A quick glance at Common Saints’ Spotify profile reveals an accomplished creative boasting millions of streams and thousands of dedicated listeners. Of course, they are just numbers. Yet, it reveals the degree of success the London-based producer and instrumentalist was able to achieve in the last few years. Constantly bathing in his signature psychedelic, dreamy and whimsical sonic universe, Charlie J Perry also carries a great deal of soulful, funk and R&B influences, making for an eclectic, quirky and truly personal result.
‘Firebird’ marks Common Saints’ return on the international scene, following up from last year’s album ‘Cinema 3000’. In it, the keen listener will rejoice, realising that the talented musician has indeed not lost his uniqueness and elegance. Steeped in heartwarming and shimmering tones, uplifting drum grooves and saturated guitars, ‘Firebird’ anticipates an upcoming headline show, taking place at Omeara, London, on May 14th.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Firebird’, Common Saints explains: “Firebird is all about NOT listening to the lies that politicians talk every time they try to get you on their side, only to change their views and actions when they gain power. Actions speak louder than words. The chorus is encouraging us to find a way to turn around the mess greedy people leave in the wake of their selfish desires.”
