Exploring Charli XCX's latest album Brat, released amidst her name change

Charli XCX's latest studio album titled Brat was released on June 7, 2024, through Atlantic Records. The album captivated both fans and critics alike with its raw energy and introspective lyrics. The album was announced on February 28, 2024, just a day before dropping its lead single, Von Dutch.

Described by the singer herself as her "most aggressive and confrontational record," Brat explores the artist's roots, channeling the illegal London rave scene where she first began performing as a teenager.

Following the album's critical acclaim and commercial success, the singer surprised fans with the release of a deluxe version titled Brat and it’s the same but there’s three more songs so it’s not on June 10, 2024. This extended edition further solidifies the album's place as a standout project of the year.

The artist has continued to veer in multiple directions by recently working with producers attached to the UK record label, PC Music, and dabbling in more avant-garde pop. This evolution peaked in her third and fourth studio projects, Charli (2019) and How I’m Feeling Now (2020), as she demonstrated her musical range.
