The Brat of Pop (Vol.1) Essays on Charli XCX

It took six albums and roughly fourteen years for Charli XCX to "get her flowers" for the innovations she's contributed to music. In this collection, pop culture essayist Genna Rivieccio traces the germinal beginnings of XCX to her modern incarnation as not just the Queen of Hyperpop (or "Bratpop," if you prefer), but the preeminent icon of the current pop landscape. From the days of her "fucking terrible MySpace music" to becoming her own "favorite reference," the XCX journey has hardly been an easy or "overnight" road.

Luckily, as Charli's music indicates, she likes taking long, unpredictable car rides. As long as the car in question is posh enough for a brat's tastes. So get in loser, we're taking a deep dive into Charli's impact...vroom vroom!
