Be Charlotte is no stranger to success. Having signed to Columbia records, she has become extremely popular and very well loved within the Scottish scene and beyond. She has a very unique sound which is prominent in all of her songs, including her new single ‘Do Not Disturb’. Be Charlotte has previously won the awards for ‘Best Electronic’ at the Scottish Alternative Music Awards and also ‘Big Apple’ at the Scottish Music Awards, so it is no surprise that her latest single is already very much loved by her fans.
The record starts out solely with a soft piano melody and then the listener is introduced to Be Charlotte’s strong female vocals which kicks in shortly after. Be Charlotte has a lovely, soft voice that is intertwined with a strong Dundonian accent, making it very unique to say the least. Her style slightly reminds the listener of artists like Lily Allen, where the lyrics are properly pronounced and are very clear, which sounds good on top of the synth beat that starts before the first chorus. Be Charlotte has a voice that is instantly recognisable which helps to set her apart from other female Scottish artists.
‘Do Not Disturb’ perfectly mixes meaningful lyrics with an upbeat pop melody, which in return, has created an extremely catchy and relatable tune. The chorus displays the lyrics “Do not disturb, I’m still hurt” which makes the listener think the song is about emotions, possibly needing to deal with feelings that are very raw and strong. The rest of the lyrics tell the story that being sad is okay, and that it takes time to open up but that you should force yourself to carry on and come out the other side stronger. ‘Do Not Disturb’ carries some very deep lyrics but Be Charlotte has combined them perfectly with a synth beat to make the song sound optimistic and happy.
Before the last verse starts, the track benefits from a few moments of a sole synth beat. This allows the listener to truly appreciate the pop sound that is ‘Do Not Disturb’. Backing vocals are then introduced, which adds a whole other dimension to the song before the last chorus begins and the track comes to an effective sudden end.
