The return of one of the greatest voices.

Charlotte's new sound is experimental, deep, but catchy. She showcases her voice beautifully, while experimenting with different, vivid sounds that you don't find in most other artists music right now. It's not music made for the sake of acquiring her next big radio hit but more like creating music that both entertains and appeals to peoples deeper conscience. In an era where independent artists are beginning to reign supreme, she shows an uncanny ability to evolve with the times as an artist, as well as a singer and song writer. This new effort is a far cry from her mainstream pop album Tissues & Issues which garnered her a bucket full of hit singles, album sales, and attention. And again, a far cry from her extremely stripped down follow up album "Back To Scratch". One & Two falls somewhere in a vein between the two, off to the side, and then up a little. It's different, but it should appeal to music snobs, and mainstream music lovers at the same time. Personally, I find myself obsessed with "The Mistress". It's strange, and a little creepy. My only complaints with that track is that it's too short and I would actually kind of like to hear the vocal without the vocoder. I get why it's short, and I think I understand why she opted to use the vocoder, because I suppose it's supposed to sort of be like the conscience of the mistress, and said mistresses logic etc...Much like the Nerve song is supposed to be that afterthought or moment right when a conflict or some sort of trauma ends. Now I'm just rambling, just buy the album, or the two EP's and enjoy. I'm sure you'll love it!
