SLUG Soundwaves is back with another review episode, where listeners can hear our online-exclusive music reviews in audio format, read by the author themself. This week, SLUG Contributing Writer Arthur Diaz reads their review of British pop icon Charli xcx’s newest album BRAT. You might think that there is nothing new that could be said of BRAT or of Charli herself, but we have all lived through the phenomenon of “brat summer,” which has recently been laid to rest (for now). In this episode, Diaz dives into the multilayered themes that make up both the album BRAT and the archetype of the “brat,” and what it can teach us about ourselves. Read the written review of the album here.
