Charli XCX's 'Brat' Review
? The U.K. star has been pop’s party girl since her debut, writing high-octane hits for other artists, like Icona Pop’s “I Love It” and Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy,” while saving her most extreme and wildest avant-garde impulses for her own excellent LPs, most recently 2022’sshe stays out later and goes harder than ever before.
By the time we hit “Sympathy Is a Knife,” it’s pretty clear that Charli has only taken half of that advice. It’s the first of several tracks that see her baring some of her most conflicted emotions over beats that never lose their energy. “Sympathy” relays her paranoia, the voice in her head telling her she’s not enough. And even though she needs sympathy, it feels all the more painful when she gets what she wants.
“Girl, So Confusing” details a different type of relationship, as Charli unpacks a complicated frenemy dynamic with another female pop star. “You’re all about writing poems/But I’m about throwing parties,” she explains. Though she celebrates “Mean Girls” later on the album, this track offers an olive branch in spite of how little she and her mystery peer seem to share.
The album closes out with two of its best tracks. “I Think About It All the Time” is a gorgeous confessional about the future and motherhood, leaving existential questions about when it will be the right time for her to pursue that part of her life up in the air.
