I hope my album arrives by Saturday 😄

[@billysantos1]

Awesome! Thanx for this song, amazing!!! (Alissa with the blue wig looks like Kate Perry) ^^

[@badbat01]

WOW! That's the entirety of what I could muster. Positively dumbfounded. I'm never usually stuck for words. This one got me.

[@ElRenecito]

Charlotte feat. Simone, Simone feat. Alissa, Charlotte feat. Alissa. All in the same year ❤🤘

[@martini742]

just misses elize :(

[@BrunaAlvezBhertola-hz9mk]

Oh boy... ❤ this video reminds me of the classics from the 90s on MTV. The sonority sounds like grunge with gothic metal. This is pure talent. Congratulations Charlotte.

[@DesertRainReads]

Beyond glad to see Charlotte is still making music after leaving Delain and this sounds like a heavier take on what they produce. Not to mention her voice is so on point. Goodness, this is awesome. I look forward to checking out more.

[@Obsessive_Devotion]

Charlotte-Simone-Alissa-Charlotte the circle has closed. 😍😍😍

[@Bella_Ellis]

i was on set for this video!! really excited to see the results ❤❤ both charlotte and alissa were lovely too!!!

[@CharlotteWesselsOfficial]

thanks for your help during the shoot!!

[@juanplopes]

The way the lyrics adapt Ode to the West Wind is simply fantastic. I've never seen a poem fit so well in a song like this. I just can't stop listening to this.

[@avsilnedrass]

LYRICS On whose stream, mid the steep sky's commotion Loose clouds, like earth's decaying leaves are shed Shook from the tangled boughs of heaven and ocean Angels rain and of lightning: There are spread On the bluest of surface of thine aëry surge Oh, hear the black rain, and fire and hail will burst Panting like the waves, the flowers I'll be trembling at your powers Lift me like a wave, a leaf, a cloud I fall upon the thorns of life, I bleed A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed Someone much like you Wild west wind breath of Autumns being Oh, from whose unseen presence, the leaves are dead Fleeing like ghosts from an enchanter, black and red Yellow and pale onto their dark and wintry bed Lift me like a wave, a leaf, a cloud I fall upon the thorns of life, I bleed A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed Uncontrollable Drive my words over the universe Scatter from an unextinguished hearth Like ashes and like sparks Spirit and thoughts Uncontrollable Uncontrollable O, Wind, if Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? O, Wind, If Winter, when the blizzard comes, can Spring be far behind? Winged seeds where they lie, cold and low Like a corpse in its grave until spring will blow Her clarion over the dreaming earth below Lift me like a wave, a leaf, a cloud I fall upon the thorns of life, I bleed A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowed Someone much like you Drive my words over the universe Scatter from an unextinguished hearth Like ashes and like sparks Spirit and thoughts Uncontrollable Uncontrollable

[@cinemaeye1967]

Alissa has great clean vocals!

[@oleksandrbyelyenko435]

Yeah. I really miss her cleans. I used to listen a lot to her during The Agonist era.

[@James-if3kc]

"Cleans". Jesus...

[@Ghoztring]

How is it possible that none of the songs on this album are bad or even ‘fillers’? Each one is so original and unique. This is probably going to be the biggest album in the genre this year. No one is releasing such a cohesive collection where every single track is pure GOLD.

[@joelgaliciaramirez8356]

Thinking the same... Can't wait for the whole album. Charlotte's making such incredible job 🤘

[@pheumann86]

What. The. F***!? 😮 Every song I've heard from your solo album so far is exceptionally "great" (as if that could cover it). I've been a metal head for more than 25 years now and I'm used to albums being two songs I love, one song I find annoying and the rest is between fine and pretty good. But with this album I find for one thing that no song is like the other, though there's a consistency of the best elements. And yet everyone of them is so great I keep listening to them on single repeat litteraly for days. I've very rarely had a whole album speak to me that deeply on a healthy emotional level as well as artistically. To me this is a truly exceptional masterpiece. You, Charlotte, are an extremely talented artist and a great, lovable person (loved your post about Lizzo btw. or rather about the hate you had to witness towards her in your post)! Thank you for letting us partake in this journey of yours ❤

[@Silmerion191]

This album is going to be massive

[@carneth]

The poetic collaborations continue! I love the heaviness of the song, and the visuals of the video are darkly stunning. Love everything about this!

[@ericgaudet5488]

Great job with your collaboration with the song Ode to the West Winds Charlotte Wessele you have a great voice just like Alissa White -Gluz love hearing her clean Vocals they are incredible.

[@brendastokvis4380]

How can one woman produce all this wonderful, energetic awesomeness? Only a few days left for the drop on the album, I can't wait to hear it from start to finish 🤘🔥

[@jamesm6377]

Love Alissa's clean vocals!!

