It has been some considerable time since we last explored the smoky-voiced alt-pop enchantress Charlotte OC in this blog. In her early years, she made a powerful impression, drawing us in with a haunting musical presence that resonated with intoxicating dark pop allure. While she has undeniably ventured into varied musical territories since then. The core of her artistry remains anchored in those signature brooding sensibilities and a profound sense of melancholy. As we look further ahead in 2025, Charlotte is poised for an artistic renaissance. Following her evocative March release “God, We Tried,” she unveils another intriguing facet of her reimagined sound with “Romeo“. A standout track from her newly announced EP, “Seriously Love, Go Home.”
I’ve previously noted Charlotte’s vocal resemblance to Stevie Nicks, but on “Romeo,” this connection is strikingly evident. From the very first notes, the remarkable similarity between these two artists commands attention. The track’s music soundscape is expertly crafted with a folk-pop allure that echoes the timeless sounds of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. This synergy is nothing short of perfect, further elevated by the exceptional production from Dimitri Tikovoi, whose credentials include work with Placebo, Purple Disco Machine, Charli XCX, and Nicola Roberts.
While “God, We Tried” delved into the depths of grief and fractured love. “Romeo” above all emerges as its warm, redemptive counterpart. A swooning, soul-infused anthem about serendipitously meeting someone at precisely the right moment.
This renaissance could not be more timely for Charlotte OC. Her EP “Seriously Love, Go Home” delivers a captivating new sound, offering an unflinching glimpse into a woman navigating chaos and reclaiming her strength. What Charlotte brings to the table is nothing less than invigorating and brilliantly original. Throughout the EP, she invites you into her journey, revealing new dimensions of herself and the world around us.
“‘Seriously Love, Go Home‘ is the sound of me finally facing myself. It’s the aftermath of grief, self-sabotage, love gone wrong, and crawling back to the one place I never thought I’d return to. It’s hope and helplessness. It’s exactly what I needed to make to get myself through that time” – Charlotte OC
