A bold, uplifting and fierce anthem, ‘Get Outta My Yard’ marks Charlotte Grayson’s welcome return, following up on a two-year hiatus. Leaving behind her previous band The Shame Areas – which still managed to record the single for her – the talented English songstress is now focusing on her solo effort, and we couldn’t be happier to see her releasing such a powerful, charming track.
Built on eclectic rock-pop vibes, ‘Get Outta My Yard’ has a prominent nostalgic character. Its sultry, playful aura seems to borrow from power pop as much as it does from mainstream songwriting and melodies. The single fully supports Grayson’s relatable lyricism and highlights her evocative, dynamic vocals, which are always ready to grab listeners by the collar.
Recounting a real-life experience of a drunk boy throwing stones at Charlotte’s window (to declare his love), ‘Get Outta My Yard’ works both literally and figuratively. While it’s certainly steeped in personal experience, a wider take on it symbolises the independence and authenticity we should all strive for, keeping toxic people at bay.
