Release Date: 25th November 2013
Well, well, well, what have we
here then? This is a little bit lovely. Charlotte OC is a lady with an
incredibly soulful and sexy voice that would make the Motown legends sit up and
take notice. I have literally no idea where she hails from but Ms OC has found
her way in to my heart and I'm only half way through the EP! Title track
'Colour My Heart' is a sparse, piano
driven, throbbing pop lady-beast with elements of Bat For Lashes, Kimbra, Elli
Goulding and Florence + The Machine. 'Hangover' is finger clicking cool and
OC's voice moves seamlessly between fragile and sultry in a way that can only
endear her to the listener. There are two key elements to all of these tunes
with one being the atmospheric and carefully constructed music and the other
being the stunning, honey thick vocals of our heroine that have to be heard to
be fully appreciated. There's no let up on 'Cut The Rope' as the music gets
slightly more dramatic and those Florence Welch influences bubble to surface to
be mixed with some Kate Bush-isms and sprinkled with a little 80s power ballad
dust. Finishing up with 'Stolen Car', Charlotte OC shows off her big, bombastic
side as she insists "You make me feel like a stolen car". What we
have here, ladies and gents, is a lady with one of the most luscious voices I
have heard in a few years and boy does she know how to use it. Now all I need
to know is where she comes from and what the hell OC stands for (I'm guessing
it's Oblong Cuboids. Just because).
