Rising pop/rock star Charlotte Sands tugs on heartstrings with her new single, “blindspot,” a raw and nostalgia-drenched ballad that captures the bittersweet pain of secret crushes. The song comes as a preview of her much-anticipated debut album, “can we start over?” which will be released on January 24th, a keystone in her fast-rising career.
Charlotte vividly explores this portrait of unrequited love in her song “blindspot,” waiting on the sidelines as someone you adore falls for someone else. It’s about having feelings for someone you are friends with. Seeing their life unfolding and knowing they don’t look at you the same way is a quiet heartbreak.
“blindspot” is an emotional tension masterclass, with moody alt-rock textures underpinned by her signature upward-spiraling vocals. The mournful lines give way to an anthemic chorus, summing up the push and pull of desire and restraint. Paired with a haunting visual, the song plunges listeners into the pain of a love that exists across distance.
This single sets the stage for “can we start over?” an album in the making, collecting previously released songs like “use me,” “pity,” and other new ones that solidify her knack as a genre-defying storyteller. Just after the album drop, Charlotte takes to the road on a headlining tour worldwide, taking in dates across the globe, including her highly-anticipated debut at the UK’s legendary Download festival.
