MusicRadar column on three songs from Brat by Charli XCX

Thanks to my editor for giving me a Brat Summer

I have now written three MusicRadar columns in a row on current pop smashes by women. This wasn’t planned; it’s just the way the songs of the summer have played out. I didn't know much about Charli XCX before I wrote this, beyond the fact that she sang some hooks on some radio hits. I'm glad to have had a reason to dig into her music, she is delightful.

This fall I'm teaching theory and aural skills classes in NYU's new popular music sequence, and I have a feeling these three songs are going to be making appearances.
