“Apple” by Charli xcx is exactly a brand new release at the time of writing this review, although for many of you, it will be fresh ear juice. Despite it being released in June 2024, I felt the need to get stuck into it because it has been on repeat on my playlist for several days now!
Feel-Good Groove
Found on the “Brat” album by Charli xcx, “Apple’ lands with vigour! It has a feel-good groove and it will not take long until you are rocking back and forth matching the infectious cadence of the tracks undercurrent. It starts with a bang, heading straight into a beat, alongside infectious bass tones and gliding synths. The track gets more profound as it progresses with a chorus which leaves me clinging to the speakers!
Meaning Of “Apple” by Charli xcx
“Apple” is a track that delves profoundly into Charli xcx’s relationship with her parents and family. She speaks candidly about being similar to her parents, using the apple as a metaphor for similarity. However, she argues that she had been observing them for too long, and there is a sense of frustration and a desire to break away. Charli also uses the “apple” as a way of explaining that sometimes change happens, and that there is something rotten which has been passed down, hence why she is “leaving for the airport”.
Overall, “Apple” by Charli xcx is a really strong delivery. Not only does it have a vibe which makes you want to hit the dancefloor, but it also has a meaningful message which gets deeper the more you delve into it!
