Brat And It's Completely Different But Also Still Brat (2024)

"Charli XCX’s "Brat" Remix Album Offers a Self-Reflexive, 360-Degree View of Pop Stardom. Charli XCX’s "Brat And It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat" takes a more holistic approach. The album serves as an extension of Charli’s project as an artist, and rather than commission a bunch of DJs to reinterpret the songs, they’re produced chiefly by Brat’s original creators. Of course, a “tracklist” is but a mere suggestion in our world of über-curated playlisting. Song sequencing is as fluid as modern remixes themselves—interactive interpretations that represent the customization of “content” in the 21st century. Fully embracing these modes of music consumption, Charli delivers a self-reflexive reaction to her success with a companion piece that’s just as relevant—and just as reflective of the zeitgeist—as its parent album."
