Nuela Charles – Nuela Charles [LP]

On her newly released self-titled album, singer Nuela Charles‘ inner sparkle is unleashed in her music and it’s a beautiful thing to behold. This empowering pop-soul set is an homage to the power of persaverance, resilience, and self-love with a message that should resonate with anyone who’s ever felt less than enough. Nuela‘s voice is tender yet powerful as she sings about the pain of feeling left behind and the joys of finding her own well of strength and love.

The album opens with “Alive“, a song about reaffirming your own worth after feeling like you’ve been beat down by life. Charles taps into a powerful place, where she can both comfort and encourage herself and others to push through their struggles on this rousing rock-soul number. On “Worthy“, Nuela‘s vulnerability is nearly palpable as she sings about the struggles of being in a relationship with someone who isn’t above gaslighting her in an effort to keep a bad relationship on life support. However, our heroine bravely faces the fact that sometimes you have to let a relationship dissolve and fade away for the sake of your own sanity. The song is a magical anthem with Nuela singing “If I want it gotta know I’m worthy/Worthy to be somebody/Somebody to be loved“, over an infectious groove that will have you singing along in no time flat.

Other standout numbers on the album include the brightly lit and upbeat “Top of the World,” and an inspiring handclapper called “Heavy” that deals with the challenge of dredging through the dark times to get to the lighter side of life. The album closes with a sprawling pop-rock number called “Awakening” that features a soaring chorus, driving guitars, and a positive message about waking up and taking control of one’s life.

The album as a whole is an impressive showcase for Nuela Charles’ considerable songwriting skills, and it should be considered essential listening for anyone looking to get into one of today’s most promising singer/songwriters. Her voice is powerful, sweet, and expressive, and the songs are well-crafted, thought-provoking works of art. This is a great album for anyone looking for an introduction to her work, and it’s also a fun listen for fans who already know her music.
