ABOUT CHARLOTTE CARPENTER
Charlotte is the perfect embodiment of independence; out there, doing it on her own. This isn't some 'strong woman’ cliché, this is a nominative determinism; place a piece of wood in her hand & she will use it to craft something of value to the world around her.
East Midlands singer-songwriter Charlotte made her name by releasing a series of heavily championed EPs. Her raw, soulful songwriting was widely heralded with comparisons to the likes of Cat Power, Bonnie Raitt & PJ Harvey, and coverage from tastemakers from The Line of Best Fit & CLASH, through to rock bible Classic Rock, with support from BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 2; and UK-wide tours alongside Marika Hackman, George Ezra, Liz Lawrence, to name just a few.
In 2021, Charlotte received funding for her debut album from Help Musicians UK which she wrote, recorded & produced with Matt de Burgh Daly (Grace Petrie, Maybeshewill, AA Williams) & released 'A Modern Rage' in 2023, winning acclaim from publications God Is In The TV, Nonchalant Mag, Guitar.com, DIVA Mag & BBC Introducing.
The album’s 1st single ‘Spinning Plates’ sets the tone for the record & recounts her experiences at the helm of the producer that sparked such an emblazoned cry of defiance & strength. Equally as powerful is the exhilarating chunky riff laden ‘Like A Hurricane’, a song about crippling effects of anxiety.
Amongst the more raw tracks, ‘Not Good Enough’ is a gentle and heart-breaking tale of how toxic people can lessen our own self-worth. Equally vulnerable but utterly beautiful is the self-described “dystopian love song” ‘You’re My Reason Why’, one of several songs influenced by Charlotte’s love of dystopian art.
