Get ready to rock out.
I feel like this is going to give, in the same vein as BeyoncĆ©, āthis is not a rock album, itās a Charli XCX albumā and Iām looking forward to it.
Sheās just a rock chick. She likes to rock out.

Her posts recently about how inspired she feels are promising, but reading the interview it sounds like sheās doing rock music because she doesnāt know how to follow up brat.
Given the brat remix album was largely about bratās success too - I wonder what else she has to say
I think sheās always known how to follow Brat up, since sheās been speaking about this sort of album for quite a while now. The remix album seemed to be more of a real time reaction, and based on the article, this seems to be more about her relationship to art as a larger concept.
I think itās instructive to recall her Subway Takes episode ā āmusic is not important, artistry isā ā and the stricter production & songwriting parameters she set for herself on Brat (which helped it feel āelevatedā & distinct from her catalogue despite pulling from similar themes and sonics sheād played with for the prior 9 years).
I really trust her, music- and concept-wise. How she spins this in interviews (and how the press and public receive it) is an entirely different storyā¦
So whereās the first single @charles

Manifesting that this sounds somewhere between Thy Slaughter and Kelelaās Idea 1.
I demand a South American Tour, not doing any Brat show here was a crime. And NO, the DJ set in Brazil doesnāt count.
She canāt follow up brat with another dance project esp since the remix album extended the era and made it feel twice as long. So itās understandable she feels the need to pivot.
I for one am ecstatic that she teased rock as a hint for the new sound.
A few times during the last era, I actually thought it would be a really interesting sound for her. After all, itās not too far off from her roots, and with influences from the latest stuff A.G. and Finn have been doing, I think it could turn out to be super interesting.
Ready to Break the Rules all over again
Im lowkey a Sucker defender, or what maybe the ethos of what Sucker WAS before label bullshit. Theres some references that she mentioned and mined at the time id love for her to explore more, and of course all the inspiration shes mentioned since.
I think she can make something very compelling with where shes at now.
Shout out to her cover of āAllergic to Loveā. Such an energetic, punky, racket of a song (in the best way) with a soundscape that I wish played a larger role in the record. @atlantic you guys may have made up but you still have alot to answer for
Sheās always let the pendulum swing between projects. It makes sense itās swung further after the success of the last album.
Iām perched.
I have faith in Sucker (Charliās Version but Entirely Different Since Itās What She Wanted to Accomplish Prior to Label Intervention).
What if now is the time to rerelease Superlove
Superlove (Charliās Version)
Iām still kinda on my Charli journey. I really enjoyed Brat, but I actually got into How Iām Feeling Now last year when some of the songs were played at Manchester Pride and I Shazammed them (dd). I genuinely love that record now, and Iām excited to delve a little bit further although Iām somewhat doing it backwards. Perched for whatever she brings to the table next!
I hope she discovers prog rock while making this album. I need a symphonic 20-minute orchestral rock masterpiece from her. I see the vision.
