Hmm... CHARLS

Spotify just slipped CHARLS onto their #NowWatching playlist with “Paranoid Heart,” and yeah, my radar pinged instantly. The London soul-pop singer has been quietly building serious momentum ahead of her debut album, *Heartbreak Looks Good On Me*. Co-written with Sarah Close and tracked in a North London carpet shop basement, this record turns raw betrayal and bottled-up rage into an undeniable powerhouse vocal. Lewis Capaldi and Elton John already threw her co-signs, but this new placement says the rest of the world is finally waking up. Don’t sleep on this rollout.
