Биография

Siblings Jendayi & Gyasi Bonds have been making music together for more than a decade. Pair Jendayi’s songwriting, with Gyasi’s drumming and you get a vibrant sound that NPR Music describes as “...an infectious Brit-flavored indie-pop confection, carried by clean sharp percussion, crystal clear vocals, and infectious lyrics." Charlie Belle hit the industry with a bang with their breezy debut EP, Get To Know. The Guardian stated that the songs “...make melodic indie-pop feel like a viable option for the first time in eons.” Later that year, Charlie Belle released their second EP, I Don’t Want To Be Alone, which Billboard noted, “Jendayi’s velvety vocals sound quite comfy in the headphones.” AfroPunk admitted being “high key obsessed” with the remix of the ultra-groovy track, You Don’t Know Me, calling it “lyrically and structurally brilliant.” The EP Like I Love This followed, which Born Music noted is, “Brilliantly unique, and further hints at Charlie Belle’s musical maturity that’s been expanding ever since their 2015 debut” and Atwood Magazine doting they “craft a vibrant 'alterna-pop' sound that blends meaningful lyrics with infectious melodies.” Charlie Belle, as Wired says, “is armed with the most infectious kind of power-pop." With accolades like this and the talent to back it up, the band sits patiently at the cornerstone of a seasoned two-piece who also seem to just be getting started. AfroPunk has said it best, “this is definitely a band you want to know.”
