Of course, I am so proud of this body of work and I am so happy you can now listen to it in full! This is my most personal album yet. I discuss love, relationships and partying - as usual - but this is the first time I’ve really opened up about my mental health, my insecurities and my need to try and find connections with people whilst at the same time continuing to feel so isolated. Through my friends and my collaborators I’ve found a way to connect and communicate.

like i think that's cool. i'd have been absolutely delighted for an album full of vroom vroom's,etc. but i like that she's evolving her sound and wading in different waters, expanding her form of expression, etc.
i also like that she ends the newsletter with: "The best way to listen to this album is LOUD. Ideally driving in a car at night or at a house party (but really - make sure it’s LOUD)!!!" - even though the album sounds way way way better on headphones than from the car or laptop
anyway i luv her i'll calm down

vroom vroom was way more representative of her “expanding her form of expression” though.
nothing on this is any more progressive or different than anything she released previously, this album actually is her trying to finesse that into something with more broad appeal

seems to be there's some troye hate out there is it justified?

I know that you went to music school or whatever and you think that gives it credibility to speak to these things but it seems hugely entitled of you to say "vroom vroom was way more representative of "expanding her form of expression." Like, on what basis? How would you know?
If anything the Vroom Vroom EP and subsequent mixtapes felt like a vehicle for PC Music, and this record (which admittedly I don't like us much as the EP/mixtapes) seems like a purer expression of "just Charli" despite the production/collaborators
Maybe we're both wrong, though! I just wouldn't talk about "expanding her form of expression" as this quality that can easily be quantified or understood. Seems like a very heterosexual way of listening to music, which again is maybe what's been annoying me about some of the straight opinions in this thread.
