With his likeable nature, playful attitude and personality shining through every song, listeners find themselves drawn to his aura, forming an instant bond and connection.
Speaking on the project Charlie Noiir says; “I really wanted this project to speak to who I was as an artist whilst creating it. I didn’t want to just zero in on one aspect of my artistry and I was very deliberate in how I approached every record. I believe one of my gifts is my ability to write to anything, any style of music but the challenge in that was creating something that sounded seamless. Something that from start to finish made absolute sense but when listened to individually, record by record, still left their own distinct impression. It was difficult yet fulfilling to push myself in so many directions but I’m glad I took on the challenge as my growth as an artist is evident throughout this body work.
I’ve been going back and forth with the idea of dropping the project earlier in the year or later but with the support received from the previous singles and seeing how well BESIDE ME is doing, and with everyone back outside in full summer mode, it just made sense.
It’s been a long time coming and I’m just so excited for people to hear the music. I’ve got so much more music on the horizon, this is just the tip of the iceberg but the perfect introduction into what I’m all about. I’m a heart on my sleeve type person. I keep a very tight knit circle of people I trust with my life. I rarely let these things off in real life so it’s been cathartic putting all these moments and emotions into this project. Hence the title, ON MY SLEEVE. My hope is by the end of the project you can see my vision and where I’m going with this music.” – Charlie Noir
