BRAT
ATLANTIC
What’s left to say about the most talked about album of the year? If you’ve already succumbed to the fanfare, you’ll know how special this album is but, if you’ve dismissed this as just another hyped up pop record, then read on… .
Good pop’s hard to come by. It needs to be ground-breaking but accessible. Adventurous but catchy. Familiar but new. A lot of pop albums hit some of these. The banks of writers, the “creative directors”, the expensive studios can help, for sure. But magic can’t be manufactured. All the knob twiddling and electronic manipulation can’t replace pure imagination or creativity. And, most importantly, it can’t beget having something worthwhile and engaging to say.
This is what makes ‘BRAT’ the unstoppable gem that it is. It’s vulnerable, talking about lost friends, ageing, competitive friendships. But it’s also full of bravado and brashness. A treatise on what femininity means for women who assert themselves. The tension is what holds ‘BRAT’ together, the conflict forging a pertinently human portrait.
That portrait is rendered brightly with production so futuristic you’ll be hearing it regularly aped by lesser popstars. Electric, emotive, restless but also sympathetic to an artist who doesn’t shy away from hard emotion.
