Geschmacksfragen: Charlotte OC

Am gestrigen Freitag, dem 11. Juli, ist endlich die Neue EP „Seriously Love, Go Home“ von der aus Blackburn stammenden Charlotte O´Connor alias Charlotte OC erschienen. Die EP ist sowas wie ein Neuanfang ihrer musikalischen Karriere. Bereits mit 18 Jahren wurde sie von einem Major-Label unter Vertrag genommen, und als sie sich weigerte, ihre Integrität zu opfern, wurde sie fallen gelassen. Dazu kamen der Tod ihres Vaters und eine toxische Beziehung, so dass es nach ihrem gefeierten Debüt-Album Here Comes Trouble aus dem Jahr 2021 erstmal einen Reset gab. Jetzt ist sie aber zurück, macht fantastische Musik und wir durften ihr unsere Geschmacksfragen stellen.

Your current favourite Song?

Adrianne Lenker – No Machine
When moving out of my family home and moving into the new one with my mum…their music has soundtracked it all. I think this one in particular makes me want to cry for about 6 hours. I just think about us all as a family packing up and saying goodbye to place we had memories with my dad. Yeah I love Adrianne Lenker a lot.

Your current favourite record?

Sam Fender- People Watching.
I’ve rinsed it to death. Every track is effortlessly brilliant and his lyrics are something else. TV Dinner and Crumbling Empire especially.

Your favourite place?

I always used to say Berlin and I still love it, but it I recently went to Amsterdam and I had the rare moment when a city just grabs you and you fall in love. I think it’s the most romantic city and the people are very sound.

Your favourite drink?

Probably a negroni or red wine. And obviously a well-made brew (not milky).

Your favourite food?

Rare beef pho. When I lived in London, I literally had no money. I would wait until 6pm until this Vietnamese restaurant in Angel called Nem Nem would open and inhale their 9 quid rare beef pho. I think it will forever be one of my favourite dishes of all time and helped me when times were tough. However my mum’s African food is genuinely something I think about every day. It’s lick-your-plate clean level of good.

What you’d like to read about yourself but hasn’t been written about you yet?
