https://www.metacritic.com/music/brat/charli-xcx/critic-reviews Is ATRL ready for AOTY?

some points may have been made, but watching M.I.A become a talking head for right-wing pundits/podcast bros in real time is kinda insane

she had a captivating debut (albeit with its fair share of controversies). I think at the time she was able to fill a sort of "alt" girl niche that a lot of girls and gays gravitated to during a musical landscape that was heavily saturated by your more conventional pop girls, so she built a dedicated fanbase from the start. she always stood firm in her artistic vision/decisions and continued to cultivate her craft with every release. NFR! was the clearest demonstration of her having won over the respect of publications and critics that used to drag her through the dirt. I think she also benefitted from doing other engagements and projects outside of her releases that helped boost her profile and expand her reach (movie soundtracks, brand campaigns, etc.) she's just THAT legend

I didn't realize how deep the Slurpentina hate went deserved I think she should have a slight "return to roots" moment with her next project. my growing problem with her is that she tries to position herself as this edgy artist but then the music never really delivers like it should.

I knew somebody would try this. notice how I said I was going to reserve further judgment until I hear the song. but yes, I would say naming SOPHIE and then describing the exact manner in which she died is just categorically pretty literal (once again, I said "literal" not good nor bad).

I guess I'll wait to hear the entire context of the song before forming a judgment on the SOPHIE lyrics, but I really didn't expect them to be so... literal?
