CHARLIE SIMPSON - SINGLE - DOWN DOWN DOWN, AND EP - WHEN WE WERE LIONS
Ok so around Decemeber time Charlie Simpson AKA Charlie from Busted and Fightstar released an EP (must have been pretty low key as im a massive charlie simpson fan and iv only just discovered it). Saying that its not even on itunes yet so i doubt its been officially launched...
The EP is titled 'When we were Lions,' after the title single. The feel of the album is very Folk Rock, and hats off to him, hes made a fantastic job! He wrote all the songs (apart from Bullet), sang everything on the EP, and played everything on there too, now theres a sign of a real musician!
If you havent heard any of the songs i recommend you listen to 'Lost,' its a real hauntingly beautiful treat. His voice is so haunting and yet soulful at the same time, it really is beautiful and unique... This song in particular reminds me of something from twilight, kinda muse but folk style...just gorgeous.
So anyway, moving on from the sickeningly good EP, we have his brand new single 'Down Down Down' which is currently featured on Radio 1s playlist. The style again is rather folk rock, which a haunting vocal and sick finger picking. The guy is talented, and to any busted critics, this proves beyond reasonable doubt the guys did have real talent, especially Charlie. I have bought this single, and its the best 79p iv ever spent! That good im considering doing a cover...
So what do you think of charlies new stuff? Personally i think hes got better with age, almost like a fine wine... hes definitely hit his best so far, i just hope he can keep it up!
