NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 22, 2022) – Genre-bending singer and songwriter, Charles Johnson, released a new single today titled, “Even If I Get Over You.” Co-written with Grammy-nominated songwriter, Jay Knowles, this is a tender, downhearted song about never being able to get over that person you thought you would end up with. Charles is creating authentic music straight from the heart and soul and is steadily establishing himself as a skillful songwriter. Listen to “Even If I Get Over You” here: https://lnk.to/CJEIIGOY
It’s like the only time I hear my favorite song,
It’s sung by a cover band.
It’s like the only time I see the sunrise
It’s on tv or in a photograph
“I wrote the song with Jay Knowles, who I’ve learned so much from. The song itself is melancholy, and for the longest time I couldn’t tell you who it was about. It wasn’t until I got sober a year and a half ago, that I realized it’s about me putting down the bottle for good. It’s an ode to alcohol itself and my struggle. I’ve found there’s a parallel to ‘ending your relationship’ with drinking and moving on from heartbreak and loss,” says Johnson.
Charles draws influences from artists of all styles as his new music was recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium where acclaimed artists like Jason Isbell, Kacey Musgraves and Willie Nelson have recorded. He recently released “Coyote” which has garnered tens of thousands of streams since its release in March.
“Nashville-based singer-songwriter Charles Johnson shares an autobiographical new track that melds elements of modern Americana, classic country and heartland rock. ‘Coyote’ finds Johnson digging into the pain and personal struggles that can emerge while trying to achieve your dreams in a difficult industry,” said Lorie Liebig of The Boot.
Both releases are part of an exciting, upcoming project. To stay up to date with Charles, please visit charlesjohnsonmusic.com
About Charles Johnson
Independent singer/songwriter, Charles Johnson, spent many years as a jack of all trades. From farmhand to bartender, he committed to earning a living to finance his dreams of becoming an artist. Despite these hardships, he has advanced to the next level of his career. Having grown up in Oakland, California, he garnered inspiration from artists such as Dave Matthews, Tom Petty, Counting Crows, Alanis Morisette, and Boys II Men in his formative years. The West and his cultural heritage play an important role within his musical creativity, with his Mother being born of Native American descent and also having spent much of his childhood on his grandfather’s reservation in Montana. His career began with the release of his first album, Everything I Know in 2015, followed by two EP’s; Cutbank in 2015 and The Ladder in 2019. He had begun to tour across the country and had plans to start a new musical project, but with the Covid 19 Pandemic, his efforts were brought to a screeching halt. Despite facing discouragement, he pressed on and emerged from the other side refreshed and reinvigorated, ready to share his new debut album, which he intends to release later this year. Preceding his album, he plans to release several singles, the first being “Coyote”, which was released in early March of this year and has already accumulated nearly 20 thousand streams. With this song, Charles recalls the struggle of finding one’s place in an industry that is unstable and unforgiving, yet persevering through it all. With his ability to express himself through different genres and styles, his music is still characterized by his honest expression, individual experiences, and vulnerability that reach people in a unique, relatable way.
