KATHMANDU capture the magic of falling in love on their irresistibly catchy summer track, Charlie.
KATHMANDU – Charlie
Fronted by songwriter and lyricist Donna Marie, KATHMANDU is a Dutch alternative four-piece band known for their music that thrives on the dynamic tension between light and dark. They skillfully explore the space where these contrasting elements meet, but the true magic in their sound lies in its natural catchiness.
What began as a joke unexpectedly turned into one of KATHMANDU’s most captivating tracks to date. The creation of Charlie stemmed from a rather unique and memorable series of events. Although the band has earned praise for their undeniably infectious melodies in the past, some friends playfully suggested that their sound was too indie to produce truly catchy pop songs.
Taking this as a challenge, KATHMANDU set out to craft a first-rate pop tune, and they certainly succeeded. Lyrically, Charlie captures the feeling of being with someone who brightens your world and brings a genuine smile to your face. The song draws inspiration from Charlie Burg’s Don’t Wanna Be Okay Without You, which also inspired its name.
Like the sweetest cotton candy you’ve ever tasted, Charlie is an absolute delight for the ears. With gentle, dreamy guitar passages and Donna’s powerful vocal presence shining through, the song becomes the ultimate feel-good track, perfectly suited for the summer season.
“Heartfelt and deeply sincere, Charlie is a charming musical piece that showcases KATHMANDU’s artistry and skill.”
Overall, Charlie highlights the band’s impressive growth while hinting at the untapped potential they continue to develop. If this track was a test of their songwriting and composition abilities, they’ve undoubtedly passed with flying colours.
