Charlotte Boin Uncovers Sensational New Track “the night is long”
Charlotte Boin’s brand-new release, “the night is long,” is a surprisingly upbeat exploration of feeling like the odd one out. While most would expect a moody track to match the discomfort of social anxiety, Charlotte flips the script with lively pop and R&B beats that get you moving even as her lyrics tell a story of emotional disconnect. Inspired by a night when she felt out of place at a party, Charlotte’s lyrics, like “How can the night be so long, how can I be feeling so low,” channel the weight of trying to keep up appearances when you’re anything but comfortable.
This isn’t your typical anthem for introverts. Charlotte embraces the contrast between energetic rhythms and personal revelations, making her track equally suited for introspective listening and the dancefloor. With its bilingual verses weaving between English and French, “the night is long” has a certain flair that sets it apart, giving listeners a taste of Charlotte’s identity and cultural background. Her soulful voice is laced with a hint of defiance as she describes her experience with feeling “not French enough” or just plain out of place, adding a relatable vulnerability to the song’s catchy chorus.
Self-produced from start to finish, “the night is long” feels like an artist’s true expression—unfiltered and authentic. Charlotte’s choice to handle every aspect of production brings a raw, DIY edge to the polished sound, letting us feel the emotional layers she poured into each note. With this single, Charlotte Boin is not just making music; she’s creating a space where feeling uncomfortable or “not enough” is acknowledged, even celebrated. It’s a strong statement from an artist who isn’t afraid to mix honesty with a killer beat, making her a voice to watch in today’s pop and R&B scenes.
North London’s 4t9 isn’t just stepping into the UK rap scene – he’s kicking the door wide open with his debut single, “Freedom”. Blending hard-hitting drill beats with motivational lyricism, 4t9’s arrival feels bold, intentional, and impossible to ignore. While drill music often leans on themes of street life and bravado, “Freedom” carves out its own lane, focusing on self-belief, focus, and determination.
From the opening bars, 4t9’s delivery is sharp and direct. His tone carries a hunger that feels authentic, as he weaves between gritty observations and personal affirmations. The hook – “It’s been about freedom, it’s been about racks” – becomes a powerful mantra, embodying 4t9’s belief in chasing success on his own terms. There’s no reliance on empty bravado here; instead, 4t9 taps into the mindset of someone who’s faced challenges but refuses to let them define his path.
His verses showcase a knack for clever wordplay. Lines like “In Paris riding the metro / I’ve been wavy from the get-go / I still compete and I get gold / That’s the 9 on me like Crespo” highlight his ability to blend cultural references with sharp storytelling. He paints pictures of grind and grit, but it’s always laced with a forward-thinking attitude.
The track’s production matches this energy, with a brooding instrumental that balances dark, rolling basslines with crisp percussion. It’s the kind of beat that demands attention, creating the perfect backdrop for 4t9’s powerful delivery. Meanwhile, the track’s structure keeps momentum high, with the hook acting as a grounding point that ties the themes together.
Adding to the track’s impact is its visually striking music video, directed by ODXC. The visuals mirror the song’s intensity, capturing 4t9’s commanding presence as he delivers each bar with conviction. The sleek visuals, combined with the track’s unrelenting energy, make “Freedom” feel like a real statement piece.
With this debut release, 4t9 shows he’s not here to follow trends – he’s here to create his own lane. His blend of raw authenticity, sharp lyricism, and motivational energy makes this debut impossible to overlook. If “Freedom” is just the starting point, there’s no telling how far 4t9’s ambition will take him.
