CHARLIE HOUSTON - BAD POSTURE EP
LABEL : ARTS & CRAFTS // RELEASE : OCTOBER 7, 2022


"Cranberry" is the new indie pop single from Charlie Houston about the anxieties of causing unnecessary stress on those around you. "This song was inspired by me burning a rubber spoon onto a pan onto a pan and then thinking the fumes from the burnt spoon might kill me," Charlie reflects. "I freaked out and ran into my room but knew I was overreacting so didn't want to talk to anyone about it. I'm terrified of being a burden on the people around me." The delicate arrangement of soft acoustic strumming, twinkling piano, and upbeat percussion perfectly wrap the vulnerable hook ‘I don't wanna be a burden, baby’.

"All Night", the new minimalist indie pop single from singer-songwriter Charlie Houston, tells the heartfelt story of letting down your guard and showing those you love your complete vulnerability: ‘Do you recall feeling afraid or resistance? / These things they hold us back,’ sings Houston on this groovy yet emotional track. "This song is meant to capture the anxiety and excitement that comes with saying 'I love you' for the first time," she explains. "Is it too soon? How do you know you love them? Will they say it back? Or, maybe even say it at the same time?"

The single follows Houston's 2022 sophomore EP, Bad Posture, and the collaborative single "Wide Awake" with ODESZA from their Grammy-nominated album The Last Goodbye. Houston joined ODESZA on their massive North American studio tour, and supported JUNO Award-winning Artist of the Year Charlotte Cardin on tour across Canada.
