Austin's own Charli Lark has dropped her latest electro-pop offering, 'Gold Edge Tongue', a track that sizzles with raw energy and hard-won wisdom. Released on March 7th, 2025, it marks her first foray into the new year and builds on the momentum of her previous single, 'Burn It Down'.
Both tracks were born during a productive trip to the UK in March 2024, a creative burst that seems to have fuelled Lark's artistic fire. 'Gold Edge Tongue' explores the murky territory of manipulation, a subject Lark tackles with unflinching honesty. The song isn't just a lament; it's a defiant anthem of empowerment, a transformation of pain into a weapon of self-discovery.
Behind the track's driving beat and shimmering synths lies a story co-written by Charlotte Harrington and Michael Keefe, with production handled by Flourish. It's a track that explores the power needed to overcome the grip of manipulation, transforming pain into power and freedom.
Growing up in Louisiana with a deep-seated passion for music, she embarked on her musical career after a life-altering divorce, a period she refers to as the beginning of her 'Second Life'.
Through a blend of spirituality and songwriting, Lark has peeled back layers of past hurt, uncovering a strength she didn't know she possessed. Her debut single, 'Amnesia', released in 2023, marked the start of this transformative journey. With seven songs now under her belt, 'Gold Edge Tongue' stands as a testament to her growth and resilience, a bold declaration of independence from the shadows of manipulation.
