As a music enthusiast who has followed both Lorde and Charli XCX since their early careers, I must say that it is truly fascinating to witness the evolution of these two exceptional artists. While Lorde’s “Royals” undeniably paved the way for Charli, their musical styles have always been distinctly different.


As a long-time fan of Charli XCX, I can confidently say that she has left me breathless this summer with her latest hyperpop album “Brat.” Growing up in the ’00s music scene, I’ve witnessed many artists come and go, but Charli XCX stands out as a trailblazer who consistently pushes boundaries and delivers fresh, innovative sounds.

As a devoted fan, I observed Adele, aged 31, exuding strong Brat energy while strolling through Los Angeles on Thursday.

Charlie, whose full name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, was seen having breakfast at a casual dining spot called All Time.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but express my awe over the mesmerizing sight of her casually striding towards her vehicle in a captivating low-rise, semi-transparent black skirt. The way it subtly hinted at her choice of underwear was nothing short of enchanting.

The creator of trendy hits paired a Y2K-evoking skirt elegantly with a black boatneck blouse and casual black flip-flops.

Her wavy raven tresses were swept up in a claw clip and she shielded her eyes with designer shades.

In a natural, easy-to-read manner: Charli seemed to have an impeccable complexion that day, as if she had subtly applied makeup for her casual breakfast outing in Los Angeles.

She carried her belongings in what appeared to be a padded black Prada purse.

Charli’s outing comes just hours after she confirmed fans suspicions of a collaboration with fellow pop superstar Billie Eilish

She gave a hint of the forthcoming track on Instagram, posting a sneak preview a few hours prior to its unveiling.

Initially, Charli set the web abuzz on Wednesday when she posted an enigmatic photograph featuring merely two bodies, with their heads visible from beyond the frame.

Following a query about who might be the special guest on her upcoming remix of the track “Guess” from her sixth album “Brat,” social media buzzed with speculation that they had discovered the collaborator’s name.

Indeed, it appears my instincts were correct, for Charli has verified that our joint project will be unveiled at 6 PM EST on this very Thursday, which translates to 11 PM here in the UK.

At the start, Charli put on her distinctive black sunglasses for a tight shot before querying the camera, “Hi Billie, can you hear me?”

In the song’s prelude prior to the concluding scene, Charli and Billie are depicted falling onto a heap of undergarments. This is an allusion to the song’s words, “Can you guess the color of my underwear?”

Confirming in the caption, Charli wrote: ‘Guess featuring Billie Eilish – Out at 6pm est.’

Replying to the news, Charli’s close friend and fellow popstar Troye Sivan wrote: ‘yessss’.

1. Fans enthusiastically expressed: “Wow, Oomfie teaming up with Billie, kudos to you”; “Unbelievable! This is fantastic!!!”; “I can hardly believe it”; “I’m overjoyed”; “You’re the epitome of pop music excellence.”

Billie Eilish shared on her Instagram Story that she’s part of a new song. She reposted the clip and captioned it, “I’m featured in this one! (Hint: It’s meeeeeeeee).”

Based on the photo Charli posted earlier this week, I anticipated that Billie might join the track, and my prediction turned out to be correct.

Attentive followers of Billie Eilish noticed that the individual in the image sported identical rings to those the songwriter, known for her hit “Bad Guy,” often wears in her recent social media updates.

‘The rings… it seems like Billie Eilish, can you believe it?!’, one fan enthusiastically suggested as they compared Charli XCX’s recent post with another image from Eilish’s Instagram, both featuring the distinctive accessories.

Another tweeted: ‘BILLIE X CHARLI I JUST FELL TO MY KNEEESSSS.’

‘OH MY GOOOODDDDDDDDD,’ a third X user wrote.

A fourth jokingly asked: ‘Does their name start with a B and end with ‘illie?’

Beyond the rings, another spectator also noted that Eilish is currently the sole individual sporting three pairs of briefs.

On UPROXX’s website, they noted that the text on the right side of the image is used to subtly hint at the highlighted artist, and the number of underscores (13) corresponds with the count of characters in “Billie Eilish” when spaces are included.