[@knight907]

Yay! More clean vocals from Alissa! Love to hear it! And Charlotte is wonderful as always. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 🙏

[@villimagg]

The beautiful clear vocals and the brutality of the 8 string guitar is somehow the perfect harmonious match. Monstrous and beautiful at the same time. Awesome!

[@margiesusan5022]

This entire experience from the Patreon preview with Alissa and the Beastlings yesterday to today’s KZbin premiere has been wonderful. Love the song & video and truly appreciate the effort Alissa put in to traveling to make the video with Charlotte & the band. The dresses are gorgeous and the icky ooze looks perfectly putrid 😳 Great job to all involved!

[@guytarantello4220]

Great Collaboration Ladies!! Thank you!!

[@amandar3148]

I am obsessed with this song! I have been listening to it on repeat all day. Beautiful job Charlotte and Alissa 🖤

[@duhsakadsoul1824]

YES!!!, I CAN FEEL THE POWERFUL AURA . AMAZING , WOW . The moment you look at their face and eyes is the moment you say YES!!! PLEASE!!!

[@edivad1676]

[@brontiq]

Charlotte is serving us gold with every new song. And collabs we never knew we needed. Simply awesome 🖤🖤🖤

[@RammmFan]

Charlotte is force of nature. and alissa is perfect duet

[@tamy7718]

Sim, elas combinam muito bem!

[@alexwashington3288]

Two beautiful and very talented women with perfect voices are the best match for this awesome song and video. I hope that the collaboration of this great duo continues. Maybe next time as a trio with Simone Simons?

[@romasaurusrex1047]

This video and The Exorcism were my fav videos of all the singles. Absolutely amazing.

[@pheumann86]

I can't even choose a favourite anymore 😮

[@tamy7718]

Me too

[@anthonyhansel9175]

Charlotte, you're killing me with the way you're killing it on this new album.

[@BangtheheadthatdoesnotbanG]

It's totally fabulous. I can't wait for this album. Perfect combination with Alissa 👏🔥🤘

[@swigguru8723]

Makeup and costumes for this video are SO on point ❤

[@thegigguy]

Yet another amazing duet from 2 tatented vocalists on the music 🎵 scene 👍👌🤘

[@playgamescarlos]

I enjoyed listening to Ode To The West Wind song very much. The instrumentals & all the singing are a great Fit! :D The music video is pretty good. Very theatrical! In some video shots, I love the way that Alissa & Charlotte posed like the Cherub painting (I used to own the printed paint in the past) with the wings props! Good job to crew putting on a nice production, and way to go both Alissa & Charlotte! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@richardwinchester2418]

OMG!!! That Harmonizing!!!! & that hard hitting in the background!! Damn this is good & Ethereal!!

[@juangarza309]

Ohhh... My... God... What an unbelievable performance... I can't believe you girls can blow our mind song after song... What an awesome job, congrats 😍💙❤️✨✨

[@matteo5484]

Very beautiful video and song. I love Charlotte voice and art.

[@nerisfelipe7934]

Awesome! I don't have words to describe this masterpiece its like the tragedy of the common when Charlotte was in Delain

[@JohnG-tx3mh]

This is SOO good! The whole album is just one amazing song after another!! It's been on repeat since I bought it!

[@rbsanta2024]

absolutely stunning visuals cant wait for the album to release

[@thepriest98]

Gotta say I have really enjoyed all the singles so far. Looking forward to the full release!

[@maanvis81]

I just love those riffs by Timo Somers!

[@soyvilem]

What a song!!!! i love the heavy groove and the beautiful voices are dope!

[@salanee]

Another great song of ladies, love them together, thei voices perfectly fit

[@j.r714]

O capricho da Charlotte em cada clipe tá surpreendendo. Não vemos com frequência um artista solo independente se esforçando tanto no meio do Rock. Tá de parabéns.

[@richardwinchester2418]

She’s harmonizing with the growl!!!!

[@julioarel]

Wonderful song! I'm particularly loving these duets

[@diedzjeeoudshoorn7726]

You blend very well together. Like Floor and Irene you look and sound like sisters. You always succeed in finding unsuspected melodies taking us on a journey. This really is going to be a fantastic album. It will blend well with my interior 😊

[@MzzzCain]

I absolutely love "praise " ! Great album! Yall are amazing. Sending love all the way from Texas! Enjoy your pie! ❤

[@EternalWishes96]

Wow, this gave me goosebumps! Your voices are the perfect match and I think it´s great that Alissa always does a lot of clean vocals in your songs. Her growling is impressive and great, but I also really like her singing voice. Fantastic visuals, too. This is art with an important message!

