Is Brat Summer really over? (with Kikelomo & Juba)

We're back for our first episode after the summer break. Or shall we say... Brat Summer break? With her sixth studio album, BRAT, released this last June, Charli XCX sparked what was arguably the biggest pop culture trend of the social media age so far. From underground producers serving up remixes to brands (and presidential candidates) jumping on the meme bandwagon, the British pop star with rave culture roots was just about everywhere all summer. In early September, Charli herself ended Brat Summer with a post on X. But is it really over? What will remain of it? How does the hype compare to other pop culture phenomena in recent times? And what's next in this hyper-paced era of mega trends and micro genres? Electronic Beats host Kikelomo and Juba sit down to serve up their very own takes on everyone's subject matter of the summer. The Week is a production by Telekom Electronic Beats and ACB Stories.Host: Kikelomo & JubaProducer: Carlos SteurerEdit and sound design: Marc ÜbelLead Producer: Isabel Woop Hosted on Acast.
