Charles Edison – “June In February”

Sometimes an album comes along that feels exactly like what you need without knowing you need it. Charles Edison’s “June In February” is one of those rare records that wraps around you like a favorite sweater on a rainy day.

The London-based artist has crafted something genuinely special here. This record marks the end of a personal trilogy for Charles, moving away from the heavy themes of his previous work into something hopeful and bright. You can feel the shift immediately. Where his earlier albums dealt with addiction and regret, “June In February” celebrates being present and grateful.

The production work here is top-notch, thanks to British hip-hop legend Chemo handling the mix and master. Every track feels polished but never loses its soul. Charles’ conversational rap style makes you feel like you’re sitting with an old friend who happens to be incredibly talented at turning life stories into music.

“Florence” stands out as the album’s emotional center, dealing with the loss of his grandmother with surprising joy rather than sadness. And to be honest with you guys, “No Love Lost” is my favorite one, “No Love Lost” brings pure confidence and swagger, showing Charles isn’t here to please everyone, just to make real and honest music.
