CHARLOTTE WESSELS has released a brand new lyric video!
The Dutch singer-songwriter has unveiled Backup Plan, a haunting duet with Asger Mygind of VOLA, originally featured as a bonus track on select vinyl editions of her 2024 full-band debut The Obsession. Now, the track takes centre stage as part of The Obsession (Deluxe Edition), which is set to be released digitally this Friday, October 24th via Napalm Records.
Speaking about the new single, Charlotte Wessels says, “the new single, Backup Plan (feat. Asger Mygind/VOLA), is one of those songs that refused to let go. It started as an outtake from the original sessions, but something about it never felt complete, until we toured with VOLA and the missing piece revealed itself. Asger’s voice perfectly brought out the song’s contrast between beauty and darkness. The song presents a conversation between life and the quiet pull of the unknown, a duet with Death, presenting itself not as a villain but as a kind refuge. Working with Asger Mygind brought that concept fully to life; his performance captures the gentleness and gravity I always imagined. This version finally sounds the way it was always meant to.”
Asger Mygind adds, “I needed no time to consider my participation when Charlotte asked if I wanted to be a guest on Backup Plan. Her sound is immensely distinctive, adventurous and catchy, and I was thrilled diving into the colorful universe she evokes with her songwriting. It was definitely a challenging song to sing, but it was also great fun using my voice in a slightly different way than what I’m used to!”
