Singer noted on
Instagram that all the shows were already sold out . At press time Charli had not yet announced the release date for BRAT , her sixth full-length album, though she did recently reveal that it is out this summer, contains 15 songs and is 41:23 long. The follow-up to her 2022 album Crash has been advanced by the uptempo first single, “Von Dutch.” Speaking to Billboard at this year’s 2024
Women in
music event, Charli said that BRAT is a club record meant to evoke the illegal
London rave scene of the early 2000s where she started performing as a 14 and 15-year-old, produced from a tight collection of sounds to create “this unique minimalism that is very loud and bold.” She also said that the album is “very direct” eschewing “metaphor and flowery lyricism” for language that is closer to the way she talks to her
Friends in text messages. “This record is all the things I would talk about with my friends, said exactly how I would say them. It’s in ways very aggressive and confrontational, but also very conversational and personal,” she said. “And not in that boring way where artists are like, ‘This is my most personal record.’ To me, it feels like listening to a conversation with a friend.
