Charli xcx - Brat

The SWEAT Tour VR thing was so lame considering how important the camera work was at the actual show, like seeing her from the camera's POV during songs like Von Dutch IS the performance, but on this thing you're kind of stuck seeing it from the side of the stage ddd.

I actually switched it off. I just so bored, which I’m solely putting down to appalling camera work decisions.

These demo snippets that have leaked are really interesting because they’re a lot more clubby than the album ended up being. And we still need a proper dance remix album, the mixes from the Boiler Room sets are so, so good.

I saw people mentioning that they were receiving notices and instant take-downs from the snippets that have been leaked, so they might be up to something and trying to keep hold of these songs.

I don’t remember her team acting this quick to take anything down before.

Yeah, her team typically doesn’t give a fuck about leaks dd. It’s also possible she’s optioning tracks off to other artists. I noticed when she was flipping through her diaries over the summer there were some songs with artist names written next to them. I remember seeing “In The City”, a couple Robyn ones, and then one for Ellie Goulding?
 
I managed to track down a copy of Billboard's Grammy voter guide that was posted about last month, and beyond having a Brat-themed wrap around ad for the book, Charli also has a centerfold that opens up into 4 panels with all her nominations on each side. It's really cool!
Fingers crossed all the industry love manifests itself into an album of the year win!

I can't find the one with the other Robyn collabs mindtrappa mentioned, but just quickly found this on Reddit. It's from one of the diary variants and has a tracklist with a bunch of titles that didn't make the final cut:

Eternal Flame
The Garden
Annie
He Wears His Sunglasses at Night
Tale as Old as Time / True Love Never Dies
Hurt You First
Throw Myself Into a Wall
Don't You Know Who I Am

I'd assume these got pretty close to finished since 9 of the other songs on that version actually made the album. I could see her doing a b-sides / unreleased companion piece this year.
