IN A MOVE that only Charli xcx could pull off, her latest project, Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat, has stormed to the top of the UK charts. A fresh twist on her June hit album BRAT, this release reimagines fan favorites with avant-flair, collaborating with legends like Julian Casablancas, Bon Iver, and The 1975.
And her domination doesn’t stop there—Charli’s got three singles lighting up the UK Top 20, with the electrifying “Sympathy is a Knife” at No. 7.

BRAT and its new companion album have critics buzzing, securing the top spots on Metacritic’s “Best of 2024” list. Reverered as “a masterpiece” by The Guardian and praised by NME as “a triumph in club music curatorship,” Charli’s influence has become a seismic force that has resonated across fashion, art, and sound.
Charli XCX – BRAT REMIX
To celebrate, Charli took over the iconic Storm King Arts Center in New York with an immersive 30×30 ft sonic sculpture, a physical manifestation of BRAT in all its bold, neon-green glory. Fans flocked to experience this striking fusion of music and art, as Charli led an intimate listening session, sharing stories and sounds behind each track.
But Charli’s influence goes beyond music. Fresh off a hit single from the Barbie soundtrack, she’s now scoring films for A24, while starring in projects by indie directors Daniel Goldhaber and Greg Araki, and lending her sound to Benito Skinner’s series Overcompensating on Prime Video. With her co-headlining U.S. tour alongside Troye Sivan in full swing, she’ll soon return to the UK for sold-out arena shows, before headlining Australia’s Laneway Festival in early 2025.
