Remi Charles’ latest single “Succession”, features velvety sounds to set an intimate yet vibrant ambience, from haunting chimes and Remi’s soothing, light falsetto creating an ambience both haunting and intense – more than simply playing, this song encompasses, caresses and then demands your full focus.
“We’re alone now” delivered with an intimate yet commanding voice sets the scene for what can only be described as a transcendental experience. “Succession” is a celestial journey which moves between contemplative moods to dancelike exultation as each chorus builds upon itself to call us to rise. Remi has expertly created a song which celebrates finding oneself– a beacon of light among darkness.
“Succession” stands out in the dark soul genre as a testament to Charles’ musical prowess. His performance is dynamic yet empowering, drawing influence from James Blake and Michael Jackson among others. The track’s percussive textures and signature sound make it irresistibly engaging. Remi intended this song as an embodiment of all your desires being just around the corner – something it achieves effortlessly.
“Sugar”, its B-side track counterpart, stands out like an unmistakable sunray in this track’s minimalist neo-soul masterpiece reminiscent of Vulfpeck and Lake Street Dive, with subtle nods to Prince and capturing longing for something unattainable without ever reaching it – something which resonates strongly with listeners. Charles beautifully articulates it by saying the song captures both desire and uncertainty with lyrics about longing without knowing when or if attainment will ever arrive – something which truly resonates within this song.
His musical journey goes far beyond these tracks. While forging his identity as producer and songwriter, Remi draws upon influences such as world music and cinema to form his future work, its final form will likely feature various influences designed to capture humanity through sound.
Remi Charles invites listeners into her world with “Succession” and “Sugar,” captivating audiences through musical experiences they can feel rather than hear. These tracks capture both empowerment and desire – two feelings Remi captures perfectly through her powerful music. We eagerly anticipate an even brighter musical future from this exceptionally talented musician.
