Charli XCX Unveils Bold Album Manifesto

Charli XCX has unveiled her manifesto for her album 'Brat', emphasizing a bold and polarizing artistic vision that merges 'high art' with 'low art'.

Charli's manifesto outlines a marketing strategy focused on 'desire, chaos, and destruction', showcasing her intent to redefine pop culture and engage her fanbase, known as the Angels, in the campaign. Released in June 2024, 'Brat' debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and has since garnered significant critical acclaim, including eight Grammy nominations. The album's impact extended beyond music, influencing fashion trends and even intersecting with political discourse during the U.S. presidential election. Charli's innovative approach and strategic planning have positioned 'Brat' as a cultural phenomenon and a critical success in 2024.
