Y'all are mad that she wants her album to do well and knows her fans love branding?
The gays have been posting everything green with Brat on it the entire weekend

It's certainly generated a lot of discourse and attention which is ofc what good marketing does
I think people on both sides are probably over thinking it lol

Branding (and not just in a corporate sense) is part of the fun with pop music. Creating visuals and eras and whatnot adds to the fun. It took me a bit to get used to and appreciate those aspects since I was formally a metalhead and metal bands are notoriously bad at that process lol
It would be like watching sports but not having a team affinity

"kinda thing that makes you give it a lol nice grin the first time and then move on"
well yeah... maybe I wouldn't have even checked this otherwise, as it certainly got my attention to the point of being at least curious. So it works
outside of that I don't view the idea positively or negatively, it just is

>her aesthetic just makes my skin crawl and I can never pinpoint exactly why.
'do you have have to make this so easy'
Her sonic aesthetic, not her physical one. It was an unintuitive descriptor, to be sure.

What's her "aesthetic" exactly? Making fun pop music that's well produced and interesting?

Seedy, Sleazy, Playful like a 5 Bob whore on the Romford Rd.

not sure the sports analogy works Odal, but okay, lol
and I'm forcing myself to think about this due to a) boredom and b) didn't realise ppl cared about these things
either way, this is doing very little for me. I'm not a fan of her vocal delivery which renders most of this dead on arrival. A couple of the beats threaten to engage before grinding to a halt. I don't find it particularly catchy. I seem unable to get on-board with this side of pop

and yeah, I assumed you meant this tect. Agreed. It's instinctively off-putting.

I mean it's electro clash/house influenced pop music for clubs, if that's not your thing, I get it, but this is absolutely fantastic
Sympathy is a knife reminds me of early CHVRCHES

this is a really solid album. I agree that there's something instinctively offputting about Charli's "aesthetic", but the proof is in the pudding: "next level charli" is someone yelling at you for three minutes and it's one of the best songs of the past whatever years

Yes to the early CHVRCHES comparison but with thiccer production
|
| |
Album Rating: 5.0
oooh that's a good call with the early chvrches comp. It's definitely a bit more brash and punk than that, but the actual electronic elements are similarly vibrant and adventurous

I have to listen again, but the transition from verse to chorus in "sympathy" is cool, adds intensity in a subtle way

halfway through but this is really fun, sympathy is up there for one of her best songs along with forever

forever starts out like it's gonna be a great song end of story, but doesn't get there for me in the end

Forever is so fucking good

Yeah, Forever is one of her very best. That was the soundtrack to the first month of lockdown for me
