Charlotte's voice has too much character. You would recognize her among thousands. Her sweet but powerful tone is something unique. And her lyrics? Always a punch in the stomach. My god what an artist! She deserves the career of Tarja and other great women in metal. Full support to you Charlotte, I know that one day I will read you on the bill of biggest festivals :)

[@HomeVideo-c7s]

That's right, Charlotte is multifaceted both as a performer and as a poetess and composer....and Tarja....if it weren't for Holopainen, who would know her....An average, though well-trained soprano....sorry...

[@KurtHiemcke]

Very well put here, fully support too though wish I could do more but I will I damn well will. Only thing is I would say she deserves the career of Floor or Simone, nothing less ❤

[@thedevilinme-p2l]

@@HomeVideo-c7s I'm not a big fan of soprano voices in metal in general and even if Tarja is not the best soprano she's a pioneer along Liv Kristine and Kari Rueslatten and she's one of the most famous female singer in metal nowdays, I think only Doro reached her success outside the band

[@thedevilinme-p2l]

@@KurtHiemcke But Floor and Simone are both frontwomen of big band, is more easy for them :) Charlotte now is walking by her own with the support of fellows ex Delain but she's indipendent so a bit harder but she will make it. I also think that Charlotte's solo work is far superior from the solo albums by both Simone and Floor.

[@KurtHiemcke]

@@thedevilinme-p2l So it was easy too for Tarja in that way

[@nullpunter]

I think I need to adopt the "What can go wrong except everything?" question.

[@margiesusan5022]

@@nullpunter One of my favourite lines in the song 💓

[@RammmFan]

Charlotte is working-bee, she's full of energy, and she's raidiating it with her amazing smile

[@ExpectedDart434]

Why is every song Charlotte releases an absolute banger? Can't stop listening to it

[@AEMolinaro]

because Charlotte isn't real, she's a manifestation of our demand for great music.

[@DanielHoerle-ww9so]

Its Good to see Charlotte establish her own sound since leaving Delain, shes a little more progressive now. Timo on guitar what a monster player.

[@marcp.1752]

Delain nowadays is totally boring.

[@Robocat9000]

@@marcp.1752 Agree, every song they release in their last album sounded the same. And they all sounded flat - no ups and downs, no feelings. Hopefully they recover though. But Charlotte is killing it over here

[@marcp.1752]

@@Robocat9000 Nowadays, it's all pop-esque, easy, chillout & silly, listening. Nowbody seems to read the lyrics from songs - i do that, since i was 12, FR! Diana only does have cute looks, but no voice, for my ears. Sounds very replaceable & boring. Its the same, when for example Nightwish became famous - and overnight, there have been literally dozens symphonic bands out there, with female singers, just to copy their style - and 98% of them have been like cr@p, because it was always a cheap, copykatz show.

[@DesertRainReads]

Indeed, I can see why she wanted go establish herself beyond the threshold of Delain. She's definitely carving out her own niche and it's nice to see. I kinda agree in a way that Delain has become homogenized, Diana is a decent singer, I like her but she just doesn't have the emotional punch that Charlotte delivers in her vocal delivery. I do hope they improve and all though.

[@erickmerced3418]

Je vous aime Charlotte!!!...I love your music; I love your voice...Is impossible not to love you!!...From the Caribbean you have a fan, and I cannot imagine my life without your artistry thread... I logged in to your frequency and has been a Wessels Grammed experience and I don't want to log out, never!

[@AEMolinaro]

What kind of deal with what kind of devil did this woman make to be dropping all these masterpieces back to back?

