Pop’s hatchet burial of the decade — orchestrated by Charli XCX and Lorde — was a whip-smart document of mixed signals and mended relationships when it debuted last year as part of Charli’s BRAT rollout, and the song sounds just as fresh when filtered through Chainlacing’s dreamy “gloomgaze” this winter. The cover from the New Hampshire band appears on a […]

She’s going to be in Gregg Araki’s I Want Your Sex, Romain Gavrais’ Sacrifice, Pete Ohs’ Eruptcja, and we’re sure that we’ve forgotten […]

First, we’re keenly aware that we’ll get a billion emails from publicists should we leave off the quotation marks, so we’ll go ahead and honor this typographic buffoonery to spare everyone the hassle. The second is Goddamn, this is an attractive motion picture. Sure, the cinematography looks nice and such, but everyone’s so… movie-star handsome. We love a little glamor every now […]

]]> Boston’s ‘brat summer’ is ‘insane’, ‘chaotic’, and not slowing down https://vanyaland.com/2024/08/29/bostons-brat-summer-is-insane-chaotic-and-not-slowing-down/ Thu, 29 Aug 2024 15:10:25 +0000 https://vanyaland.com/?p=10039432 With Labor Day weekend upon us, it seems brat summer must draw to a close. The Charli XCX seasonal renaissance, which kicked off in early June with the release of the British musician’s sixth album, comes to its natural conclusion as New England leaves the Cape behind for autumnal leaf peeping — unless the people of Boston have anything to say about it. Across the city, everyone’s been leaning into the cultural moment, for better (such as over at the […]

That’s the move of Charli XCX, who fresh off the extended life cycle of Crash has teamed with Tiësto for a club-minded jam called “Hot In It.” Excuse us while we swan dive into it just ahead of the long July 4 holiday […]

And to get us all worked up into a daydream lather, she dropped the stunning video to fresh party anthem banger “Used To Know Me,” the latest dazzler from last month’s Crash album. The Alex Lill-directed video takes Charli on a wild trip through eras and scenes through the imagination of a […]

Over the past several months we’ve been blessed with a string of sterling dance-minded singles from the LP — read all our hits — but over the weekend, our angelic alt-pop giver brought the goods to Saturday Night Live, where she delivered fevered renditions of “Beg For You” and recent banger “Baby.” Hell, just […]
