J Mahon has shared new single ‘Charly (Romantic Heart)’.
The Australian songwriter is now based in Berlin, and previously released music as Emerson Snowe. Stripping things back to his real name, J Mahon has found release through honesty, with debut album ‘Everything Has Life’ featuring some special moments.
Take new song ‘Charly (Romantic Heart)’. Penned for a friend, the song emerged from a period in J Mahon’s life when he spent around six to eight hours a day sanding wood underneath a Upcycle work shop.
Long days soundtracked by Pavement and Paul McCartney, those aspects shine through on a track defined by melody, and a willingness to step outside the norm.
He comments…
“Charly was written for my friend Charly in 2021. It’s loosely based around her and also my own feelings of when you begin a new relationship sometimes you can get so blinded by this new feeling that you can’t see the reality of the situations around it; thinking that you need to find another person to be with, when most of the time maybe it’s better to be on your own.”
Tune in now.
J Mahon will release debut album ‘Everything Has Life’ on September 8th.
