Charlotte Cardin Big Boy

We don't typically feature jazz vocalists, but there's something about Charlotte Cardin's new single that captivated me on first listen.

If you were to ask me what makes this song stand out from the genre that influences it, it's the infusion of subtle modern instrumentation: that bass drum; the border-line trap percussion that flutters in and out; and of course, Charlotte's beautiful voice.

The Quebec-based singer is currently signed to Cult Nation, the same agency that represents Iris (an artist we recently covered). She's gearing up for the release of an EP in Autumn, so keep posted for more down the line. Oh, and if you're in Montreal, you'll be able to catch her on July 4th and 5th at Jazz Festival.
