It is very tempting and very
easy to compare young female country singer/songwriter’s to Taylor Swift, but then
again she is an inspiration for many of the class of 2020, and epitomises
modern country. So do we compare
Charlotte Young to her? Well, yes, and
no! The style is there, but Charlotte
has a husky edge to her voice.
With her debut single
Whiplash, Charlotte has given us a slight teenage vibe but with that matured
edge, similar to Taylor Swift in her “you do and you don’t, will and you won’t”
lyric, but again, moved on, into a whiskey
haze!
Charlotte allows the
instruments to stress the emotions rather than just her vocals, with the reach
for higher notes coming in later in the track.
The song tells the story of how she met him – it’s a very visual song.
It all happened at a whiplash speed, short choppy lyrics and changes in tempo
emphasise this feeling.
Whilst this is a debut
single, Charlotte is certainly not new to performing, being a regular face on
the Birmingham open mic scene, both singing and hosting as well as gigging
around the Midlands, honing and perfecting her craft.
There is one more comparison
with Taylor Swift – Charlotte has achieved a country chart number 1!
Whiplash, the debut single
from Charlotte Young is available on all major digital platforms to stream and
download
