ICYMI: An alleged tracklist of ‘Brat and it’s completely different but also still Brat’ has surfaced online 🚨

Just when we thought Brat summer was coming to an end, pop renegade Charli XCX has snapped into action once more with, what seems like, a remix version of her lauded sixth studio album.

Over a decade into her career, the visionary icon has established herself as the music industry’s it-girl, building a bridge between underground and mainstream audiences. This year’s slick, feverish ‘Brat’ propelled the artist into the spotlight like never before, bending the boundaries of genre, kickstarting social trends and securing a spot on the Mercury Prize shortlist. Upon its launch, the album found itself competing against the re-releasing tactics of Taylor Swift, pulling into question how long one can suspend their momentum across the charts.

In turn, Charli XCX has somewhat dabbled in a similar game, drip-feeding her fans with blockbuster collaborations, deluxe releases and brand partnerships (let’s be honest, an H&M collaboration wasn’t quite where we expected her to head). Set to land on October 11th, ‘Brat and it’s completely different but also still Brat’ promises to re-vamp the album’s original tracklist, amplifying its buzz through an alleged list circulating online. Yet to be confirmed, the list foreshadows a Madonna feature on ‘Club Classics’, whilst ‘Everything is romantic’ could be graced by the illustrious Rosalía. Elsewhere, there are whispers of a SOPHIE remix of ‘So i’, alongside appearances from Caroline Polachek, Grimes, Kesha, PinkPantheress and more.

Amongst the bounce-back of ‘Brat’, Charli XCX will uptake the role of Erika Tracey in Gregg Arak’s erotic thriller ‘I Want Your Sex’, joined by leads Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman.

ICYMI: How far will the standards of stardom be pushed? 🚨

It’s a question that viewers have been mulling over since the launch of Netflix’s ‘Pop Star Academy: Katseye’, an eight-part series that investigates the formation of global girlband, Katseye.

Captured by director Nadia Hallgren over the course of 18 months, the show lifts the curtain on ‘The Debut: Dream Academy’, an intensive training scheme that focuses on areas of vocal performance, choreography, media training to piece together the world’s next music sensations.

At first drawing over 120,000 applications, the LA-based artist development programme plucks out twenty contestants aged between 15 to 21, yet to discover that they will be participating in a months long survival competition.

Throughout, the show highlights the mental and physical pressures that haunt the entertainment industry, placing heightened amounts of pressure on budding talent through a rigurorous public voting system.

Driven by major US label Geffen Records and the masterminds behind K-pop outfit BTS, HYBE, the competition environment proves itself toxic and rigid as the girls work their way through a series of missions, group tasks and eliminations.

Emerging from the grand finale as the new faces of Katseye, Manon, Sophia, Daniela, Lara, Megan, and Yoonchae illustrate the cost of global success, one that Hallgren acknowledges: “You can have all the talent in the world, you could have the best training and the fancy schools, if you have access, but can you mentally push through to get to the end?”

Since the release of their debut EP ‘Sis (Soft Is Strong), Katseye have amassed over eight million monthly listeners on Spotify, a calculated force of momentum that is sure to multiply, but at what cost?

ICYMI: Alex Consani is making her own history 🚨

American model and influencer Alex Consani is the first transgender woman to be nominated for model of the year.

The 21-year-old started modelling in 2015 and became the world’s youngest transgender model to join an agency at just 12. She has now walked for nearly 20 shows including Simone Rocha, Marc Jacobs and Helmut Lang. Vogue named her one of the stand-out models of Spring/Summer 2023, during which she walked for Burberry, Hugo Boss and Roberto Cavalli.

In 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic, she took to TikTok under the alias captincroook and gained traction for her absurd Gen-Z content. By 2024, Consani had over 2 million followers and 150 million likes across her videos on TikTok. She also appeared in music videos for the JT song “Okay” and Charli XCX’s “360”.

Most recently, The British Fashion Council (BFC) announced its nominations for the 2024 Fashion Awards and Alex Consani got a nomination for Model of the Year, making her the first transgender woman in the category.

It appears that Consani might be 2024s new ‘It Girl’ and we couldn’t be happier about it. The model has taken both the runway and TikTok by storm - and now she could make history.
