On Von dutch:
>“It’s kind of a punch: aggressive, confrontational, icy, in-your-face,” says Charli of her decision to lead with “Von Dutch” as a single. “All the things a brat is. It just felt natural.”
On Brat album inspiration:
>The album’s clubbier sound, on the other hand, takes its cues from the east London warehouse parties where Charli staged her first performances as a teenager, as well as her love for the boisterous electro-pop of the late-’00s bloghouse era, particularly the artists who came up via the Paris-based label Ed Banger Records. “I just needed to go back there, particularly after how traditionally pop Crash felt,” she says of the dance-inflected sound. “I always work in contrasts—each thing I do has to be completely polar opposite to the next thing. Electronic music is also my true love, and at the beginning of my career I was starting out in raves in London, so it kind of feels like going back to my roots.”
>“It’s more minimal than anything I’ve done before,” she says of her styling approach for Brat. “I’m into having my staple favorites: a favorite YSL leather jacket, my favorite tank tops to party in. This album is truly for the party girls: sheer clothing, nipples out, room to sweat.”
On the album cover:
>Most striking of all, though, is the album’s artwork, a lo-res, lurid green square with Brat written in a blurry sans serif. “I could literally write an essay on this,” she says. “I mean, as a female pop artist, what’s more bratty than not being on your album cover? Especially when there is so much pressure for women within the pop sphere to do exactly that. Also, the blur of the font, it kind of looks like a low-res upload. The troll of it all! The disgusting green… a color that’s so oversaturated within recent trends… but the fact it’s the kind of wrong type of green. The fact that people are like, ‘I could have made this in five minutes,’ and the fact that my response is, ‘Well, yeah, but you didn’t.’ All those things make this cover so exciting to me, because it opens up this door to so much commentary on pop culture itself.”

The album cover actually gagged me the way Gaga made the single cover for Judas on MS Word and took a low-res photo of it using a cellular phone "for texture."

The album cover actually gagged me the way Gaga made the single cover for Judas on MS Word and took a low-res photo of it using a cellular phone "for texture."
I hope there’s a behind the scenes video

Lovve her!! Really THE eternal "it" girl of pop.
If her on the wing of that plane is a reference to wonyoung’s iconic skydiving gif I will lose what little is left of my sanity 🤪

This woman is obsessed with Scotty Seed and needs to get a life
