| “…a poetic blend of R&B and indie rock.” |

| “Charlie Burg is a product of his micro-generation…[his] crystalline countertenor adopts the inflections of Ezra Koenig, Adam Levine and several other and soft rock singers who hit their strides in the mid and late aughts.” |
 “Sonic gold” |

| Brooklyn-based, Metro Detroit-raised alt-R&B wunderkind Charlie Burg makes his return with “Before We Step Inside,” out now via AWAL. The single marks Burg’s first new release following his 2022 debut album Infinitely Tall. “Before We Step Inside” is a glimpse into where his sonic identity heads next as an artist – Stream. Playing out like an intimate conversation, propelled forward by guardedly optimistic guitar licks and a slow, shimmery groove, “Before We Step Inside” began its life as a forgotten voice memo that Charlie stumbled upon again in early summer days. Realizing the tune deserved some sunlight, he posted a snippet to TikTok and it took off. Fans and other artist contemporaries flooded Charlie’s comments begging for the release of the song, even posting their own covers online from all around the globe. A rose-tinted view of the impending end of a relationship, the song makes the most of every moment before coming to a sudden, hollow end. On the release, Charlie elaborates, “’Before We Step Inside’ details the story of two individuals grappling with existential dread right before entering a party and then promptly dancing away their misery. The song is intended to juxtapose crippling despair with the euphoria of celebration.” |
