After a bold campaign that saw Charli XCX cause global commotion with her pop-up ‘PARTYGIRL’ DJ sets, break the internet with viral videos and single reworks featuring stars like Addison Rae, Robyn, Yung Lean, Julia Fox, Chloë Sevigny, Rachel Sennot, and Skream & Benga, and introduce a new shade of green to pop culture, her eagerly anticipated album finally dropped last Friday to widespread acclaim.
Garnering a slew of glowing five-star reviews, The Guardian praised her “insecurity-obliterating anthems by pop’s most human superstar,” while DORK called the album “an in-your-face instant cult classic,” and DIY hailed it as “an exhilarating ode to the multiple facets of club culture that have shaped Charli’s career over nearly two decades.” Additionally, Rolling Stone lauded ‘BRAT’ as “a confessional LP that never loses its energy,” and the Financial Times declared it “one of her best.”
To celebrate the release of ‘BRAT’ on Friday, Charli brought her infamous ‘PARTYGIRL’ club night to London’s HERE at The Outernet, featuring back-to-back performances by Charli, A. G. Cook, George Daniel, and Finn Keane, with a surprise appearance from Shygirl.
The new album ‘BRAT’ includes the hit single ‘Von Dutch’—a brash, synth-heavy introduction to the record—alongside recent tracks ‘Club Classics,’ ‘B2B,’ and ‘360.’ Charli has also released viral reworks of singles from ‘BRAT,’ including ‘The Von Dutch Remix’ with Addison Rae and A. G. Cook, and ‘The 360 Remix’ with Robyn and Yung Lean.
In support of ‘BRAT,’ Charli will embark on her largest headline tour yet, performing in arenas across the UK in November and December. She will also join longtime collaborator Troye Sivan for their highly anticipated co-headline US arena tour, ‘Charli XCX & Troye Sivan Present: Sweat,’ including a newly added second show at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles due to high demand. Tickets are available.
