Every time she begins a new era I have so much fun going back to Charliās debut. It STILL HITS. Some general thoughts: 1) Nuclear Seasonsā¦summah lovin in the back seat gon!
2) Stay Away - wild that this was one of her early singles. So dark and moody. The way she ennunciates āech-ohā and āah-rrrowā š«Ø
3) Cloud Aura with Brooke Candy - an iconic early flop, which I think she learned a lot from and rarely missed after this with her features
4) What I Like - my favorite. The āahhhā vocal fries, she really walked so the girls of the 2020s could run! What moments do yaāll love? And are you loving von dutch?
You (ha ha ha) sticks like GRITS. everytime I power that one up it explodes out of my speaker slaps me across the face for 3 minutes! āloudest song youāve ever heardā meme contender
She makes me feel hot girl and smooth brained. It's limo and grenadine cocktail music. Plus one song has the lyrics "vroom vroom bitches know you can't catch me"
Top tracks:
Hot in it
Hot girl (bodies bodies bodies)
Vroom vroom
The von dutch remix with addison rae
Good ones
Blame it on your love
Gone
Boys
Unlock it
Love how she repurposed the titles of tracks like turning b2b on its head from a relationship to non-stop work, or turning talk talk from a hook-up to a house party, this for me is where the concept works so well My top 5: 1. Girl so confusing - Iām kind of over this one now cause itās been out for a while but this version 100% surpasses the original in every way and it undeniably the most poignant moment from this whole brat era
2. Everything is Romantic - This would be my number one if it wasnāt for the icon level of girl so confusing. This is what I wanted out of a brat remix album. Love that itās a conversation, love the mood, middle 8 vocals insane as always v good
3. I think about it all the time - I just knew this would be good and it was, love the rearrangement, Bon iver and charliās voices together works surprisingly well
4. So I - A wonderful re-contextualised narrative around grief - I hope it felt very healing for charli and ag
5. 365 - so good, tied with club classics pretty much for me, but this trumps it because of how explosive it is Low points for me:
Iāve never like the Addison Rae verse since von Dutch remix dropped, but her scream on the end of the track is so sick. the original version of Von Dutch just canāt be touched idk Rewind w bladee just didnāt do it for me, though I like charliās new verse Sympathy is a knife was disappointing, donāt really like the new hook, think the vocals sound clunky tbh but still cool we got to see charli/ Ariana collab Only real skips for me are the rewind and von Dutch remixes
