Lovelovelove the new versions. Like Charli said in her Zane Lowe interview, it’s not really a remix album - it’s a whole new album. These are songs reworked into new songs. It reminds me of c 2.0 from her HIFN album - it’s essentially a part two or ‘rework’ of an already existing song. 

Yeah. She's approached these remixes more liberally, like how Mariah used to create entirely new songs out of her mixes. There's a new point of view here, and more artistic merit than if Charli were to slap a guest verse on the original tracks and/or release a set of basic club mixes (which can be great in their own right!). She's responding to her newfound success and fame in real time. The same success she wrote about being envious of others for and wanting on OG Brat. But it has only created a new set of problems for her and she's wondering if it's actually what she wants now, while being aware that she will likely never reach these heights again.

I think it's a great move.

I love that this remix album will filter out some of those newer fans who only like brat. This album is very charli and I like the slower introspective vibe this one gives, it's very much the complementary comedown of the high that was brat

Ari didnt Ari much in that remix. I was looking forward to that but meh

[Elohim 1,450]

I can’t wait, didn't liked brat much, maybe because I feel Charli is really great at making fantastic collabs, and brat had none.

so when she announced this slbum I was extremely excited, hoping it’ll give POP2 vibes

Mhmm I agree it’s interesting to have this respond to the rapid and outsized impact of the og album so quickly. It reminds me a LOT of HIFN in that regard. Quickly reacting to life changing events and basically becoming a diary of a time

love every track here omg, she really said it's BRAT AUTUMN 

this album is bigggg fall vibes, it's a genuinely interesting remix project bc some of these are more than just remixes, they're completely new versions of the songs and built upon small samples/references to the originals. 

I absolutely LOVE the Everything is Romantic, Sympathy is a Knife, Mean Girls, I think about it all the time, & I might say something stupid remixes they're all so different and new and bring a totally different perspective to the song that make elevate the originals in a way. 

the list of features is truly the most wide reaching Charli has ever curated. 

Brat, as a project, as a whole is a damn masterpiece

[OMF 3,115]

Some of the remixes were a surprise and also a let down for me. Sympathy is a knife sounds so different and Ariana is again under-utilised I feel. I might say something stupid was also…odd. 

[Cybikitty 1,580]

finding it funny how the tracks i love on the remix album are the ones that i skip on the original

the so i remix is incredible, truly feels like an encore to the original tribute to SOPHIE

[robbiemalik 780]

The last 30 seconds of sympathy is a knife remix should’ve been the whole production 

[Monstermilo 3,618]

i hate when ari dumbs down her voice to fit a song. i think she wouldve been better on a diff song

[Plastic Flower 3,711]

Rewind, Everything is romantic and So I are my stand outs so far, I haven't finished the album.

I know Charli wanted to make different versions of the songs for this, but it hurts my heart that we don’t get Ari belting that ‘iiiiiiiii couldn’t even be her if I tried’
