Winnipeg-based artist Charlie Boom, born Charles Gillen, is back with a powerful new single, “Want You,” featuring the talented Ioanna. Slated for release on August 30th, this track is a deep dive into the emotional complexities of a relationship that, despite the strong desire between both parties, ultimately succumbs to its ups and downs.
Charlie Boom‘s musical journey began during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, though his roots in music run much deeper. Raised in a household filled with the sounds of rap and R&B, with influences like Jay-Z, T-Pain, Tupac, and Miguel, Charlie’s sound reflects a unique blend of street R&B and rap. This duality in his music has earned him comparisons to Sleepy Hollow and Vory, positioning him as a versatile and dynamic artist in the music scene.
“Want You” draws inspiration from Charlie‘s personal experiences, particularly a past relationship that left a significant impact on him. He describes the track as one that resonates with anyone who has ever wanted someone deeply, yet realized that desire alone couldn’t sustain the relationship. It’s a song that’s meant to be felt, not just heard, especially during those reflective late-night moments with a glass of wine.
Charlie Boom’s passion for music stems from his love of creation and the exhilarating feeling of performing live. His proudest moment so far has been the opportunity to perform in front of large crowds and his long-awaited collaboration with Ioanna, an artist he’s admired for years. “Want You” is more than just a single; it’s a testament to his resilience and dedication, having pushed through a challenging year to finally bring this project to life.
As Charlie Boom continues to work on new projects, he remains focused on his ultimate goal: to perform in front of thousands and solidify his place in the music industry. For now, “Want You” is his gift to fans, a deeply personal track that showcases just how much he’s invested in his music.
