In summer 2024, Charli XCX released BRAT. It defined the summer with songs like ‘360’, ‘Apple’ and ‘Von Dutch’, but it was more than perfect pop – it was fashion, it was an attitude, it was a cultural phenomenon. This book charts the rise of Charli XCX – from ‘young girl from Essex’ to pop icon. Written by music journalist Charlotte Gunn, this book is a deep-dive into the music, styles and influence of Charli . Complete with behind-the-scenes stories and incredible photos , chapters delve into her early musical inspirations to her collaborations with Troye Sivane and Billie Eilish , from her inimitable lyrical vulnerability and the lockdown recording of the album How I’m Feeling Now , which resonated with a huge LGBTQ audience. While nothing can compare to the energy of a CharliXCX gig, this book is the next best thing.
