Basically it's a new album.

The title of Brat and it's completely different, but still brat is exactly what it says on the tin: a whole new album, but that's not it. While there are songs that follow the more traditional aspect of a remix – for example, “Girl, so confusing,” where Charli and Lorde fleshed it out – many of the songs have been rewired with different lyrics, beats and even feelings.

Midway through her Storm King set, which she streamed live on Twitch, Charli explained that she wanted the remix album to explore the “infinite possibilities of dance music and music in general.” As demonstrated on the original recording, which includes some of the singer's earliest work, even the smallest detail of one song can be used to create another.

“There are still so many different versions of the song that could be created with just one tiny production element of the original or one tiny hint of a lyrical concept,” Charli continued. “Why not? Why just say, 'It's the album and it's done.'”

It's a reflection on Charli's newfound fame.

When brat Charli debuted in June and was already an established artist, but the virality of brat The summer launched them into a new genre of fame (e.g. Obama's annual playlist-level fame). Your suburban family now knows something brat It's summer (and think they had one), and somewhere along the way they may have figured out what and where Bushwick is.

Brat and it's completely different, but still brat touches on the aftermath of Charli's whirlwind rise to mega-fame. “Sympathy is a Knife,” once a song about feeling insecure in the spotlight of a bigger star, is remixed with her (perhaps) most mainstream colleague of all time: Ariana Grande. On the track, the two complain about being dissected by the media, being fake friends and being compared to the “old” version of themselves.

Charli gives her friends her flowers.

Nevertheless, there are many well-known employees brat and it's completely different, but still brat, Proving friendship is one thing that always works in remixing. The tracks are electrified by a wide range of personalities, most of whom Charli has had a personal relationship with for years. Longtime producer and pal AG Cook delivers a touching remix of “So I,” paying tribute to his and Charli’s late friend and collaborator SOPHIE.

While Charli attracts new faces like Bb Trickz to join her brat On the roster, she stays mostly in the family with peers like Caroline Polacheck and Lorde, both of whom she says have inspired her music. Charli enjoys the collaboration, as evidenced by the way she praises their respective remixes when played live at Storm King: “Didn't she just eat that part up? She ate me up!” Overall, her remix album reads like a playlist curated by friends.
