May 10, 2019It’s time well-spent: slow-burning, dynamic, emotionally resonant and representative of Charly Bliss in 2019.
-
May 30, 2019Young Enough is better than its predecessor in every way, and its predecessor is very good. Every song should be a gigantic sing-along single, each with its own level of catharsis. If more pop songs had Charly Bliss’s sense of craft, pop music would be in a much better place.
-
May 24, 2019Circling around Eva’s sharp, twangy vocals, the band’s second album is a gargantuan step forward, and one packed full of iron-clad mantras.
-
Q MagazineMay 14, 2019A record whose combination of chirpy choruses and sharp, dark lyricism is difficult to resist. [Jul 2019, p.106]
-
May 14, 2019Young Enough is a big pop influenced record that rings authentic and hits every mark both lyrically and musically--an album to dance the pain away.
-
May 13, 2019Building off a simple guitar note, the record’s slow-burning title track is perhaps the band’s greatest accomplishment yet.
-
May 10, 2019Ultimately, Young Enough outshines a promising debut, delivering a steady mix of summery earworms and angst.
-
May 10, 2019Young Enough is a pop album that just happens to rock.
-
May 10, 2019This is one of those rare records that sounds like a Greatest Hits compilation and simultaneously a summer mixtape while, by the time winter rolls around, we'll be digging deeper into the reflective, cracked mirror lyrics to provide us with a little familiar, melancholic comfort.
-
Jun 19, 2019There's also a strong pop influence, an element that can interfere with Young Enough's otherwise snappy sequencing—both Capacity and Chatroom incorporate an electro-pop bounce that, though competent, feel more suited for an entirely new project. Still, Hendricks' love-stricken admissions never go unnoticed.
-
May 10, 2019Young Enough is poppier than its predecessor but not always as immediately catchy. Sometimes that feels intentional and it can often be a good thing, often slowing down the band’s torpedo tunefulness to negotiate trauma in real time. It’s the mark of a band deepening the feelings of real personal struggle beneath the churning guitars and sheer melodies.
