In this video, I take an analytical deep dive into two of the most daring and experimental albums of 2024 - BRAT and C,XOXO. While one was far more well-received than the other, I think both are very beautiful and heartfelt in their own ways, and become especially interesting when looked at together.

This is the beginning of a new series called "Album Battles", where I take two albums that are often compared to each other and break them down analytically to tell you how truly similar or different they are. I hope you like it, and let me know what else you might want to see!
