Berlin-based Charity Children have shared their latest single ‘My Alchemy’, taken from their forthcoming LP Almost Young, out October 8th via Charity Children Records.

Powered by a pulsing bass line and spicy guitar lines, the song touches on the rawness of love and its not so glorious aspect. The sensual vocals of Chloë Lewer add the cherry on top to an already brilliant composed tune that kicks with sheer attitude. This is an excellent track that has us craving the new album.

Touching on the album, Chloë Lewer said:

“Our fable would forever feel unfinished if we didn’t build up the strength, do the work, face our demons and lovingly go through this process together. Elliott and I had already been through so many hard times together and we needed a reason to celebrate life, our previous relationship and our newfound friendship.

We re-banded because we sincerely enjoy making music and videos together. Our friendship had found a solid base and we thought we were ready to collaborate again. In many ways, making this album was a kind of therapy for us. Despite what you might think, this ‘comeback’ record is about our troubles in and out of other relationships, our advice to friends that we wish we could give ourselves and the grief of losing someone very special – the album is dedicated to Elliott’s mother.”

Elliott McKee mentioned:

“The album is also dedicated to my Mum who was killed in a boat accident in 2017. That broke me and I was left with a previously unexperienced anguish that I didn’t know what to do with. After singing ‘Fare Thee Well’, an old ‘Charity Children’ song, at her funeral I realised that another ‘Charity Children’ album could be a meaningful way to explore the tribulations I was feeling and also a tangible way to remember the most important person in my life. Although ‘Emerald City’ is the only track that directly references my Mum’s death – her passing forced me to confront many difficult elements in my life. Although each song is dedicated to someone different in our lives – vehicles with which we give life advice – this is the sort of life advice that is given to others, but more directed to ourselves.”
