- The artist is shifting focus after the 'Brat' album success.

Finn Keane, a songwriter who has collaborated extensively with pop artist Charli XCX, is undertaking a notable career change. Keane was instrumental in producing Charli XCX's recent successes, including the Grammy-winning track "Von Dutch." He also contributed significantly to her "Brat" album, which fueled a "Brat summer" cultural movement throughout 2024.
As of February 2026, Charli XCX herself declared "Brat summer" concluded in September 2024, indicating a shift in her artistic focus. It appears Keane is following suit, finding the "Wuthering Heights" soundtrack a perfect next project. This pivot represents a distinct departure following the intense electro and dance-inspired era of the "Brat" album.
