Charly Bliss are releasing their new album FOREVER this Friday, 16 August, which is perfectly timed for summer. Ahead of that they’ve shared one final teaser single and video called “Back There Now”, with vocalist Eva Hendricks saying:
“One of the craziest things about getting older is growing away from the things you did when you were young(er) and stupid(er). But then I’ll read something or hear a song that takes me right back to the dramatic insanity of my early twenties love life, and I’m forced to acknowledge the freaky glutton for pain and heartache who’s still somewhere inside of me no matter how deeply I’ve buried her.”
The song is a thick slice of power pop delight that is full of eye-rolling joy at the memories of Hendricks’ younger and dumber life. She amps up the drama of those days in the chorus and then admits “you couldn’t pay me to go back there now” in a sugar-coated shout-along chorus. It’s already a blockbuster, but Charly Bliss add a rousing cheerleader breakdown to underline the emphatic feelings of the track.
Watch the video for “Back There Now” below or find the song on streamers.
Charly Bliss’ new album FOREVER arrives on 16 August through Lucky Number (pre-order/save). You can find the band on Facebook, TikTok, Twitter and Instagram.
