Review: Charlie Harris Delivers Blues-Infused Anthem with ‘Charlie No Face

By recordniche / September 23, 2024

In his latest single, “Charlie No Face,” Charlie Harris masterfully blends bluesy riffs with a melodic rock energy that evokes a sense of nostalgia while sounding fresh for today’s music scene. The song opens with a gritty, chugging guitar that wouldn’t feel out of place in Pulp Fiction, before sliding into the melodic territory reminiscent of REM, and is underscored by an infectious bassline. Harris’s vocals, which carry a South African flavor akin to Johnny Clegg, give the track a unique edge, pairing perfectly with the rhythmic guitar. It’s a song that transports you, ideal for a drive with the top down, with a refreshing sense of rock revival in an age dominated by pop and hip-hop.
