Canadian and Quebecoise singer Charlie Juste released her first single, Aquamarine.
The music is French Pop. The drums complement the song’s wavy rhythm. It has bold, suspense-style music that grabs the listeners’ attention. The up-and-down effect is a suitable choice to portray this melancholic mood. The tune has a fantastic composition. The blend of genres is impressive, combining Pop, Jazz, and Alternative. The music reminds me of a dramatic movie score from the 80s and Green Day’s early works. It has a familiarity combined with something contemporary. Pierre-Philippe Côté did a remarkable job with the composition and structure.
Charlie Juste’s voice is husky and dynamic. She has genuine empathy and vulnerability. Her vocal style is bold yet soft. Charlie Juste has an impressive range going from low to high pitch, gradually or instantly – a well-balanced way of singing.
The lyrics are profoundly poetic and full of contemplation. The words are abstract with a stream-of-consciousness vibe. The song expresses the boldness to break cycles and take action in one’s life. The lyrics are both confident and vulnerable, which is a rare combination. The reference to Mercury Retrograde is a nice touch for those who follow planetary Retrogrades would appreciate. Mentioning Joliette feels personal. These lyrics have so much depth; Charlie Juste and Shawn De Leemans did a remarkable job writing this song.
The single Aquamarine is available.
