Speaking to the motivation behind Too Real, Charlie Bowdery shares:
“Everyone can relate to wanting something so badly, and being so close to achieving it, but having to deal with constant setbacks, knock-backs and the stress, anxiety and self doubt that go with that. But all the time having a deep rooted self belief and conviction that you can and are going to achieve it. “Can’t wait for the day I tell my Momma I made it”. Ultimately this song is for everyone out there with a dream, so f*ck the haters, you will do it. “positive vibes cause it is what you make it.”
Paying homage to his peers, this genre defying artist is destined for big things. Too Real is produced by OGKAY and was released on the 4th of July and is taken off of Charlie’s album Clockwork – which is available to stream and download on all platforms.
“Of all the musicians based in Cornwall, Charlie is the most likely to cross over to major success with his mix of hip hop, R&B, grime and electronic pop” – Boardmasters Festival.
