Be Cautious: Charli XCX Says Lying Is ‘So Fun, So Brat’

Charli XCX’s stylistically diverse discography showcases her unique approach to music, and it appears that her distinctiveness extends beyond her music to her interviews as well. In a recent interview, Charli candidly expressed her unconventional views on honesty in the press.

During a conversation with Vulture, Charli remarked, “Lying is so fun, so brat. Who made this rule that you have to be truthful and honest in the press as an artist? The press is just a tool.” This insight highlights Charli’s playful attitude towards media interactions and her willingness to blur the lines of traditional expectations.

The interview also features high praise from well-known artists like Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish. Swift, reflecting on Charli’s influence, said, “I’ve been blown away by Charli’s melodic sensibilities since I first heard ‘Stay Away’ in 2011. Her writing is surreal and inventive, always. She just takes a song to places you wouldn’t expect it to go, and she’s been doing it consistently for over a decade. I love to see hard work like that pay off.” Billie Eilish, a partner in the “Guess” campaign, lauded Charli as the “coolest b*tch I know” and felt honored to participate in “Brat Summer.”

The article reveals that Charli has been collaborating with notable artists such as Bon Iver and Danielle Haim, indicating her continuous evolution and engagement with diverse musical influences.

Charli also opened up about her relationship with Atlantic Records. “I’ve always been … interpreted as difficult. I have a high standard, and I don’t think they’re right always. And I’m not willing to do something just because they think it’s right. They don’t know what’s best for me and my career, you know? I don’t suffer bullsh*tters, you know? There are a lot of bullsh*tters in the music industry. There really, really are.” Her statement underscores her determination to maintain artistic integrity and her unwillingness to conform to industry pressures.
