The narrative of identity dissonance in ’s post-Brat era.

I made a vid abt how “Rock Music” was Charli breaking the fourth wall of her ‘mockumentary’ The Moment. Now she steps through the screen in “SS26,” to sit in the theater she’s built and watch what she created unfold alongside the rest of us.

After a massive album that built sm cultural capital and momentum, it makes sense that any artist would examine the weight of it all — and that the answers (or lack thereof) would influence the next move. Part of Charli’s brilliance is continuing to air out her personal interrogation of celebrity and artistry in the art itself, making it part of the music’s narrative so that we continue to experience the Brat arc, and live through not only The Moment but what happens after it ends.

Also side theory / hope is that Charli keeps leveraging and celebrating the music video medium in this new era. SS26 is an earworm fs but it’s the video that really drives home the meta auteurism. Obv makes sense for an artist who’s increasingly involved in cinema these days, but also bring back mtv know what I mean ???

on the inter-song dialogue between herself and in “All That Falls Apart” / “Comes Together” and why it’s the heart of her latest album HUMANiSE

just before her b3b with Romy and Fred again.. in January, HAAi and I did a deep dive on her sophomore LP and i got to fall in love with it all over again. we talked about easter eggs hidden throughout the album; how both the club and choirs were equally important to its sonic foundations; how her collaborators inspire community on and off the tracks; and how the album’s structure itself holds the key for her intention with it. plus, London’s rave scene, her time with Romy and Fred, and her forthcoming plans for HUMANiSE.

i love love love this interview. watch it in my bio :)

also shout out for letting us film this in his apt !! and play w his pets and drink his tea lol
