How much is there even left to say about BRAT ? The Angel became a God this year, draped in bright green robes the size of a stadium. Whatever your explanation for the feverish BRAT Summer–recession dance, election jitters, collective post-COVID mania– none of it could have caught fire without the brilliant and innovative BRAT herself. Weaving together hope, sympathy, regret—Addison, motherhood, Lorde: BRAT will bring a mirror up to your face before you finally bring your face down to the mirror. Hyperpop has finally become Pop: Charli, thank you for your service.
