Lorde Explains How Charli xcx’s ‘Brat’ ‘Forced’ Her to Step Up Her Game on ‘Virgin’
Lorde explained how Charli xcx's 'Brat' inspired her new album 'Virgin' in a recent interview.
In an interview with BBC Radio 1 posted shortly after the New Zealand native finally announced her fourth studio album, Virgin, on Wednesday (April 30), Lorde explained how the British pop star’s critically acclaimed 2024 project — for which the two teamed up on a remix of “Girl, So Confusing” — lit a fire under her when it came to finishing up her own LP. 3 on the Billboard 200 — her highest position on the chart to date — the Essex-born artist kept the momentum going by dropping a companion remix album in October, featuring Lorde’s version of “Girl, So Confusing,” which the pair recently performed together during Charli’s Coachella set in April. The project was preceded by lead single “What Was That,” which dropped April 24 alongside a music video filmed in New York City, featuring footage from the Kiwi star’s pop-up in Washington Square Park two days prior.
