Oct 15, 2024In some ways, ‘Brat And It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat’ is a home run for its creator, letting her finish the game on her own terms. She has perfected the art of remixing, keeping the songs moving by giving them a brand new lease of life rather than letting them exist statically in their original form.
-
Oct 11, 2024In one sense, this is a victory lap: Charli is a self-proclaimed party girl and judging by the guest list (other collaborators include Billie Eilish, Troye Sivan and the 1975) this transcendently fun and cool collection is the year’s hottest ticket. In another, however, it’s a glimpse into celebrity’s heart of darkness.
-
Oct 11, 2024“Brat and It’s Completely Different” is more of an alternate-universe reimagining of the original album, and Charli’s wide-ranging galaxy of collaborators not only show not the scope and versatility of her talent, but the respect she commands.
-
Oct 11, 2024As after parties go, ‘brat and it’s completely different but also still brat’ is one for the books.
-
Oct 15, 2024The best moments on Brat and it’s completely different appear when the collaborators act as foils, complicating their originals.
-
Oct 28, 2024Much more than a victory lap, brat and it's completely different but also still brat enriches the Brat listening experience and the understanding of Charli xcx's artistry.
-
Oct 15, 2024Like its sister album, it is unexpected, unfiltered, uncomfortably messy, and dizzyingly fun.
-
Oct 15, 2024Modern pop remix albums have had a lazy streak—tacked-on features, small-minded production and recycled vocals. But Charli comes to the club with new verses, exciting collaborators and a fresh eye for her past work.
-
Oct 11, 2024Taken alongside Brat’s first iteration, it’s a fun, crazed musical triumph; explored as its own entity, it can feel somewhat like a cynical marketing ploy dreamt up by suited bigwigs.
-
Oct 11, 2024Charli’s brutally high-energy punk-disco cyborg aesthetic just comes alive with these other voices chiming in.
-
Oct 11, 2024Fully embracing these modes of music consumption, Charli delivers a self-reflexive reaction to her success with a companion piece that’s just as relevant—and just as reflective of the zeitgeist—as its parent album.
-
Oct 18, 2024Where Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat, may be hindered by its questionable collaboration choices, it more than makes up for it when it comes to displaying Charli XCX’s relentless pursuit of pop debauchery.
