It has arguably been a few moments too long since we last touched base on Charlotte Adigéry’s artistic progress here on the blog. Indeed, we first wrote a few words about her potential back in 2018 and were fortunate enough to witness a couple of her captivating live shows right here in Paris, just before the global shift forced us all to stay at home for much of 2020. Today, the consistently brilliant Charlotte Adigéry is finally back with brand new material in the form of “Bear With Me (and I’ll stand bare before you)”. This poignant new track serves as a deep reflection on the collective experience of the past year, delving into the vulnerability and isolation we all went through, with a specific focus on the unique challenges faced by recording and touring artists who saw their livelihoods and creative processes transformed overnight.
Listen to “Bear With Me…” by Charlotte Adigéry:
Bolis [Pupul, Adigéry’s partner] and I view ourselves primarily as storytellers, dedicated to crafting observational tales that reflect the bizarre and often surreal world we all inhabit. This song specifically explores the intense experience of being physically confined, a state that inevitably forces us to be confronted with the fundamental ways in which we live and interact. We were struck by the cruel irony of our situation; we have the immense privilege of standing still, questioning our choices, and observing our lives from a place of absolute safety. Meanwhile, across the globe, so many others are caught in a desperate struggle, literally fighting for their lives and their health. In this sense, Bolis and I are essentially building a musical time capsule, writing songs that tell the complex, multifaceted story of life in 2020. We firmly believe that 2020 has served as a definitive cornerstone for the 21st century, marking a permanent shift in the global collective consciousness.
Charlotte Adigéry says of the new single to The Line Of Best Fit.
