Charli XCX | Pop star announces UK tour dates and drops two new tracks from forthcoming album "Brat"

After what has felt like a lot of teasing regarding when her new album is out, Charli XCX has finally revealed the release date for “Brat” - and to sweeten the deal has also dropped two brand new tracks from the record alongside details of a UK tour to promote the new album.

“Brat,” the follow-up to 2022’s “Crash,” will contain her previous single “Von Dutch” alongside the two new tracks that have been released: “Club classic” being a throwback to the halcyon days of club anthems and the heyday of Gatecrasher/Cream, while “B2b” having more of an electronic feel to it rather than a dance-heavy “banger.”

The release hasn’t been without controversy, however; some fans have complained about the artwork for “Brat,” a lime green cover with the word “Brat” in lowercase. Addressing the recent drama, the pop star told Vogue Singapore “They were like, ‘Why isn’t she going to be on the cover? She needs to be on the cover’,” Charli explained. “Why should anyone have that level of ownership over female artists?”

“I wanted to go with an offensive, off-trend shade of green to trigger the idea of something being wrong. I’d like for us to question our expectations of pop culture –why are some things considered good and acceptable, and some things deemed bad?

“I’m interested in the narratives behind that and I want to provoke people. I’m not doing things to be nice.”
