Charli xcx today releases ‘Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat’.
You can stream & purchase ‘Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat’ HERE.
The brand new version of Charli’s critically acclaimed album – released via Atlantic Records – features reimagined takes and innovative reworks of tracks from ‘BRAT’ and features the likes of Julian Casablancas, Bon Iver, The 1975, Shygirl, Ariana Grande, Caroline Polachek and more.
To celebrate the release of ‘Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat’, Charli unveiled an immersive sonic sculpture at Storm King Arts Center in New York State yesterday.
Eager fans descended on the acclaimed outdoor museum and sculpture park on Thursday afternoon to find a 30 ft x 30 ft physical reproduction of her new album featuring audio from the project too. Charli then held an intimate listening party with the lucky attendees, playing out new music while talking through select tracks from the release. The event was live streamed on the newly relaunched Twitch Music channel.
The artwork by Charli xcx will be on display at Storm King until Monday 14th October.
Charli released her iconic, critically acclaimed sixth studio album ‘BRAT’ in June leaving a lasting mark on the cultural zeitgeist in the process. Labeled ‘a masterpiece’ by The Guardian, the audacious campaign has seen Charli cause roadblocks around the world with her pop-up PARTYGIRL DJ sets, break the internet with viral videos and surprise collaborations with the likes of Billie Eilish, Lorde, Addison Rae, Robyn, Yung Lean, Julia Fox, Chloë Sevigny, and Rachel Sennott and introduce a new tone of green to the social lexicon.
The album was nominated for the Mercury Prize 2024 while ‘Guess featuring Billie Eilish’ debuted at Number 1 on the UK Official Singles Charts in August, making Charli the first British artist to land at the top of the singles charts this year.
Charli is currently on the road with longtime collaborator Troye Sivan for their acclaimed co-headline US arena tour ‘Charli xcx & Troye Sivan Present: Sweat’ which stops by Dallas this evening before arriving in Los Angeles next week. She will then embark on her biggest ever UK headline shows in sold out arenas in November and December before headlining Australia’s Laneway Festival in February 2025.
In February, Charli kickstarted the ‘BRAT’ campaign with a momentous Boiler Room in New York’s Brooklyn with A. G. Cook, George Daniel, Finn Keane and Doss. The show broke the record for the most ever RSVPs to a Boiler Room event, with over 40k people registering to attend. Featuring special guest appearances from the likes of Addison Rae and Julia Fox, the show quickly became one of the viral moments of the year. You can watch the full stream of ‘Boiler Room & Charli XCX Presents: PARTYGIRL’:
Alongside her new album, Charli has been working on multiple film & TV projects following the breakout success of her Barbie soundtrack contribution ‘Speed Drive’ last year. She is co-executive producing the score for the A24 film ‘Mother Mary’ with Jack Antonoff and also producing original music for Benito Skinner’s series ‘Overcompensating’ on Prime Video. In addition, Charli will star in the Daniel Goldhaber remake of 1978 cult horror film ‘Faces of Death’ and Greg Araki’s erotic thriller ‘I Want Your Sex’.
Avant-pop and electronic superstar Charli xcx has become an iconic figure in the arts, having helped expand the landscape of popular music over the last decade by seamlessly traversing the underground and mainstream with her artistic output. Over the course of a trailblazing career, the multi-hyphenate creative has earned critical acclaim for her innovative style and entrepreneurial spirit and seen her forward-thinking approach reshape pop culture in the process.
Her lasting impact was cemented last year when Charli was honoured with the Visionary Award at the annual Ivor Novellos in London, while she also received the Powerhouse Award at Billboard’s Women In Music ceremony in March and the ASCAP Global Impact Award in May.

Great news for fans of Netflix’s THE DIPLOMAT starring Keri Russell. The highly anticipated second season premieres October 31, 2024.
In addition to this, Netflix has renewed the critically-acclaimed political drama The Diplomat for a third season, ahead of its Season 2 premiere. The news was shared by Netflix Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria on stage at the Bloomberg Screentime Conference in Los Angeles.
-Production is currently underway, and will take place in London and New York City.

