Charlie Collins – Just My Luck
Aaaaaaaand we’re back! The holidays were fine, but I like recommending great new music just as much. I hope you enjoyed the daily Song Snacks during my vacation, but as of today, I’ll pick up adding a few words of background info again…
Following Fuck It and Honey Can We Run Away (feat. Kasey Chambers), Just My Luck is Charlie Collins’ third single of the year. Knowing all three of them will appear on her as-yet-undated second album makes I’m very much looking forward to it.
Just My Luck is an up-tempo pop-rock track of less than two-and-a half minutes. Produced by Gab Strum (a.k.a. Japanese Wallpaper), it combines punchy drums, soaring guitars and subtle synths with Collins’ sweet pop-vocals. Lyrically, it started about how a stagnant relationship can still be preferable to loneliness. However, when her relationship dissolved during the writing process, it transitioned to a powerful evocation of acknowledging when something isn’t right, and the catharsis of discovering the strength required to overcome heartache.
