Charlie Lim Essentials

Singapore native Charlie Lim is a savant of neo-soul smoothness. With remarkable vocal talents capable of soaring from a low whisper to a heart-breaking, powerful falsetto, the rising star matches his range to a gamut of genres, including a track for the Southeast Asian Games. Whether it's José González-style finger-picked folk magic, chaotic post-rock climaxes or an arresting piano meditation reminiscent of late-era Radiohead, Lim blends it all with his vastly varied singing. What genre he chooses next is anyone's guess, but it's sure to be imbued with his powerhouse voice.
