Looking for an explosive track to soundtrack your glow-up?
Charlotte OC’s latest single, “Cider and Black,” is so cinematic and packed with attitude, it practically begs to be on a James Bond soundtrack.
The track delivers a soulful punch—smoldering brass, sweeping strings, and delicate keys set the scene—but it’s Charlotte OC’s edgy, powerhouse vocals that steal the spotlight. Every lyric sounds ripped from the pages of a personal heartbreak, delivered with raw, undeniable intensity.
There’s an emotional urgency pulsing through the track that’s impossible to ignore.
Oh, and that chorus? Dangerously catchy—made for belting into your mirror while applying red lipstick and bold mascara. (If you don’t wear makeup, disregard—but at least pretend you're in a music video. Same effect.)
Lyrics like “Bang bang goes the drummer. I’ll be gone by summer… Now I’m knocking it down like Cider and Black” capture the apathetic kind of ‘done’ that comes when you're so over a relationship, you’d do anything to numb the pain.
It’s a striking performance—so bold and commanding, it leaves you with just one reaction: “Well then…”
For new listeners, this track might just leave them speechless—but for longtime fans of Charlotte OC, “Cider and Black” is yet another killer release that solidifies her status as a seasoned pro.
