Kerry Charles, a songwriter and producer from New Jersey, navigates emotional duality like a hidden master in his new pop-rock single, “In A Minute.” It is a song that reverberates with the energy of someone on the edge, simultaneously set free and terrified, walking away from stability in search of something larger.
With a whispery falsetto that wraps around you, Kerry creates a world that feels like an exhale after holding your breath for too long. The dense layers of synthesizers swim around his vocals, creating a dreamy yet electric soundscape to match the gravity of making life-deciding choices. This song captures that bittersweet moment when you resign from a job with no safety net, pension, or benefits, the channel in pursuit of that elation/terror of freedom.
The lyrics evoke that moment where we all stand at the crossroads, where fear and excitement mingle equally. If you’ve walked out of a job, a relationship, or a situation that no longer serves you, Kerry Charles chronicles that emotional tightrope walk with insouciant aplomb.
The Max Cudworth sax solo is an instrumental break and an explosion of emotion, a musical version of panic and ecstasy. The way the sax dances with the melody builds an exhilarating crescendo that deepens emotions already bubbling under the surface. It’s the kind of solo you close your eyes to, pressing your feet flat into the ground as if trying to feel the weight of such moments, like that first deep breath you take after stepping into the unknown.
In “In A Minute,” Kerry Charles shows that he composes soundtracks for life’s pivotal moments. The track radiates a feeling combining a shot of pop-meets-rock with a dash of indie extraordinary, making it fresh and timeless, a must-hear for anyone who has ever stood on the precipice of change.
