CHARLIE

A hyper-polished masterclass in 2020s pop engineering. Shimmering synths, elastic basslines, and breathy falsetto capture the anxiety of modern heartbreak.

October 7, 2022 · Atlantic

A high-definition blend of playful technical flexes and the twitchy anxiety of modern dating.

Moments Worth Listening For

The percussive flick of a literal light switch becoming the rhythmic spine of a pop anthem.

The dizzying left-to-right panning of the vocals in the Jungkook collaboration that mimics a wandering mind.

The sudden, dry vocal isolation on 'That's Hilarious' that highlights the biting sarcasm of the lyrics.