Charli XCX’s popular song starts with suggestive lyrics such as: “Do you want to guess the color of my undergarments? Are you curious about what I have below? Is it a soft pink or completely transparent? Or is it showcasing my fresh, new lower back ink? Would you like to explore that area, sliding them down south?”

As a die-hard fan of both Charli XCX and Lorde, I must say that their collaboration on the remix of “Girl, So Confusing” this summer was nothing short of electrifying! Having grown up listening to both artists, it was surreal to see them come together on a track. The remixed version was released last month, and it has been on repeat ever since. Their unique styles perfectly blend in this song, creating an anthem that resonates deeply with me. I can’t wait to see what these talented ladies cook up next!

The shock collaboration follows rumours that the track on Charli’s album BRAT was about Lorde.

In the initial text, Charli talks about a complex and perplexing connection she shares with another female artist, whom she finds quite dissimilar to herself.

As a lifestyle expert, I might rephrase that lyric as follows: “Ever since we both debuted in the music world, folks have been quick to draw parallels between us. They point out our similar hairstyles and shared passion for creating tunes. However, I can’t help but wonder if these comparisons truly reflect who we are and what we stand for.”

In an unexpected twist of the tune, Lorde, aged 27, appears to acknowledge that the track is based on personal experiences and addresses the controversy surrounding it.

The Green Light hitmaker sings: ‘Well honestly I was speechless/ When I woke up to your voice note / You told me how you’ve been feeling / Let’s work it out on the remix.

You’d often suggest, “Let’s step out,” but then I would back out at the last moment. My thoughts consumed me deeply, and I was terrified about being in the photos.

In the chorus, they harmoniously sing out: “Once we settle this issue, the internet is bound to explode with excitement.”

Now that they have hashed it out, the artists have no problem with supporting each other publicly.

As a devoted fan, I couldn’t help but share on my Instagram stories after the release of BRAT – “Today’s the day! The one and only album I’ve ever pre-saved is now available for all to listen. Charli has truly outdone herself with this unique creation.”

Demonstrating immense determination, elegance, and commitment, her work leaves a profound impact on us. On behalf of everyone, I express admiration for being touched, transformed, and astonished by her creations. Truly unique in her craft, she stands out from the rest.

In May, Charli confided in Rolling Stone that earlier on, she felt intensely envious of Lorde’s success during her initial career phase.

She mentioned that she seemed to be a fan of your music, noting similarities such as us both having big hair and her wearing black lipstick, which you’ve also sported on occasion.

You draw similarities and reflect, “That might’ve been my story.” Yet, it wouldn’t be, as our individuality sets us apart fundamentally.

“Actually, my music didn’t resemble Royals at all. It might be that you are projecting your own insecurities about your own work onto it.”

An interviewer even once mistook Charli for Lorde and she played along, pretending she was her.

I’ve been utterly captivated by the musical genius that is Charli XCX! Her groundbreaking hyper pop-electronic masterpiece, BRAT, has taken the world by storm this year, earning the title of ‘most critically acclaimed record’ over Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter and Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department. I can hardly contain my excitement!

In a notable shift, Charli’s latest album BRAT has surpassed Taylor Swift’s recently released country-pop album, Cowboy Casanova, on Metacritic. Cowboy Casanova, which dropped on March 29 and marks the singer’s eighth studio album, has found itself trailing behind BRAT in terms of critical acclaim.

As per the assessment by review aggregator Metacritic, it earned an exceptional rating of ‘universal acclaim’, with a score of 92 out of 100, based on reviews from 11 different critics.

The singer’s sixth studio album, titled BRAT, seems to draw inspiration from and echoes the atmosphere of the underground London raves that the artist began attending at age 14 or 15.

As a lifestyle enthusiast delving into music, I’ve found that Charli XCX’s latest album, BRAT, stands out as her boldest and most confrontational work yet. Yet, beneath the aggressive exterior lies her rawest and most exposed self, making it her most vulnerable record to date.
