“Sometimes the words don't come immediately — after all, asking someone to be that vulnerable isn't easy — and it can take all night before you feel ready. But when that moment happens, let's hope that it can sound and feel as sweet as this indie-pop ode to young love.” - CBC Music on “All Night”
“... casts back to timeless memories of fumbling early romance—first kisses, messy breakups, and short-lived flirtations are all soundtracked by weightless indie pop and R&B stylings” – Under The Radar
“It’s a striking debut, an unguarded, ultra-personal tapestry—stories of heartbreak and struggle, sung in her soothing, signature voice” – SPIN
“‘Things’ is an unadulterated look at youthful insecurities and unrequited affection. Over a somber but punchy backdrop, she delivers an evocative performance that is ripe with honesty” – EARMILK
"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’.
