Blurring the line between satire and sincerity, Kerry Charles himself isn’t always sure where the persona ends and the real self begins. The New Jersey-based songwriter and producer combines his delicate, almost confessional falsetto with a richly textured synth atmosphere and the distinctive sound of Max Cadworth’s saxophone. His music evokes nostalgia for the era of polyester and purple rain, imbued with a longing for the past. Charles’s meticulously crafted arrangements strike a balance between laid-back synth-pop, gentle dad-rock, and sensual R&B.
The single “Slow Bleeding” is a tender meditation on growing old hand in hand with the one you love, in an imaginary world full of illusions and memories. Soft guitar solos, enveloping melodies, and a velvety voice create an atmosphere that is sure to resonate deeply with listeners
