Sometimes, I am surprised at the stuff I have not posted yet. This is not one of them.
You see, Charlotte Lawrence has skated under my radar, and it's been only recently that I discovered her. Which is weird, because her dark pop sounds hits my wheelhouse hard. This 2019 single - from her 2021 EP Charlotte (release schedules are so weird these days) - is a phenomenal example of this. It's fun, and yet also dark.
Lawrence is also an actress - she has a recurring role on the AppleTV series Bad Monkey, not coincidentally developed by her father, Bill Lawrence (her mother is actress Christa Miller, who you either know from Cougar Town or The Drew Carey Show, depending on your age, and Charlotte looks an awful lot like her mom). There. I said it. Now let's talk about the music.
Actually, I don't have a lot more to say about the music except that it was written by a long list of people, including the artist and Charlie Puth. Also, the video is pretty fun and playful, in spite of the dark lyrics.
She also released an entire acoustic version of Charlotte, including this song, and I can't lie - I like it. It's a darker song with the extra production missing, but it still hits.
