If you weren’t having a BRAT summer back in 2024, were you even there? British singer Charli XCX’s album took the world by storm thanks to its earworm songs and undone aesthetic, which smashed through the stuffiness of the music industry at the time.<\/p>\n

A bastion of anti-design, BRAT marketing<\/a> took over the internet, redefining design in the music world, so naturally, when the singer announced her new single Rock Music, ears were pricked, and eyes were peeled. If the name alone wasn’t enough of a giveaway, it’s safe to say that Charli’s electropop era is dead and buried.<\/p>\n

The Rock Music cover is about as antithetical to BRAT as you could imagine. A plain white background supports a smart serif font bearing the song’s title, alongside smaller typography that reads “Created by Charli, Alex and Finn”. While it still captures the stripped-back energy of BRAT’s anti-design, it sits at the other end of the minimalism spectrum with an almost academic cleanliness to the design compared to Charli’s last album.<\/p>\n