[@KindHeadBanger]

oh, I already have goosebumps! 🖤

[@unclemosk1887]

Love metal with Angelic Voices such as these. Well done and can't wait to own the album.

[@markymark8008]

Incredible!❤ The Obsession will be my obsession Album of the year😎

[@wolfeknighthawke4949]

All Hail these awesome singers and awesome tune and video. GREAT JOB LADIES!!!!!!!!!! Also song so true. More need to know what going on.

[@hyperspeed24]

Now this I like. I was waiting for the grunts and they did not disappoint.

[@richardwinchester2418]

Oh sweet!!! You’ve got Alissa’s trademark growl floating softly underneath in the background oh that’s genius!!!

[@LittleKiksadi]

Brilliant. Your voices complement each other so beautifully.

[@wshropshire]

I always forget how wonderful Alissa's clean vocals are.

[@unregisteredforall]

The main theme seems to revolve around the relationship with nature and the cycles of life, inspired by the poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley. The voices combine a melancholic beauty with a visceral force. It is a pleasure to see Alissa White-Gluz make new gestures and also Charlotte, who since her video "The Exorcism" continues to increase them. Congratulations. THE BAD: Showing the guttural singing that Charlotte can achieve makes many of us here hope to see more of those gutturals in her next videos.

[@alejandrorosales6937]

Wow this new song is go to sound great with these two female singer's i still whant look into some more bands to explore to feel the energy passion ✨ and heart strength 💪 spirit in every great band

[@streetfashiontours]

Perfect duet. Thanks for this song. ❤

[@Madam_Morti]

The creativity about this video, the singers and the music y fantastic.Congrats Charlotte and company, your recent work is beautiful ❤

[@TheNetsrac]

I love it, you're both awesome 💙🤘🏻

[@p5gBand]

Oh my gosh. That was AWESOME!!!!

[@pathhapp]

I love how Charlotte's band is, essentially, everybody who used to be in Delain. Lovely people all, glad to see them all still making music together.

[@KevinTarrant-by3fi]

😮 Dos grandes del metal, esto será épico.

[@TheSentinel909]

Dude this album gonna be so proggy - LOVE. IT!

[@SpookyApparition]

What is proggy about this?

[@TheSentinel909]

@@SpookyApparition The melodies are not very standard/generic, and neither is the song structure

[@deletado12]

Insane and beautiful voices!

[@georgerodriguez1070]

a gift of these goddesses to us mortals !!

[@TheHenningway]

I can not come over how brilliant the keychanges are in this song and on the whole album. @Charlotte: You won a new lifetime-fan....this ist therapy to me, although I needed none...superb 💖💞

Am I detecting just the slightest hint of middle eastern flavour in there as well?!?! Oh yes!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@RamiRamos1]

Not your usual fairytale story , love this ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@heatherbop2946]

The outfits ❤ wow

[@Hizkia_33]

Yes, another collab this year! Now we need Alissa to release a solo album with her and Simone and in the mix, and the circle will be complete, haha. Anyway, I'm so happy they ended up making this. It's so detailed and filled with great meaning. I believe it relates to pollution. With Alissa's calm expression, while displaying her rough vocals, it seems like it represents a two-sided feeling to that matter, while Charlotte represents innocent nature. There are those who do the polluting, and this part shows the ones who see harm being done, but do nothing to lessen it, and just take it is comes. That's my interpretation, though. I have to read the lyrics too see more. But yeah, that was quite enjoyable.

[@SamBrockmann]

Amazing vocals!

[@unregisteredforall]

El tema principal parece girar en torno a la relación con la naturaleza y los ciclos de la vida, inspirado en el poema de Percy Bysshe Shelley. Las voces combinan una belleza melancólica con una fuerza visceral. Es un agrado ver a Alissa White-Gluz realizar nuevas gesticulaciones y asi tambien a Charlotte, la cual desde su video "The Exorcism" ella continua aumentando las mismas. Felicitaciones. LO MALO: Mostrar el canto gutural al cual Charlotte puede llegar, nos hace a varios aqui, esperar ver mas de esos guturales en sus proximos videos.

[@actualcanibal4589]

I've already pre-ordered the album, but I'm happy to keep getting drip fed so many amazing songs and videos.

[@tareskisloki8579]

I keep missing your premieres, but I absolutely love this track (I did see the Crowdcast VOD, so I'm caught up on the story). Can't wait for my copy of The Obsession to arrive!

[@davidnc9]

"The new album will be on the heavier side." F*ck yeah!! 🤘🏻🎸 And this song slays, by the way 💙🫶🏻🖤
