Charli XCX’s new album BRAT debuts as ‘the most critically acclaimed album of the year’, surpassing Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.

He released his new album BRAT on Friday.

And 31-year-old Charli

Number one position in metacriticCharli’s new album, BRAT, surpassed Queen B’s hit country-pop album, Cowboy Carter, which was released on March 29 and is the singer’s eighth studio album.

According to review aggregator Metacritic, it received “universal acclaim” based on a score of 92 out of 100 from 11 critics.

BRAT is the singer’s sixth studio album, and the record reportedly evokes and channels the illegal London rave scene where Charli began performing when she was 14 or 15 years old.

According to Charli XCX, BRAT is her “most aggressive and confrontational album”, but also her most vulnerable.

In February, the star debuted snippets of tracks during his set at the Boiler Room warehouse, including tracks identified as ‘Spring Breakers’ and 365.

It comes after Charli revealed her song Von Dutch is a diss track and left TikTokers guessing whether it’s another artist or, interestingly, Rishi Sunak.

The British pop singer, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, posted a video on TikTok where she explained to fans that her upcoming album Brat does not contain a diss track and instead reflects on the struggles of being a female artist.

The Speed ​​Drive hitmaker insisted that the only offensive song on her album is the song ‘Von Dutch’, which was released on February 29 this year.

Charlie took to social media to squash speculation about the new album, Brat, which was released on June 7.

She said: “I’m seeing online that some people think there are warp tracks on Brat, and I just want to reach out to her and clarify that there aren’t any apart from Von Dutch, which is kind of like that.”

The Von Dutch hitmaker looked casual as she appeared makeup-free and with her long wavy hair pulled back into a loose ponytail to address the rumors.

She told users: ‘The other tracks in question are not. They’re actually about how complicated it is to be an artist, especially a female artist, where you’re pitted against your peers but you’re also constantly expected to be each person’s best friend, and if you’re not, you’re considered a Bad Feminist.

“To me, that’s a very unrealistic expectation.”

After posting the video, the pop princess received an avalanche of comments from her fans, who were desperately trying to figure out which song she intended to attack.

Typically used to attack another artist in the industry, diss tracks have been popular within the rap genre as a way to attack a rival.

A famous example was Jay-Z’s release of the song ‘Takeover’ in 2001, which included comments about his nemesis, Nas, another hip-hop artist.

However, fans of the pop artist have come up with their own unusual theories about who the dance hit is about – with some even convinced it could be Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

“Can you come for Queen Rishi Sunak?” wrote one.

When answering who the song is about, another user confidently said: ‘Rishi Sunak’.

However, the current Prime Minister is not the only one under fire, as it has been suggested that several other artists are the target behind the catchy dancefloor.

“FKA Twigs, it’s so obvious,” one TikToker wrote, while others suggested Ariana Grande, Pink Pantheress, Lorde and, perhaps most bizarrely, one user alluded to Queen Camilla.

While it is unclear who the song is referring to, the singer insists that the rest of the album does not reflect a disagreement with any other individual.

In the video, she added: “To me, these songs are about how, as a woman and an artist, some days you can feel on top of the world, some days you can feel incredibly insecure, other days you can feel very competitive.” , sometimes you can literally feel like trash.

“It’s really emotional and hard to deal with and we’re not supposed to talk about it, but these songs do talk about it and I’ll probably get punished for it, but whatever, it’s reality.”
