Charli XCX

Recommended Posts

this is such a breezy summer album. soaked in sweat @ a festival or as someone said on the last page, browsing racks @ american apparel with the AC blasting :legend:

 

brat is her best album yet, for me personally, it tops TR & HIFN :hdu:

wait relistening to 365 I noticed that there’s the “OOH”s from bounce in the mix if you listen carefully AHHH 

 

The ooh adlib actually originated from Round and Round

 

which I think is really cool bc technically there’s always some part of XCX World that will be in charlis music and I think that’s beautiful

it's a grower for sure, i was really disappointed at first and there's some messy moments lyrically/melodically but after a few listens and some adjusted expectations i love it. i'm relieved i came around because i've been hoping for a 2009/2010 electropop myspace demos album from her for years and i needed this to round out my holy trinity of true romance and number 1 angel. the lack of features is great. i think my main issue was with the sequencing, it was very jarring but i moved a few songs around and it's a much more cohesive listen

This part, I'm still not set on all of them but I really liked it more then I initially thought

i think the boiler room set messed with people’s idea of what the album was gonna sound like :noparty:


This is why we have Boiler Room… :popcorn:

 

I personally tried to remember that she is a major-label pop artist, and keep everything in perspective… and because of that, the album would likely be a bit more poppy.
 

Like we know what a Charli release tends to sound like…… The Boiler Room was not that. :oprah3: :eartha:

I mean, understandable and I can see where you are coming from. My only gripe is that they are so short.

 

I’m a huge fan of that myspace demo-ish style sound that she went with for them tho - Valentine is one of my favourite songs by here and they remind me of it :flutter:

We practically have two albums with Brat and the Boiler Room set like I don't really get the issue.. 
I do wish the EASYFUN remix of 365 closed the album though

i think the issue is that the album that was marketed is not the album that was delivered. i am really enjoying it, but it is not the club b2b classic she promo'd

the way the whole tracklist goes from partying TO existental thoughts BACK to partying but this time acknowleging it as a cope mechanism BACK to being introspective... and then the whole story circles back again from 365 to 360 with the interpolation but also both the titles representing basically a loop... this album is a fucking masterpiece and no one can tell me otherwise!!!!!!!! BRAT ALBUM OF THE MILLENIUM!!!!!!!!!!

boom. there it is

girl this is definitely not the experimental club album she tried to say it was LMFAOOOOO

like 90% of these songs just sound like they could’ve been on crash/hifn/pop 2

 

also girl so confusing is definitely about lorde and i will die on that hill…. consider me team #LordeSoConfusing 

 

anyways my favs are Everything is Romantic, 360, So I, Talk talk, von dutch 

 

i also love the little funky piano bridge in mean girls, but i wish i liked the rest of the song more :(
