By ‘As the Summer’ is Charlotte’s debut album of 8 tracks. With soulful vocals, insightful lyrics, and rich harmonies throughout, Charlotte shares some of her reflections on life’s beauty and complexity. The album brings you on a journey from upbeat bangers like Blue Light and Highlight Reel to lush, soothing tracks like Shimmer and Breathe. The album experience brings you from agitated tension to peace and clarity, with Such Walls Fail bringing a poignant instrumental ending to the record.
Producing and arranging the tracks from her dining room studio in Birmingham, Charlotte has brought together songs that she has written over the past 4 years into a cohesive collection of soulful songs. She has worked remotely with musicians all over the world to record instrumental parts and compile them for each track. The album title, As The Summer, is a line taken from Lemon Sky that encapsulates the atmosphere of the whole album. It is also a nod to her previous artist name, As the Summer, which comes from her Chinese name 夏丽 (xià lì) which means ‘summer beauty’. Beautiful as the summer. As the summer.
