Oh, I forgot, enjoying the brat cover is for deep intellectuals. The vision behind the cover is understood, the references are clear. It's still ugly as all hell and you'd need to hold me at gunpoint to order a physical.

The brat cover really doesn't grow on you. It's actually getting worse and more repulsive every time I see it.

Living for the Camila shade. I remember Charli being a pretty vocal supporter of Camila's around her debut but she's proven herself to be such a hack. Completely devoid of any artistic identity. The blatant copying of Caroline's art direction for Pang was embarrassing. I just know two of them have laughed about it in private.

I'm forever fascinated by Pitchfork's grip over pop fans. I've watched people on Reddit rave about an album only to suddenly go lukewarm if Pitchfork scores it low.

Video is an absolute triumph. The nerve of her to serve like this. I wish the song were better but maybe it'll grow on me and I'll eat my words for dinner.

brat will convert me if the music's good

Look, we get it. The intention behind the cover is apparent. It fits the 2000s underground dance CD handout vibe she's going for. The references are understood. It doesn't make the cover any less hideous, and her fans are well within their right to criticise it, especially when contemplating buying the physicals. You lot who love it can have it, and let's hope there really are more variants for the green repulsed.

It's official. You have to be an intellectual to truly appreciate it. /s In all seriousness, I get what she's going for with it but it doesn't make it any less hideous.

VD is really subpar and the month long edging makes it worse. I love her but I am so beyond tired of these short songs. They always feel unfinished and desperate. She's become so predictable which makes me sad. At this point it would be revolutionary for her to go over the 3 minute mark.

This tediously long rollout for a song that is likely 2 minutes 30 seconds and the snippet is 85% of it.
