| “Amazing voice.” – Sunday Times Culture “The singer-songwriter has been perfecting her timeless pop sound, infused with her soulful, saccharine vocals” –Wonderland “Pop queen Charlotte has got the dreamiest of voices.” – Fabulous Magazine “Her voice is just incredible. Definitely one I’m keeping my eyes on as next up!” – Jamal Edwards, SBTV “Rich production supports Charlotte’s immense voice while dynamic construction allows it to ebb and flourish.” – The Line of Best Fit “Prodigious.” – Complex Tipped by Sir Elton John and Lewis Capaldi, Charlotte Jane’s growing reputation has cemented her position as one of the UK’s hottest rising prospects – something which has been underlined by airplay at Radio 1 and Radio 2. Now the 22-year-old releases her latest single ‘Alone In A Crowded Room’, which is part of ‘Playlist’, an innovative book/album project by Germany’s best-selling psychological thriller author Sebastian Fitzek. Fitzek’s novel, released today, tells the story of Feline, a teenage girl who is kidnapped. The only item she is carrying at the time of her abduction is an old MP3 player that contains 14 songs. Her playlist provides the only connection to the outside world as she can rearrange the tracklisting to provide clues as to her location. The playlist is immersed within the text as Fitzek quotes certain titles and lyrics within the story. The result is a mixed media experience in which the narrative and the music – and reality and fiction – become blurred and intertwined. That is extended to the creative process too, with the story and the songs both influencing each other. Charlotte Jane’s ‘Alone In A Crowded Room’ reflects Feline’s emotions – her lyrics a desperate plea from Feline as she hopes someone can help her escape from the torrid situation she is in. Charlotte Jane wrote the song with its producers Phil Simmonds (Anson Seabra) and Linden Jay (Loyle Carner). Charlotte Jane is one of the 14 artists who feature on the album. It features high profile international artists such as Tom Walker, Justin Jesso and Beth Ditto alongside leading German talents such as Alle Farben, Vize and Kool Savas. More details on both the book and the album can be found HERE. Sebastian Fitzek said, “People say I have a remarkable imagination, but even in my wildest dreams I could not have imagined that this project would end up taking on these fantastic proportions. 15 stars of the national and international music scene made the content of my new psychological thriller real, and made ‘Playlist’ my most extraordinary book project to date.” Since debuting in 2006, all of the 49-year-old’s thrillers have climbed to the top of the Spiegel bestseller list in Germany, leading to the Berliner becoming the nation’s best-selling author for five consecutive years. Many of his novels have been adapted into feature films, while his international renown has resulted in his work being translated into 36 languages. So far, Fitzek has sold over 14 million copies of his books, plus another million audiobooks. Charlotte Jane’s early adventures in music included performing soul songs with her musician grandparents as a child and hitting arenas as part of the Voice in a Million choir. With a flair for songwriting that matches the class of her voice, she has continually enhanced her identity as an artist, notably with two EPs to date: this year’s ‘Refuge’ and her independently released 2019 debut ‘Nowhere To Hide’. Her story was fully explored in a feature with The Line of Best Fit. Follow Charlotte Jane: Official Website Instagram Twitter Facebook Spotify |
