Charli, whose currently on her Sweat tour with Troye Sivan, is hoping to take Brat summer deep into the fall with the remix. She lined up a star-studded list of collaborators on the new record, including Ariana Grande, Tinashe, The 1975, Bon Iver, and Julian Casablancas among others. The singer also teased the record’s collaborators with a viral campaign of neon green billboards showcasing the artists’ names backwards.
The pop star has kept busy as she’s enjoyed the biggest album rollout of her career with Brat. Charli is set to star in the Pete Ohs-directed film Erupcja, which she secretly filmed in Poland this summer in amid the buzz for her album.
“Charli is an excellent actress,” Ohs said. “She is a performer. She understands what it’s like to have a camera pointed at her. She understands how to convey things through all the different ways in which we communicate, whether it’s with body language or your voice or your facial expressions.”
