Remember those glory years when Stevie Nicks continued as a solo artist? Yes, I miss them too. Not anymore though, Charlotte Hall comes pretty close to channeling Stevie, while adding her own magic to the mix. Imposter syndrome might not allow Charlotte to compare herself to a legend, but we can Squeeze that confession out of her. Nailed it.
Yes, that’s her single. With a funky bass line getting us underway, Charlotte gives us all parts of disco, funk and early pop. The years when it was good because there was so much room for experimentation. Her unadulterated vocals allow a real honesty to the lyrics, floating by as the breezy song keeps us hooked to it. The subtle bass beat is just enough, not taking away from the rhythm section and most importantly, not from Charlotte’s voice.
The synths build for the chorus section, an interesting and fun number that has that stickiness factored into the DNA. Even though the song is every bit pop, I like how Charlotte Hall hasn’t layered away the strumming of the guitar or the natural twang of the bass that helps the live instruments have some agency. The track is can contend on the best of her tracks list, Braid, I Feel Alive and Stratosphere being some that I really liked.
However, Squeeze is the one that should be on your weekend playlist. Listen to the track here:

Self professed metalhead, moderately well read. If the music has soul, it's whole to me. The fact that my bio could have ended on a rhyme and doesn't should tell you a lot about my personality.