[@ytbr3383]

I'm not religous but it's more likely a deal with God cause this music is a blessing. If it was a deal with the devil the music would have evil themes and negative messages, pretty opposite to this.😁 I love that symphonic metal can have beautiful, positive and mature and intelligent themes. I love some black metal(the music, how it sounds) but the hail satan/blood and death themes gets boring fast, I used to be like that when I was a young edgy teenager who wanted to be rebellious but grew up, still am rebellious but want my music to be more mature and have beautiful and positive themes. Cause it does affect how you feel. When I was listening too much suicidal black metal, while it helped in small amounts, listening all the time made me more depressed. Listening to it when I am happy can make me less happy and make my mood negative, but when I was really suicidal/depressed it was actually helpful cause it expressed the difficult emotions that I felt. Also, satan and the devil is religious creations. Satanism is a religion, exists real theistic satanism and there also exists psuedo satanism which isn't theistic, edgy people who think pentagrams and other religious satanic stuff/symbolism is cool. I used also to think it was cool but I was not mature back then, lol. Some of the bands can be really good but the themes sometimes make it hard to take it serious. If black metal had more intelligent, mature and positive themes it would get a lot more listeners instead of being very underground (some few bm bands like dimmu or cof have gotten almost to mainstream status but they have many songs that have more mature themes instead of just hail satan, war, death and blood. Or hate against Christ that actually had an important and beautiful message that aligns more with metal and open-minded, intelligent, good hearted people than anything. Why hate Jesus? It isn't Jesus that is causing issues, it is evil people who use religion for destructive, sometimes evil purposes. It makes the music look destructive being like that. Why hate someone who wanted us to love, accept and forgive each other? If everyone would get inspired by Jesus message this world would be a sucha more beautiful and better place.

[@AEMolinaro]

@@ytbr3383 exactly, there's a duality, conflict, contradiction in the best art.

[@neptunenko9557]

"banger over banger" is the description of what i feel now that i finally put an ear on her work...reminds me the ethearal atmosphere of the gathering but with her own artistry...

[@macko11m]

I'm crying, thank you for inviting me to the cry room! It's like catharsis, I really needed something like that. Charlotte, you're brilliant! ❤

[@oliverroggenbuck7824]

It´s 2024 and we happen to witness the rise of a female Metal Band leader. Yes, she can !

[@AEMolinaro]

hail to the mother fucking queen.

[@margiesusan5022]

I told you yesterday on Patreon you made a room big enough for us all to cry in as many of us patrons were crying as we watched this with you…it’s simply lovely Charlotte & the Obsession, Joeys drumming truly shines and of course…Timos guitar singing along with you…chefs kiss, you’ve made something sumptuous again! Hugs from America to you all.

[@leestyles2937]

💯 👍

[@caterinalosi3380]

My... This is my favourite so far. It made me cry

[@jgalc]

I can taste the guitar solo😊

[@DesertRainReads]

This is amazing, I can see why Charlotte went solo now. Clearly wanted total creative control of her career and it's working brilliantly. Bless you, keep kicking ass.

[@ChipMoody]

Nothing better than getting online to find new material from Charlotte & crew!!! 💜

[@youaremysecretstream]

Great song,❣️ but once again this guitar... ❤️‍🔥

[@hubersn]

I loved the original Patreon version, but this new band version is so incredibly good. Different, but in a very good way. The contrast between the slow and mellow part and the heavier parts is beautiful in its own way. And that guitar solo by Timo. Remarkable. Cannot wait for the album.

[@Closminding]

Truly Great guitar solo by Timo played with real conviction. Hes one of a kind that guy. 3:30. And classy drumming specially in the breaks. We're getting there. But we're not there yet. 😉↗️

[@Jaime97]

La voz de Charlotte es increíble🤘

[@felipereverend]

El cambio de ritmo y ambiente de esta canción del minuto 02:40 me llego al corazon,pero por sobre todo la tonalidad que le da esta cantante es sorprendente 😮

[@nolascene504]

He also writes, produces and sings yes, but not on this song (before anyone is misleaded here)

A very beautiful song by all parameters! Each new song is better and better. Charlotte is becoming capable of surpassing Delain. This seemed impossible to me in a solo career, but Charlotte proves the opposite. A wonderful band, wonderful music, invariably beautiful voice and words. Thank you, Charlotte!

[@pizzasaurolophus]

The last 4 or 5 songs Charlotte has put out for her new Album is better than anything Delain has done for over a decade.
