There is an unending elegance and beauty in Charlotte Dos Santos’ music. Beyond the undeniable authenticity that permeates each track, her music feels connected to the world in a very genuine sense. Connected to her own stories, the stories of others, nature, and the world around her. It’s as if each track works off a fundamental sonic frequency of the environment. And it’s not like Dos Santos is playing within the confines of a single environment. A self-described nomad, Dos Santos draws inspiration from every part of her journey. Valencia to Berlin, Boston to Oslo, there is a piece of her history in every track.
This week, we’re featuring her 2021 single “Patience”. A meditative, trance-inducing track that bursts with a plethora of bright sonic colors. If the harmony is like a field of wildflowers blooms in slow motion, Dos Santos’ ethereal vocals are the golden sunbeams bursting through clouds. A plaintive harp and luxurious strings serve as the perfect setting for the complex vocal harmonies and lifting melodies, and a hip, almost 90’s inspired beat drives the track forward with perfectly complementary energy.
