Charlotte Emma Aitchison, better known by her stage name Charli XCX, is a British singer and songwriter. She first started releasing music in 2008 but it wasn't until 2012 when she released her first EP. She gained international prominence after being featured on hit singles by Icona Pop and Iggy Azalea. In 2014, she released her second album which contained her first top 10 hit as a solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was named the best pop album of 2014 by Rolling Stone and Billboard.

Asylum is a US label that was formed in 1971 by David Geffen and Eliot Roberts. Initially specializing in mainstream rock and singer/songwriters, the label signed notable artists such as Judee Sill, David Blue, Jackson Browne, and Jo Jo Gunne. In 1974, Asylum scored a major coup by signing Bob Dylan during his brief estrangement from Columbia Records. Throughout the 1970s, the label released albums by influential artists like Tom Waits, Joni Mitchell, Warren Zevon, as well as former members of Eagles, Byrds, and Buffalo Springfield.

From 1971 to 1973, Asylum was distributed by Atlantic Records. However, in August 1973, Warner Communications combined Elektra and Asylum Records to form Elektra/Asylum Records. Geffen left the label in 1980 to establish Geffen Records. Although the Asylum name was retired from new releases in 1989, it made occasional appearances for country releases in 1992.

In 2004, after Warner Music's acquisition by private investors led by Edgar Bronfman Jr., Asylum was reactivated as a southern-oriented hip-hop label. It also became the distributor for Rap-A-Lot Records and Swisha House Records. Despite being considered an independent label within Warner Music structure today; its numbering system and UPC prefix align with Elektra Records.

Mercury Prize Shortlist 2024

There’s no denying, Charli really goes hard on this one. Drawing from more leftfield club influences, the vocals flip between initimate tones and her signature autotune, brash lyricism placed on beds of big room techno, drum machines and squelchy acid. Thematically, Brat is highly entertaining with plenty of meta-commentary and good meme fodder, whilst also capturing Charli’s most reflective lyrics yet (I think about it all the time case in point). With regular shifts in energy, the album’s softer moments take you by surprise but don’t fall flat. All in all, Brat is an experience and an addictive one no doubt (bumpin' that). -&nbsp;Georgia, Rough Trade Office&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.roughtrade.com/gb/uk-albums-of-the-year-so-far-2024/">Albums of the Year So Far 2024</a>
