I LIKE IT The remix album A LOT

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 - I’m kind of over this one now cause it’s 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 wasn’t for the icon level of girl so confusing. This is what I wanted out of a brat remix album. Love that it’s 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 charli‘s 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: I’ve 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 can’t be touched idk Rewind w bladee just didn’t do it for me, though I like charli’s new verse Sympathy is a knife was disappointing, don’t 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

Brat

My opinion on "Brat" even though no one asked for it. "Brat" eto ochen horosho as my Russian friend said Charlie managed to produce a successful album—now that's a reason to rejoice. You listen to it in its entirety, understand its general ideas and concept. Not in this vulgar sense of some "super idea," no, this is pop music, everything is simple here, we'll show off some other time. "Brat" is an album about wild fun with a blatant nod to the nineties and about Charlie, who for this album accumulated a lot of internal chaos. Chaos is everywhere—in the music, which jumps from warehouse raves to auto-tuned ballads, in the lyrics, which bounce from "yeah, party time" to "that self-doubt again :(", and in relationships with the outside world: like the song "Girl, So Confusing," obviously written about complicated relationships with the singer Lorde, filled with pretense. And there's Charlie on the release night reposting a cute story from Lorde about how "Brat is the first album I pre-saved" (lol). And it goes on like that all the way. But the best moments are when they let Mike Skinner out... The last thing I expected from a bold pop album were street-wise songs. Like "Mean Girls," where Charlie paints a portrait of today's mean girls in two verses. And when the piano kicks in, I genuinely expect Skinner to jump in from around the corner. The same goes for "Everything is Romantic" with a very Skinner-esque style, again creating a clear picture from chaotic images. And the main song of the album is definitely "365." Where Charlie took the single "360" and transformed it from a cool song into a killer banger that would fit right into the most outrageous scenes from the first "Blade" movie. You know, bodies popping like blood-filled balloons, and then bam—they gather back together. That's the impression the album "Brat" left on me. PS. "Brat" - from russian translates as brother, and Brat eto ochen horosho means - Bro that is very good.

tearcatchers

a myth dating from the victorian period, these tiny, decorative glass bottles were wept into by those mourning their loved ones. once the tears collected eventually evaporated, this marked the end of their mourning period. this myth has been debunked by scientists, with others saying that these bottles were in fact used to store perfumes, but i'm very obsessed with this romantic notion and will be sticking to it!

getting bored of yourself

i see solitude as metamorphosis. you need that time in the cocoon to really check in with yourself and the joy of that comes from how you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself. sometimes i spend SO much time with myself that i get SO BORED that I HAVE to venture outside of myself. when i say venture, i mean challenging myself in how i self- express which will in turn, nourish my interactions with others when i choose to seek company. proceeding to create art, but trying new methods. going down youtube rabbit holes of things i am interested in so i can discover new references. cooking a meal without following a recipe and surprising myself. making the space i am in super cosy (candles, snacks on deck, music, blankets) going on long walks and picking up conversations with strangers through shared observations of life around us. watching music festivals/boiler rooms and dancing around my room like a mad man. once you feel comfortable in being by yourself, you'll be more aware of what you need from your company and when you seek it, you'll be a lot more intentional about it and cherish it even more.

Interrogating your interests

*shines bright light in your face* But WHY do you like what you like?! Echoing a sentiment from Tyler, the Creator, where he tweeted for people to expand on what they liked about his songs and delve into the WHY (i.e the bridge, chords, riffs) Truly believe it’s so so important to be able to articulate why things bring us enjoyment, pleasure and giddiness, because that just makes way for one to obsess/ research and learn more about said thing! This is basically a gratitude post for PI, I just love blagging about what makes this Little Life of Mine more bearable !!!
