Charlie Burg comeback album ‘Back To Earth’ marks a soulful return
Charlie Burg is back. After three years away, the indie pop singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist returns with a new full-length album, ‘Back To Earth’.
The album signals a new phase in Burg’s career. Written during a hiatus in Paris and London, ‘Back To Earth’ trades the soaring ambition of his debut ‘Infinitely Tall’ for something more introspective. The 11-track record is raw, vulnerable, and deeply personal, exploring themes of identity, growth, and self-acceptance.
Burg produced the album himself. He leans into soulful and stripped-down arrangements while keeping his indie pop and alternative R&B roots. The focus track, “Lovesong 2,” highlights this shift with mellow instrumentation and tender vocals that sound as if they were meant for a private audience.
Charlie Burg first broke into the music scene in 2015 with ‘Blue Wave Mosaic’. His signature falsetto and genre-blending style set him apart early on. By 2022, his first full-length album, ‘Infinitely Tall’, co-produced with Mike Malchicoff, cemented his reputation for poetic songwriting and emotional depth.
Since then, Burg has earned over 300 million career streams and built a following of more than 365,000 fans online. He maintains 1.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, proof of his growing influence in alternative music. His performances have spanned sold-out headline shows around the world, with critics praising both his voice and artistry.
Southeast Asia has become Burg’s strongest audience. Fans in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand rank as his top three streaming markets, with Singapore and Malaysia also in the top ten. In 2023, he played some of the region’s biggest stages, from Jakarta’s Jazz Goes To Campus to Manila’s Samsung Hall and Singapore’s Esplanade Concert Hall.
With ‘Back To Earth’, Charlie Burg does more than return. He redefines his sound and embraces a bold, honest new chapter.
