“nothing, anymore” by CharlieCityy stirs a cathartic dive into finding clarity in chaos
CharlieCityy, the Birmingham-based artist, spins a tangled web of indie rock grit and hyper-pop edge, expressing an unresolved chaos that often gets left unspoken with his new single, “nothing, anymore.” Influenced by the ethereal qualities of artists like Brakence and 2hollis, Charlie Cooper, professionally known as CharlieCityy, channels his inner sonic shaman and guides the audience through deeply personal waves of emotional purge, where rock-rooted catharsis meets trickling pop sensitivity.
From the opening chords, the audience is immersed in an introspective exploration of regret and disengagement that defies simple categorization. The lo-fi guitar melodies, evocative of the anxiety induced by rush hour traffic, intertwine to create a compelling tension that reflects CharlieCityy’s sense of emotional messiness and void. Rather than neatly reconciling his emotions, he exposes his wounds like those inevitably prodded. It’s echoing the relentless scrolling through one’s regrets, recognizing the absence of resolution but discovering an unexpected comfort.
“nothing, anymore” lyrically delivers impactful and enigmatic reflections that evoke moments in life that feel partially forgotten yet carry significant emotional weight, much like stumbling upon a fragmented grocery list that unwittingly stirs up memories of a past relationship. The anthemic chorus seamlessly bursts forth, melding the sonic landscape to encapsulate the essence of lingering regret with blunt honesty that never quite settles.
The production exemplifies a harmonious fusion of glistening pop elements and an assertive rock demeanor, beckoning listeners to immerse themselves in its intricacies. This juxtaposition attests to CharlieCityy’s proficiency in crafting simultaneously chaotic masterpieces within profoundly meaningful genres. It’s an ideal track for cathartic listening without resolution, leaving fans eager to anticipate more of his sonic ventures.

With “Silhouette,” Bam Rigby captures the spirit of resilience
Progress is often met with resistance, and Bam Rigby’s new single, “Silhouette,” is a truthful and heartfelt reflection of that reality. A recording out of New York City, it mashes the upbeat sound of indie pop with the rougher sound of indie rock to make perseverance a fun listen while reminding us that every little step counts, even when you’re not sure where you’re going.
“Silhouette” has a lot of momentum with a propulsive rhythm and plenty of live instrumentation. There’s a certain warmth to the song because it was recorded on analog, and every guitar, drum, and harmony has character. The production gives the music a timelessness that feels both familiar and new.
Rigby’s voice works well in the arrangement, offering a blend of quiet contemplation and steady resolve. The song builds with rising background harmonies that gradually ease the emotional burden, reflecting the persistence at the heart of its narrative. What you get is a song that admits to struggle but does not succumb to it, that chooses hope and resilience in the midst of defeat.
“Silhouette” is a statement about the quiet determination you need to stay the course when distractions and setbacks threaten to throw you off course. The first release from his upcoming debut album, “Sometimes I Forget to Breathe,” this release introduces us to an artist who believes in real musicianship and meaningful storytelling, and leaves us with plenty of reasons to look forward to what comes next.
