English dance-pop star Charli XCX and her new album reflects the biblical Eve.
Dance-pop star Charli XCX started what has become known as “brat summer” and her latest album reflects on the Garden of Eden famous female occupant.Call it brat summer or a “femininomenon.” Girls are having their moment.
Deeper, being a brat means embracing your imperfections and being unapologetic for who you are and what you desire. You live your life free of shame. You can hold multiplicity in what you desire. You can be soft and selfish, enjoy life for yourself while also thinking deeply about meaning, feminism and motherhood. Brat culture very intentionally steps away from the male gaze, helping you reclaim parts of yourself only for yourself.
Historically, Eve has been blamed for any feminine shortcomings. We’re told that because of Eve’s sin, we can never fully trust ourselves because women are sinful and seductive, and we should be fundamentally ashamed. For many women, their shame stems from the ways biblical passages have been misinterpreted, often by male authorities, to keep women in low places.“It’s so confusing sometimes to be a girl,” Charli XCX sings in one of her new songs.
Charli XCX has described a brat as “that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes. Who feels herself but maybe also has a breakdown. But kind of, like, parties through it, is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile. Like, does dumb things.”
