A MUSICIAN from Coggeshall has released his second single of the summer and it has gone down a treat with fans.

Singer-songwriter Charlie Baker, who appeared on the BBC’s Project Icon earlier this year, released his latest summer anthem, Romeo, on Friday.

The track brings a taste of 2000s R&B which the artist says is “lacking within the scene at the moment”.

The positive summer energy with the sounds of Latin guitar and beach references in the lyrics makes it the perfect time to release the song ahead of next week’s expected heatwave.

The artist said: “This song allows me to show off my vocals in various ways as for the most part I'm singing yet the second verse has a singing and rap section as featured in many noughties songs.

“This song brings a new 'swaggy' feel to my music.”

Charlie is making waves in the music industry, securing two spins on the popular reality TV show Love Island, a casting in Project Icon alongside singers Jason Derulo and Becky Hill and radio DJ Jordan North, and almost 70,000 streams on Spotify.

He told his social media followers he started working on his latest upbeat track last summer.
