Charlie Collins Drops Another Gem Ahead of Album Release & Tour

I was already pretty hyped for the release of Charlie Collins’ sophomore album, but hearing the fourth single from that release has made me want to listen even more. “Backseat Valentine” is an absolute banger, the sort of track that makes you want to turn the music up, dance with abandon, and sing into a hairbrush. The song is a bit of a left-turn for Charlie, but I like it!

“I’ve never written a song like that ever,” she said. “It’s embracing, the real fucking wild side of me, I love to go crazy and do spontaneous things sometimes.”
Fresh from supporting Gang of Youths in the UK and Ireland, Charlie is ready to make music for fans here at home. Her album Undone drops on April 29, the day before Charlie’s East Coast album launch tour begins.

Charlie Collins Releases New Banger for the Broken Hearted, “Just My Luck”

Failed relationships are no fun, but sometimes the songs that come out of them are. That’s the case with “Just My Luck,” the upbeat new single from Charlie Collins. If you’ve ever invested your heart in the wrong person, you’ll want to crank this one up.

“It’s about the feeling of always throwing yourself in the deep end, but the other person isn’t there to catch you when you fall,” Charlie explained. Thankfully it’s not something she’s had to worry about lately, as she began writing the track in her living room with partner Mitch Sexty. The track went to the next level when Charlie began collaborating with Gabriel Strum, aka Japanese Wallpaper, at Sydney’s Forbes Street Studios.

“Just My Luck” is the latest track lifted from Charlie’s forthcoming sophomore album. There’s no word on a release date, but this song should tide you over until it drops.

Give Monday the Finger With Charlie Collins’ Latest Single

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.

Charlie Collins Releases Stunning Single Ahead of Headline Tour

Fresh from her appearances at the St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival shows, Charlie Collins is gearing up for her first headline tour next month. The Sydney-based, Tamworth-bred artist will have plenty of new material up her sleeve for the shows. She’s just released an incredible new single “Beautifully Blind,” the first from her forthcoming debt album Snowpine.

“Beautifully Blind” is a deeply personal track about toxic relationships.

“The song was written with friends who came to the session with this idea of two people tearing each other apart, not knowing that pain was already in my orbit,” Charlie admitted. “Our words connected on this tune that shows the contradictory pathetic and poetic faces we use to mask our hurt.”

Snowpine drops on May 31. It will be available digitally, but if you’re a real fan I suggest preordering one of the limited edition coloured vinyl copies. Charlie will support Death Cab for Cutie before embarking on her own headline tour. Here are all the dates you need!

9 March 2019 – Canberra Theatre Centre, Canberra (with Death Cab for Cutie)
22 March 2019 – The Lansdowne, Sydney
29 March 2019 – Worker’s Club, Melbourne
30 March 2019 – Black Bear Lodge, Brisbane

Fast-forward just a few short months and she’s supporting Gang of Youths and preparing to play the St Jerome’s Laneway Festival dates and her own headlining shows.
