Charlotte Dowsson steps up with new single ‘Press Play’
Emerging North-West London singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Charlotte Dowsson is stepping forward with her latest single, ‘Press Play’, offering a fresh introduction to her contemporary R&B sound and the influences shaping her artistry.
Drawing inspiration from ’70s soul and early-2000s R&B, Charlotte blends rich harmonies with live instrumentation, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and distinctly her own. On ‘Press Play’, she brings those influences together through warm Spanish guitar and smooth, understated vocals.
Produced by Cole and Benjamin Pinkus, the track is a slow-burning offering that leaves plenty of room for Charlotte’s voice to take centre stage. Its stripped-back arrangement carries the intimacy of classic 2000s R&B, while the melodic touches give the single a warmth that makes it easy to settle into.
The accompanying visuals bring a different kind of energy, taking on a carnival-inspired aesthetic with a DIY block-party feel. The vibrant approach adds another dimension to the release, complementing the track's laid-back sound with a more colourful visual identity.
With ‘Press Play’, Charlotte gives listeners a clearer sense of the musical world she is creating, balancing soulful influences with her own contemporary perspective. There is plenty of promise in what she is putting forward, and this latest release suggests she is an artist worth keeping an eye on.
