical acclaim peak for the artist while also giving many new fans a great entry point to their discographies  and like NFR! I think brat is going to be a big turning point for Charli, its like after this record I have no clue where she and the music is going to head next and after an album like brat that feels so full circle moment for her she really can go in any direction she wants 

No offense to Kesha but I don't think using her name in 2024 generates any type of substantial hype 

or, here is the shocker, some people simply don’t like it! 

even if this album leaks before release week I'm gonna count it as a win as it didn't leak weeks or months in advance
