Words by Tom Mughal Despite looking like a Victorian cad, there's nothing old-fashioned about King Charles. His trendy calypso guitar lines are reminiscent of Vampire Weekend coupled with his Jack Sparrow-esque look makes for a charming style. A style that's put to perfectly good use in the new single from his upcoming album, both titled 'LoveBlood.' A short song, only just going over 2 and a half minutes, 'LoveBlood' is unbelievably catchy. You'll find yourself chanting "I've got love in my blood.." for days on end. [...]
Quem acompanha o blog já sabe da história do King Charles , mas como história boa (ou ruim nesse caso) a gente adora repetir, vamos abrir uma excessão aqui. King Charles é esse cara aí de cima, todo excêntrico que nem no desenho mesmo, que chegou a lançar no começo de 2010 um single ( "Love Lust" ) que nos cativou logo de cara. Ele chegou a assinar um contrato, mas por força do destino acabou se envolvendo em um acidente quase fatal, que quase acabou com sua carreira. Sorte é que mais da metade do disco já estava [...]
Today see's a return to yet another old favourite. Maybe there's something inherent in nostalgia that's somewhat secure and comforting, or perhaps it just so happens that there's a string of upcoming releases that we've been eagerly anticipating for a while now, probably the latter. Truth be told I'm not even sure if 2010 can qualify as nostalgic, that's when we first featured King Charles, with his cover of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire" appearing in our Songs Of 2010 . Either way the good news is that his debut album "LoveBlood" is set for release on [...]
![KING CHARLES' MISSISSIPPI ISABEL [8.1]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4035241_lg.jpg)
Love Lust - King Charles // Buy Mississippi Isabel is just refreshing. It's sunny without jumping into a fuzzy, beach-y vibe, and it's poppy without feeling like it belongs on top 40 radio. The songs will get under your skin and into your head quickly, meaning you may have to work extra hard to hide your glee on public transit this winter - because who wants to be seen smiling in public? In the confines of your own private dwelling, though, I dare you to not break out your most embarrassing [...]

Who is this hipster Louis XIV look-alike you ask? King Charles is an English "glam folk" musician. He's a classically trained vocalist and plays piano, guitar and cello. In 2010, Charles won the International Songwriting Competition (the first Brit to do so) unanimously. He has toured alongside all the English folk stars - Laura Marling, Noah and the Whale and Mumford and Sons. King Charles - "Ivory Road" King Charles - "Love Lust" — Basil
Just like Lawrence Tierney's character, Joe Cabot, in the final scene in Reservoir Dogs, we fear that there's a danger of regret as soon as we upload this post. Once that 'publish' button is clicked we're committed to our article and to be honest for the first time in nearly four years of posting, we're going ahead when we're not 100% sure about the band. The reason is that with today's recommendation there's a mixed feeling in Camp Recommender. On the one hand, this band have a striking brilliance that hooks you early on, but once you inspect [...]
Other Voices is more than a television series; in a way, it is a project that was born out of a need to showcase the diversity present within modern music, within Ireland, and ultimately, within the world. What makes it particularly special is that it has taken place every December since 2003, in the small church of St. James' to an audience of 80 people, in the only village on the Dingle Peninsula, Co. Kerry, and is then broadcast earlier the following year on Ireland's national broadcaster RTE (this year presented by actor Aidan Gillen of [...]

Conhecemos o King Charles , em Maio do ano passado com sua estonteante "Love Lust" , mas de lá pra cá ele sofreu uma experiência de "quase-morte", em um acidente sem muitos detalhes, onde felizmente seu irmão conseguiu salvá-lo. Mas mesmo depois de quase dois anos de recuperação, King Charles finalizou seu disco (quase todo dentro do seu quarto) que será lançado pela Universal em Fevereiro, e cujo primeiro single acaba de ser divulgado. E "Bam Bam" é exatamente sobre deixar o passado para trás e viver cada momento intensamente, visto que o tom melancólico e [...]
So we've made it to December... no more fall, no more November. We're about to be waist deep in mittens, holiday music on repeat, coke-cola polar bears and hopefully some J-mo spiked cider. To kick off this season-o-spiked-cider, we've got a jolly mix of tunes that will keep you warm until you finally bite the bullet and buy a winter coat after you lost your last one boozin too hard last February (or maybe that's just me.) <<<Download the Kick Kick Snare December Mixtape Here>>> Happy Holidays KickKickSnarers! We can't wait to [...]
This should have been done many moons ago but such is blog. The fact is King Charles played a gig in Exeter a few weeks ago and it was one of the most fun gigs I have ever been to. Last time I saw this guy play he was engulfed in smoke, light and the screams of girls standing on top of a drum kit at a festival. I was impressed. This time around in the more modest setting of Exeter's Cavern Club , things [...]

Let's take a second to admire that perfectly shaped mustache. The body of this pictured man is a British artist, King Charles. Don't let his physical appearance fool you or let it because his music is beyond fascinating. Last year, he released an album with a single "Love Lust" and according to my iTunes, it [...]
Let's take a second to admire that perfectly shaped mustache. The body of this pictured man is a British artist, King Charles . Don't let his physical appearance fool you or let it because his music is beyond fascinating. Last year, he released an album with a single "Love Lust" and according to my iTunes, it is still a "Top 25 Most Played" track. Get your dose of it below.

I came across a hidden gem back in August 2010 from a guy named King Charles, and since then I haven't really kept up with anything he's released. "Love Lust" was always a go-to of mine, no matter what scenario I was in; and that hasn't really changed. Just today I saw his name floating around the blogosphere again, this time with his new single "Ivory Road". His voice remains oddly captivating. [via Pigeons and Planes] Tweet
Let's head over to Europe for some King Charles . A while ago, we wrote about the UK artist and since then, he's not changed much-still hairy, and still a believer in love. Beyond the obvious, his is not an easy style to wrap your head around. At its core, "Ivory Road" is a love song. It's also a pop/folk song, but while the lyrics have a dainty quality to them, the music itself is a theatrical mix of old and new world sounds. King Charles - Ivory Road by [...]

she keeps me warm in the cold night air If this isn't one of the most fun song/video combos of the year then I don't know what is. It's been a while since King Charles fantastic "Love Lust" and the man has clearly been up to good things. Sit back and bask in the man's irresistible charm and the song's bouncy good times. Then buy it at iTunes on Nov 7th. I just hope he hurries up with a full album. In the meantime I'll be seeing him in London on Thursday. Sweeeeeetness. King Charles - [...]
I'm sure many of you have heard of King Charles before, but he is pretty new on my radar. Having released an EP in 2009, he then had a near fatal accident nine months later after he was invited to support Mumford and Sons on their US tour. Signed by Universal Republic in the States after winning Nashville's International songwriting contest, he returned home to finish his debut album. The as-yet-untitled longplayer is slated for release in Feb 2012 via Island Records. The lead single 'Bam Bam', although unashamedly pop, has some catchy twists to it. It's one of those [...]
