If there was ever the perfect song for a Monday, Charlie Collins might have just released it. Her latest single “Fuck It” drives forward with fuzzy, reverb-drench guitars, heavy drums, and biting lyrics. Charlie wrote the deeply personal song in the wake of a break-up when people in her orbit seemed more interested in sharing their views than supporting her.
“At the time, when I was going through this separation, I needed a friend more than a critic,” she says. “This song is an acknowledgment of blame but also recognizing that you don’t need that judgement.”
No matter what you’re going through right now, listening to “Fuck It” is such a cathartic experience. Charlie launches her single on May 4 at her sold-out launch show at Lazybones Lounge in Sydney. She’ll also play Splendour in the Grass this November.
