Anticipating the release of Brat, the cover art of her discography was updated across streaming platforms to match its appearance.

Brat's artwork and packaging was designed by New York City-based studio Special Offer, Inc. [38] The cover is a lime green square with the title in lowercase imposed in sans-serif font. In a cover story interview for Vogue Singapore , Charli told Chandreyee Ray that criticism led her to question why fans feel "ownership over female artists" so much so that they demand their photograph be on all their work; she had previously called it "mysoginistic[ sic ] and boring" on X. Of the album cover's colour, she said that green was heavily oversaturated in the media and fashion: "I wanted to go with an offensive, off-trend shade of green to trigger the idea of something being wrong. I'd like for us to question our expectations of pop culture—why are some things considered good and acceptable, and some things deemed bad? I'm interested in the narratives behind that and I want to provoke people. I'm not doing things to be nice". [39]

Despite its simple appearance, the album cover's design underwent a five-month development process, maintaining a green square with text. Freaney selected the colour after examining around 500 shades, aiming for an off-putting, garish effect. The final shade resonated with Charli's vision of bold irreverence. The typography, based on Arial, was chosen for its non-"precious" feel. While considering various Swiss typefaces, Freaney wanted to surpass Helvetica. The text, slightly stretched to "give it a personality", is awkwardly placed to be neither small and tasteful nor large and loud, creating an opinion-less aesthetic. [40]

In the weeks leading up to Brat's release, a wall in Greenpoint, Brooklyn—which fans called the "brat wall"—was painted and repainted with the album's signature green color and various messages. Over the summer, its messages changed frequently in line with the album's promotion cycle. The first message was "i'm your fav reference"—a lyric from the single "360"—before it was repainted to simply "brat". On June 10, when Brat's deluxe edition was released, the wall was changed to white with the message "brat and it's the same but there's three more songs so it's not". By the middle of June, the wall remained white but changed its message to "lorde", indicating Lorde's possible involvement with future releases pertaining to Brat, which soon appeared in the remix version of "Girl, So Confusing". The final message of the Brat wall—"ok bye!" in the album's signature green—was painted on July 1. [41]

kamala IS brat

Jul 22, 2024 [42]

People 's Sadie Bell linked the album cover with the nature of the album, which Charli XCX called "confrontational". [43] Dubbed the "Brat summer" trend, the style of album cover and the specific shade of green became a viral sensation after a "Brat generator" tool surfaced online that allowed users to replicate the cover with their own custom text. [44] [45] [46] [47] The London Eye landmark was lit up in lime green on the day of the album's release. [48] National Geographic acknowledged the album and the "brat girl" persona in a Brat-themed article discussing rebellious female icons throughout history, including Cleopatra, Wu Zetian, Lucrezia Borgia, Georgiana Cavendish, and Aurore Dupin. [49]

Brat has also become a trend on TikTok, with millions of users posting dance videos choreographed to songs such as "Apple."

In political campaigning

As part of their 2024 election campaign, the Green Party of England and Wales posted a replica of the album cover to social media that read "vote green" instead of "brat". [50]

After Joe Biden decided to withdraw from the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the official Biden-Harris campaign profile renamed itself "Kamala HQ", endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, and changed its banner picture in imitation of the album cover, replacing "brat" with "kamala hq". [52] This occurred after Charli XCX endorsed Harris on X (formerly Twitter), posting the statement "kamala IS brat". [53] [54] [55] [56] [57] Multiple TikTok videos have shown edits of songs from the album with footage of Harris in the background. Some analysts have suggested the connection between the campaign and album will create enthusiasm among young voters. [58] [59] [60]

According to the review aggregator Metacritic , Brat received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 95 out of 100 from 24 critic scores. [62] The website's report reads, "Critics have embraced the album's rave-influenced sound that eliminates some of the accessibility (and guest stars) of prior album Crash in favor of a rawer, grittier, and more sophisticated sound that is no less fun. Club classic, indeed." As of August 2024, it ranks as the highest-rated album of 2024 [71] and the 16th-highest-rated album of all time on the website. [72] The review aggregator site AnyDecentMusic? compiled 28 reviews and gave the album an average of 8.7 out of 10. [61] Critics praised Charli XCX's emotional vulnerability and several declared Brat to be one of her best albums, [73] [68] [74] [75] with Laura Snapes of The Guardian calling it a masterpiece. [65]

Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine described the album as "bratty and brash" but "frequently vulnerable". [70] Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone wrote that Brat was a "hyperpop rollercoaster of post-Saturn return, early-thirties anxieties, and It-girl bravado". [25] Ben Tipple from DIY saw the album as a manifestation of the singer's rave roots, dubbing it "an unmistakable representation of her very core; an exhilarating ode to the multiple facets of club culture". [76]

Meaghan Garvey of Pitchfork lauded the album as "substantial in new ways for Charli" and gave it the distinction of Best New Music. [77] Pitchfork also recognized "Von Dutch" and the "Girl, So Confusing" remix with Lorde as Best New Tracks upon their respective releases. [78] [79] Writing for Paste , Eric Bennett praised the album and described it as "messy and vulnerable... in a way Charli's work has lacked over the last decade". [26] Music critic and YouTuber Anthony Fantano gave Brat a rare perfect score. [80] [81]

Commercial performance

In the United Kingdom, Brat debuted at number two (selling 27,234 units) on the UK Albums Chart, earning Charli her second top ten charting album and her biggest opening week sales in the country. [82] This sparked controversy among media outlets who accused Taylor Swift of hogging the number one spot in the UK by releasing a new version of her most recent album, available only in the UK, the same week that Brat was released. [83] [84] As of July 25, 2024, it sold 71,738 copies in the country. [85]

In the US, Brat debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 with 77,000 album-equivalent units sold on its opening week, consisting of 40,000 pure album sales. With this feat, it became Charli's highest charting album in the country. It also earned Charli her highest first week overall sales and her biggest streaming week ever with 46.72 million streams.
