Charlotte Day Wilson shares deluxe version of debut album ALPHA
LISTEN TO NEW SONG ‘EVEN IS THE LIE’ + ‘TAKE CARE OF YOU’ REMIX FT. KING PRINCESS, MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO & AMAARAE
| PRAISE FOR CHARLOTTE DAY WILSON “Charlotte Day Wilson is a one-person powerhouse” The FADER “Sparse, moody R&B is Charlotte Day Wilson’s signature” ELLE “Charlotte expertly pulls inspirations from jazz, R&B and soul and what results is an atmosphere that is solely her own” Hypebeast “Wilson’s voice is warm, like a slow soothing hum with a touch of soul” Harper’s Bazaar “Blending elements of jazz, soul, folk and R&B, Wilson writes deeply personal lyrics and delivers them with the expertise of a seasoned vocalist” Complex “Wilson’s songs are plaintive and open, carried by the tenor of her voice – rich, smokey and smooth, textured like the depths of the ocean – and the wisdom they project” Document Journal “The immaculately mixed ALPHA is instead built on weighty writing and daring arrangements in which Day Wilson stays front and centre, never allowing the production to overshadow her presence.” Pitchfork “Her debut full-length is all her—vocally forward and lyrically bare. The songs are centred on Wilson’s rich, soulful voice, giving her tracks the intimacy of a private performance, while also boasting dense, artful production.” Bandcamp “Wilson occupies a lane distinct from most burgeoning R&B stars and often allows her soulful music to be the centre of attention.” Billboard |
Today, Tkaronto / Toronto-based musician and producer Charlotte Day Wilson releases the deluxe edition of her breakthrough debut album ALPHA. LISTEN HERE.
The deluxe edition expands on the sonic narrative Charlotte introduced with the initial release of ALPHA by including an unreleased track ‘Even Is the Lie’ and the remix of ‘Take Care of You’ featuring King Princess, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Amaarae that was previously exclusively on Amazon. ALPHA (Deluxe) is out on all digital streaming platforms, with the vinyl edition of the album now available for pre-order. Charlotte Day Wilson will also embark on a headlining US tour in 2022. Full tour dates are listed below.
ALPHA is a euphoric blend of R&B, jazz, and soul music. The album amassed critical acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork, Billboard, FADER, Okay Player, and more. Charlotte made waves in the industry with the release of her debut EP CDW in 2016, along with her collaborations with BADBADNOTGOOD, Daniel Caesar, and Kaytranada. She made a return in 2018 with the poignant Stone Woman EP. Most recently, Drake sampled her song ‘Mountains’ in his track ‘Fair Trade’ (featuring Travis Scott) released on his album Certified Lover Boy.