-The Diplomat is a Golden Globe, Emmy, SAG, PGA, WGA, and CCA-nominated series and has received numerous additional accolades since it premiered in 2023.
ABOUT THE DIPLOMAT
In the first season of THE DIPLOMAT, Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) is a seasoned foreign service officer more at home in a crisis zone than an upper-crust atmosphere. She’s planning to take her next post in Afghanistan when the White House comes calling with a change of orders, sending her to London as the US ambassador to the United Kingdom. It’s not the behind-the-scenes world she thrives in, but with war brewing on one continent and boiling over on another, her skills will still be called upon. Kate will have to defuse international crises, forge strategic alliances in London and adjust to her new place in the spotlight — all while trying to survive her marriage to fellow career diplomat and charismatic political star Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell). He’s negotiated the end of his share of wars, but sharing the spotlight with a wife who has long lurked in the shadows could be his most challenging mission yet. In this high-stakes political drama, the transcendence and torture of long-term relationships between countries and people takes center stage. Also starring David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, and Ato Essandoh, with executive producers Debora Cahn, Janice Williams, and Keri Russell. Allison Janney also joins the cast in Season 2 as Vice President Grace Penn.

Marc de Guerre and Material Pictures are pleased to announce that the new documentary, No Way to Die, will premiere on CBC’s The Passionate Eye, October 30, 2024, at 9 p.m. (9:30 NT) on CBC and CBC Gem.
No Way to Die is written, directed and produced by Marc de Guerre (Born Bad, Beauty and Ruin, Transforming Gender, Family Camera), and executive producer Janice Dawe (Wilfred Buck, Swan Song, Born Bad), with cinematography by Sasha Jordan Appler (Family Camera, VeraCity: Prison Moms), music by Rose Bolton (Born Bad, Anthropocene: The Human Epoch), and editing by Carole Larsen (She Walks with Apes, The Messenger) and Swapna Mella (Stuff British Stole, The Great Canadian Baking Show).
In 2016, Canada became one of a handful of countries in the world to offer Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) to terminally ill patients. Since 2021, the Canadian government has been planning to further extend MAiD to people whose sole underlying medical condition is a mental disorder. It became one of the most toxic and contentious debates in Canadian medical and parliamentary history, and highlighted a striking lack of compassion, empathy and understanding towards people who have been suffering from profound mental anguish for decades. NO WAY TO DIE follows two deeply mentally ill individuals, Jane Hunter and Savannah Meadows, both of whom had been planning to apply for MAiD, watching in sadness, anger and torment as a phalanx of opponents launch a ferocious (and often misleading) effort to halt the government’s plan to offer relief to people like them—people who are out of resiliency and out of options.
No Way to Die is produced by Material Pictures in association with CBC, and with the participation of the Canada Media Fund, Ontario Creates, and the Canadian Film or Video Production Tax Credit. For CBC, Sally Catto is General Manager, Entertainment, Factual, & Sports; Jennifer Dettman is Executive Director, Unscripted Content; Sandra Kleinfeld is Senior Director, Documentary; and Michelle McCree is Executive in Charge of Production, CBC Docs and The Passionate Eye.

Synopsis:
After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event this holiday season.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration. Wicked Part Two is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 26, 2025.
Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba’s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
The film also stars Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University’s regal headmistress Madame Morrible; Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers) as Fiyero, a roguish and carefree prince; Tony nominee Ethan Slater (Broadway’s Spongebob Squarepants, Fosse/Verdon) as Boq, an altruistic Munchkin student; Marissa Bode in her feature-film debut as Nessarose, Elphaba’s favored sister; and pop culture icon Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz.
The cast of characters includes Pfannee and ShenShen, two conniving compatriots of Glinda played by Emmy nominee Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) and Bronwyn James (Harlots); a new character created for the film, Miss Coddle, played by Tony nominee Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman) and four-time Emmy winner Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) as the voice of Dr. Dillamond.
Wicked is produced by Marc Platt (La La Land, The Little Mermaid), whose films, television shows and stage productions have earned a combined 46 Oscar® nominations, 58 Emmy nominations and 36 Tony nominations, and by multiple Tony winner David Stone (Kimberly Akimbo, Next to Normal), with whom Platt produced the blockbuster Wicked stage musical. The executive producers are David Nicksay, Stephen Schwartz and Jared LeBoff.
Based on the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked is adapted for the screen by the stage production’s book writer Winnie Holzman and by legendary Grammy and Oscar® winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. The Broadway stage musical is produced by Universal Stage Productions, Marc Platt, the Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.
