‘XTREME CIRCUMSTANCES’ is written and produced by charlieeeee and completes the charlieeeee’s world trilogy, following their first two singles, ‘EASY’ featuring piri and ‘BUMPED IN THE HEAD’ featuring Ellie Dixon. It’s charlieeeee’s first solo release and taps into more sensitive territory, exploring themes of losing loved ones and running away from your problems. The vulnerability in the lyrics is mirrored in the track’s raw production, experimenting with live breakbeats and drums, and forgoing the conventional pop song structure for a more rhapsodic composition. It feels like a natural conclusion to the trilogy, retaining the relentless energy and hyper-pop fusion of the first two tracks, only this time the energy feels more cathartic and emotionally-charged; screaming and dancing your heart out to process your feelings.

The single is accompanied by a new video to complete the trilogy, directed by Lilly Shickle and executive-produced by charlieeeee. The video for ‘EASY’ saw charlieeeee crash-land to Earth and find love, then ‘BUMPED IN THE HEAD’ followed charlieeeee as they explored Earth and found their community. Now, ‘XTREME CIRCUMSTANCES’ sees charlieeeee discover their love of music and live performance, while grappling with the feeling that they should return to their home planet and address the problems they’ve been evading. The video features footage from charlieeeee’s recent Beyblade tournament, which is becoming a tradition among their community of fans, friends and collaborators. It concludes with the first glimpse of the charlieeeee’s world Minecraft server, which will launch this Summer as an innovative digital space for live performances, collaboration and creativity.

The style of charlieeeee’s music defies easy categorisation, but blends elements of indie with the relentless energy of jungle breakbeats, all seasoned with an infectious, hyper-pop-inspired top line. Their sound is delightfully playful, which translates seamlessly into wild, high-energy live performances.

‘BUMPED IN THE HEAD’ is charlieeeee’s second single, and features Ellie Dixon. Speaking about the track, charlieeeee says: “The song is about not fitting in, and having that pounding voice in your head that says ‘you’re not quite doing it right!’ I want people to remember, ‘this time, it might be different!’ You will find your people and you will have the fun you are craving. The aim of the song is to bring a lighthearted side to what can feel like quite a serious world, in or outside your head.”

The single is accompanied by a new video, directed by Lilly Shickle and executive-produced by charlieeeee. The video is the second instalment of the charlieeeee’s world trilogy, following ‘EASY’ featuring piri, which saw charlieeeee crash-land to earth, and develop a blossoming romance with a blow-up doll, Meredith. In ‘BUMPED IN THE HEAD’, charlieeeee and Meredith continue their exploration of the human world, familiarising themselves with everyday earthly pleasures, like dance battles and cake fights.
