Charlotte Day Wilson releases Charlotte Day Wilson (Live at Maida Vale), a special three-track EP featuring live reworkings “Cyan Blue,” “Sleeper,” and “I Don’t Love You”. Originally recorded for Benji B’s BBC Radio 1 show in London’s iconic Maida Vale, these stripped-back solo performances using a Steinway piano breathe new life into the tracks taken from her critically acclaimed sophomore album Cyan Blue, highlighting Wilson’s captivating soulful vocals.

In May, the Toronto-born-and-raised singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist released her highly-anticipated sophomore album, Cyan Blue via Stone Woman Music / XL Recordings. Working alongside producers Leon Thomas (SZA, Ariana Grande, Post Malone), and Jack Rochon (Beyoncé, H.E.R, Daniel Caesar) on Cyan Blue, Day Wilson crafts a smoothly woven cyan tapestry of her eternal influences - thumping gospel piano, warm soul basslines, atmospheric electronics, and penetrating R&B melodies - while also showcasing the next evolution of her time-bending songwriting. Released to wide acclaim, Cyan Blue was hailed by CLASH as “Wilson’s best work to date,” while Billboard declared, “Wilson occupies a lane distinct from most burgeoning R&B stars.”
Alongside the release of the EP, Charlotte Day Wilson announces new UK and Europe live tour dates for Autumn 2024. Kicking off on 29 October in Manchester, the Cyan Blue tour will see her travel to Bristol, London, South Wales, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, and Reykjavik. These tour dates add to the previously announced shows in Canada, Japan, and Mexico. Full tour dates are below. For further information or to buy tickets, head to charlottedaywilson.com/Tour
Wilson’s influence in music has made a major mainstream impact. She first broke out in 2016 with her critically acclaimed EP, CDW, followed by 2018’s Stone Woman, and made her debut studio album an official coming out moment in 2021 with the critically acclaimed, self-released Alpha. Over the past decade, she’s been sampled by Drake, John Mayer, and James Blake. Additionally, she’s collaborated with artists like Kaytranada, BADBADNOTGOOD, Snoh Aalegra and SG Lewis, demonstrating that there’s no sound Wilson can’t adapt to and sprinkle her cyan-coloured magic over.

RECENT PRAISE ON CHARLOTTE DAY WILSON
“Few can hit the notes Charlotte Day Wilson hits, and her commitment to emotional truth remains thoroughly undimmed. Her audio building is subtle but distinctive, the spartan template resulting in something so pure, and so evocative” – Clash Magazine
“a deeply personal and introspective collection of songs that seek to discover beauty in heartbreak and find solace in recognizing the limitations of love.” The Toronto Star
“Gorgeous and devastating… Sublime and understated” – Wonderland
“Charlotte Day Wilson’s name has become a sign that you’re in for great things” – The Line Of Best FIt
“As always, Day Wilson's arresting alto is the focus but a warbled vocal sample that repeats in the background adds a haunting, early James Blake feel to the track. If the rest of Cyan Blue is equally moving, fans are in for a treat.” CBC Music
“Wilson directly channels soul music of decades past but also inhabits that same minimalist expanse occupied by so many of her contemporaries.” - NPR
“The Toronto singer-songwriter and producer’s vast voice is like a canyon that the sun can’t access; the percolating soul and quiet storm that surround it flicker like candlelight….Her voice—and what a voice, deep and passionate, cast in the mold of Anita Baker—feels less crepuscular, less intimate, and more capable of levitating cars and uprooting whole forests.”- Pitchfork
“Blending elements of jazz, soul, folk, and R&B, Wilson writes deeply personal lyrics and delivers them with the expertise of a seasoned vocalist.” - Complex
“she's got the type of slow-burning, smoldering jazz and R&B-influenced sound that already feels classic.”- NYLON
“Charlotte expertly pulls inspirations from jazz, R&B and soul and what results is an atmosphere that is solely her own.” - Hypebeast
