Charli XCX released her album Brat in June 2024
Charli XCX released her sixth studio album, Brat, on June 7, 2024. The singer spoke about the album's core themes and tones in an interview with Billboard that appeared on Billboard's issue of July 20, 2024, stating:
“I like the marketing of pop music more than I am interested in actual pop music. I think we’ve been living in this world now for a while where there’s this desire to appeal to the most people, to have the biggest smile and be the nicest person with the widest appeal. But desire is cultivated by being a little bit hard to reach, a little bit separate."
Charli XCX continued:
"That’s why people want to wait in a queue at f–king Supreme, you know what I mean? With brat, it was really interesting to just do things for the fan base and make that feel exclusive — but then once you’re in the club, it’s actually very inclusive. Actually, everyone can join the club."
Charli XCX continued:
"It’s just that everybody joins at slightly different times in slightly different ways — whether that be on my private Instagram posts, or the 400-person Boiler Room, or a random cinema screening of a new music video in L.A., or a text message from me."
Earlier on in the interview, the singer's creative director, Imogene Strauss, elaborated on the album's cover, stating:
"We did hundreds of versions of the cover. We knew it was going to be green, but the conversations around the shade of green were weeks long… There’s so many versions that existed before the final. We analyzed every single element: where has this color been used before, what are its associations, who reacts to it and how.”
Charli XCX is currently set to perform a few shows in the UK as part of her Brat UK Arena tour in November and December 2024. This will be followed by her festival performances in 2025 in festivals such as Laneway Festival in Australia and Primavera Porto in Portugal.
