I was sure I was going to vote for Girl, So Confusing, even as BRAT was personally a tale of two albums this is easily top-5 all-time Charli individual tracks... but then I heard Mabe and God dang if Tap can't hit it out of the park with a beautiful rec like this. Would've made a strong Bracket final. Probs still going for my preferred Menage-a-Trois but it's difficult, might wait till the eleventh hour.

Yeah when I saw this matchup I was figuring the charli/lorde meetup would come out on top, and that'd be fair, but I'm glad Fratti is resonating! I feel like the stuff she's doing on this album is the best I've heard from her, like the pop format is getting her to push the weird cello stuff further than if this had all been more freeform. Love it!!

Girl so confusing is great and I'll be honest going into this round I thought it'd be an easy win, but I'm thinking this may be a surprise upset. Solid nomination Tap

My thoughts exactly. Very tough matchup. I went with Enfrente here but Girl, So Confusing woulda got my vote over many other songs this round.

That Mabbe Fratti album has been in my queue half the year. Never got round to it. Based on her Titanic work and this song, I'll like it. Girl so confusing is not my personal highlight of Brat summer, but I understand why it is for many people. Insanely cool concept, great lyrics, solid tune all around. Perhaps the toughest duel of this round, two excellent tracks.

I think she's fantastic, and really hitting her stride. She's the Guatemalan cellist we never knew we needed.

I've been meaning to give Sentir Que No Sabes a re-listen. It isn't on my '24 chart atm. I remember it being a punchier sound than her usual (proof being the selected track), but I didn't quite give it the attention it deserved.

Being said, I'm not sure how to go on this one. I love supporting Fratti, but Girl is a knockout.

Don't like either, but since the premise of Girl So Confusing is amazing and them both being sweethearts, my vote goes to that.

haven't listened to any Mabe Fratti since 2019's Pies sobre la tierra, which I quite liked, but this is miles ahead of anything on that album. There's something in that metallic staccato percussion that tickles a very specific part of my brain, it almost sounds like percussion by way of a prepared string instrument (I don't think it actually is mind, but it does evoke that for me). And then the shift to a double-time almost like quasi-drum n bass pattern in the coda, just really lovely stuff. Girl so confusing is great and I'll be honest going into this round I thought it'd be an easy win, but I'm thinking this may be a surprise upset. Solid nomination Tap
