‘Scissors’ being Charles Moret’s most streaming single is not just down to luck; built over a poignant piano part and stunning vocals, the single mirrors the American musician’s classic musical training and his great prowess as a performing luminaire. Having developed the project over the past few years, Moret now unveils the latest chapter in his artistic journey.
‘Dreammaker’ is the record in question, an eight-track album seeking to showcase Charles’ fundamental musical values; those being dreamy, indie pop goodness with a healthy amount of fuzziness and fierce lyricism. It’s nevertheless a pop record, just truly unique, quirky and personal.
Next to the expressive aforementioned ‘Scissors’ – one of the album’s mellower offerings along with the textural ‘Stardust’ and the elegant ‘Thing You Wish’ – ‘Dreammaker’ also champions fiercer and more euphoric gems, such as the anthemic ‘Blended Nights’ and title-track ‘Dreammaker’. There’s something for everyone here – take your time and discover them all.
