milennial queen. i love her having this breakthrough in her early 30s. very inspiring. there's plenty of time even when it doesnt feel like it

[@org6760]

She's milennial but almost Gen Z bc Millenials were born between 1980 and 1994, Gen Z were born between 1995 and 2009/10. So some people in their 40s are Milennials and she's obly 32... She was born in 1992, so almost a Gen Z, 2 years only. That's why she has a lot in common with Gen Z (more than with older Millenials). And thats why she makes albums like Brat

49:10 and that's what the essence of brat is: it's tapping into that part of yourself that only you can access. it's kinda of ignoring all the things that make you palatable or easily comparable to others and may allow you to fit into any premeditated mold; and actually it's about embracing the flaws of yourself, your work, the things that you think about and running with them.

Gosh her cadence, timing and intonation is always just so naturally hilarious. I have no doubt she'll be a fantastic actress. She is one of the most thoughtful and eloquent people in music. Someone who is so deeply IN it, able and eager to really communicate these lesser-spoken-about ideas and be so forthcoming about it. Always a joy to hear her speak.

Man, I saw an ad at a train station in London and thought I’d have to give this album a listen. Then when it was out I had to listen to it a few times to kind of get into it because it sounded to foreign, if that makes sense. At that time I realised that it felt like Charli’s music now finally takes off greatly and that I’ve been listening to her music for such a long time I hadn’t even in mind. And having seen all the content about live performances I have been wondering how she’s feeling with all the partying - got my answer, haha! Everything else in this interview is also so interesting, including how the packaging for the album came to be, also the, it feels like, spontaneity of it all. Thank you for this interview! 😀
