Big Boy - EP

Montreal's Charlotte Cardin weaves her voice through mesmeric electro-jazz on her breakout EP. She's sexy, and sultry—even saucy—throughout, as she toys with vocal and lyrical dynamics. On "Like It Doesn't Hurt," she's deep and unrestrained on the lead, but gently recedes into the background for rapper Husser's verse—a surprise amidst the sleek and minimalist arrangements. Later she provides a nod in the direction of Amy Winehouse, dipping into bluesy regret while singing, "I will wash off all the dirty, dirty thoughts I had about you."
