Listen to Things on Spotify. Charlie Houston · Song · 2021.

Stream the latest from Charlie Houston — "Things" out now

March 13, 2021 by Toby Boston in Bedroom Pop, Electro Pop, Electronic, Indie, Pop, R&B, Downtempo

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

New artist on the block Charlie Houston follows the success of “Calls”—the artist’s recent debut single—with an upbeat new track titled “Things”. Reflecting on her youthful insecurities and unrequited affection with raw vulnerability, Charlie delivers a smooth downtempo indie hit that’s undeniably stylish.

"The song is sort of about becoming so infatuated with someone that you begin to lose sight of who you are, also comparing yourself to the kind of person you think they want, and trying to become that" says Houston.

The new song boasts delicate vocal lines and gentle guitar licks with a tight, calming flow from beginning and to end. And while the song grabs us from the start and holds us over until the very end. It’s safe to say we’ll be looking forward to what Charlie does next soon, but in the meantime, we’ll just keep “Things” on repeat.
