Charlie J steps up a gear in 2022 releasing a brand new EP ‘A Moment’s Notice‘ which is out Thursday 31st March via all major streaming/download platforms.
‘A Moment’s Notice‘ is a transatlantic collaboration EP between South Wales based Charlie J who provides the smoothest flows that would not be out of place in the golden era of hip hop, and Ohio’s KwanLi who’s production would be the envy of most modern day beat makers.
The EP sees glove fitting guest appearances from Newport rapper Ogun, MEZCAL and Katy Mumford. With the mixing and mastering expertly provided by fellow Bard Picasso artist and sound engineer Brighty. Inspired by artists such as J Dilla, early-era Kanye West and Common, the result is a love letter to 00s Hip-Hop with some neo-soul underpinned by themes about love, romance and freedom.
The 6 track EP features the single ‘Swiftly‘, released earlier in 2022, a real slow jam that’s a love letter to a special someone. ‘Real‘ featuring rising Welsh talent Ogun highlights how very little real love in the areas they’ve grown up have received, often put down and mocked, but ends up being the driving force that inspires them. ‘Free (interlude)‘ is an equivalent of a voice memo, written on his last shift before becoming a full-time artist, which is complimented by ‘Carried Away‘ which sees Charlie express the emotion of finally being creatively free to do what he loves.
Quoted directly from the EP “I’m from the city where they never used to show love, now every single show they want to show up” showing his rising presence and his coming-of-age EP.
Charlie J is an artist, producer and songwriter. Growing up in a unique family, as a triplet with two mothers and living in several places around the world, these unique experiences helped shape Charlie not only as an artist, but as an individual. Taking the chilled, pleasant vibes of his birthplace, Australia; via his teenage years in Morecambe, Lancashire, Charlie offers a unique insight into the events and lives of the people he met growing up.
It’s now in Porthcawl, South Wales where Charlie J really started cutting his teeth in the music world. He has gone on to receive radio play from BBC Introducing Wales, BBC Introducing West Yorkshire, Radio Cardiff and Bridge FM. He also appeared on BBC Sesh talking about his upbringing, which is just shy of 1 Million views! – And he’s only 21 years old!
‘A Moment’s Notice‘ is out Thursday 31st March on Bard Picasso Records, out on all major streaming/download platforms.
