Making a huge imprint on the 2010's Indie scene with his previous project King Charles, songwriter Charles Costa is pulling back the vail and releasing his most personal, raw record to date...his debut self-titled solo project which is due in January 2025.
The first single from this new album 'Nothing At The Most' is a beautifully moody and emotive slow-burner. It showcases the resonant depths of Charles's vocals and creates a really gloomy yet iniviting, down beat atmosphere that actually rings of some of Joe Talbot's most intimate vocal moments. However, there is always the hint of home in his subtle melodic flows and as the song grows the cinematic soundscape of drum hits and strings draws this hint of hope out, amplifying it into a grand finale.
The second single 'Thief' (Out December 4th) leans more into the classic Alt-Pop tones that we've come to associate with Charles' songwriting. Isolated vocal layers intertwine in the intro, drawing you close in before a soft electro rhythm ignites a groove. Yet again, there is an overarching feeling of sentimental hope running through the track as the bubbling synth sounds cast a pleasant glow onto the romantic sentiments. There's a touch of artistic experimentation but at its core it is a heartwarmingly tender Pop tune.
These tracks showcase a more delicate approach to songwriting and showcase Charles' vocals fantastically. This solo project sounds hugely exciting from what we've heard so far.
