Writing about music every day, we are pretty lucky to come in contact with some absolute musical talents. There are people – in this rich and complicated world – that possess an innate technical ability towards everything that makes a noise. Peeps who can play a multitude of instruments, and craft engaging melodies in seconds. One of those modern heroes is certainly Freddy Charles, musician and producer from Los Angeles, California. When diving into his own material, boasting a whopping 11-album released to date, one must be ready to keep a no-thrill approach, embracing instead the copious substance the project has to offer.
Blending a multitude of genres and influences, Freddy Charles exercises his free creative spirit, not afraid of mixing different source materials into one coherent, innovative record. ‘The Tower’ is the Californian talent’s latest effort, building on the premises we were explaining above. In it, the listener will be confronted with a staggering 18 tracks, all exploring a fictional sonic land encompassing soft rock, modern jazz, and a touch of blues.
From gritty pieces to more melodious, poised numbers, there’s something for everyone in the album.
‘All The Will Is Gone’ takes the role of lead single, showcasing how proficient Charles is with different instruments. From drums to guitars, from bass to vocals, everything gets played by him. This allows him to distil exactly what he seeks to achieve, not having to compromise on any aspect. The result is a mellow, nostalgic and epic track with a touch of cinematic energy.
