“It’s pretty R&B inspired, which excites me,” Jendayi Bonds of teen sister-brother
duo Charlie Belle explains about the
band’s new EP “I Don’t Want To Be
Alone,” scheduled for release on Sept. 18th, 2015. “I’ve really been feeling the groove and
trying to figure out a way to put that into Charlie Belle without taking away from who we are.”
She has succeeded.
This time, complemented by the agile bass playing of
studio vet David Andersen, the songs
jump in a way that gets in your face, under your skin, and into your heart and
mind. The groove Jendayi is feeling hits home and is immediate.
“Nobody knows me like I do / But everyone is telling
me what I’m supposed to do / And nobody knows what goes on in my head / But
everyone is acting like all my thoughts can be read,” Jendayi sings on just-premiered the
track “Petting Zoo,” the song most
reminiscent of the band’s previous EP (early 2015’s “Get To Know”), bearing a distinct UK sound that doesn’t quit.
The Bonds
siblings, who began playing together as a duo in 2011 (promptly landing in USA Today with a cover of “Strange Powers” by Magnetic Fields), made a splash earlier
this year with their breezy debut, which recalled the English “alternapop”
sound of the 90’s in a succinct and memorable handful of songs that reflected Jendayi’s mature-beyond-her-years
songwriting.
Displaying a style that she began to hone starting
with her first songwriting attempts at only 10-years-old (brother Gyasi started on drums at four!), the “Get To Know” EP earned Jendayi’s songs their first bit of
national attention. The new collection
shows off a major step forward in the young lyricist’s songwriting and abilities
with a hook.
“I Don’t
Want To Be Alone,” the latest EP from
Charlie Belle, arrives on Sept. 18th, 2015. Jendayi Bonds is available for
interviews. Contact Josh
Bloom at Fanatic for
