Charlotte Day Wilson

Charlotte Day Wilson’s voice is powerful. Not powerful with a bunch of superficial adjectives - but outright sonic power. This is a voice that, if she wanted, could level cities and clear clouds from the sky. But she doesn’t (always), and instead uses her incredible voice in service of her own songs. A truly gifted songwriter, Day Wilson’s lyrics are filled with vulnerable, intimate, and haunting moments. The rawness and tenderness of her lyrics are almost at odds with her dynamic vocals, it’s like watching a giant gently pet a kitten. But Day Wilson melds them perfectly along with her R&B, Gospel, and Soul influences. Be warned, when you listen to Charlotte Day Wilson’s music, you might want to hold on to something sturdy - because you will assuredly be floored by what you’re hearing.

A Toronto native, Day Wilson grew up studying classical piano before teaching herself how to record and produce. Her first album, 2021’s ALPHA, features a variety of collaborators including BADBADNOTGOOD on this weeks featured track “I Can Only Whisper”. BADBADNOTGOOD’s late night groovy vibes set a stunning scene for Day Wilson to ruminate on a lost love, and all the hurt and pain that comes with it.
