It\u2019s like, you\u2019re OK again, but also, OK, I\u2019m really going to go through this whole thing again?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole EP is focused on relationships, which is different to what I\u2019ve done before. A lot of my other songs I take from different parts of my life, but these are about the arc from one relationship ending to another one beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"op-interactive\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3X8hQPPIipP1KbYV4ENqVd?utm_source=generator\" width=\"400\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<div class=\"observer-sub-form justify-content-center my-3 p-0 d-flex align-items-stretch bg-dark text-white\">\n<div class=\"observer-sub-form-info p-3\" style=\"justify-content: start;\">\n<h2 class=\"h5 mb-0 observer-title\">Love Music?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"observer-desc mb-2\"> Get your daily dose of everything happening in Australian\/New Zealand music and globally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spinner d-none\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Co-written with Matt Hastings and Val Hoyt, \u201chow i feel?\u201d completes the relationship cycle, Pittman says, as it \u201cends up where we started at death row but in a different scenario where I\u2019m the one in limbo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pittman reunited with friend, music director, and photographer Jack Craig, and director and cinematographer Jordan Ruyi Blanch, to shoot the accompanying music video in Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p>Shooting on 16mm film allowed the trio to step back, embrace imperfections and enjoy the process, which Craig says matched the emotion of the track.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew we wanted the video to stay tasteful and open to interpretation. Rather than telling the story literally, we leaned into the emotions \u2013 uncertainty, distance, and exploration,\u201d he shares.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPlacing Charlie in obscure, unfamiliar locations allowed the video to become less about narrative and more about emotion \u2014 an ambiguity that felt honest to the song. Charlie\u2019s honesty and vulnerability set the tone for everything we created\u2026 As the final visual instalment of <em>okay.again?<\/em>, this felt like the perfect way to close out the chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"op-interactive\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Charlie Pittman - how i feel?

The self-taught musician previously released a string of independent singles, before dropping his debut EP, <em>nothing is forever<\/em>, in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe more specific you can be with your lyrics, the more relatable it can be. I think being more vulnerable, more open with yourself is going to bring people in more. That\u2019s the only way I really know how to write, being super honest \u2014 to my detriment of exposing myself and putting myself fully out there. That\u2019s always kind of what I\u2019ve done and I find it really hard to lie in my songs,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Pittman is taking his new EP on the road with his band, supported by Pretty Bleak, Effie Isobel, byjae, Sam McGovern, Repeater, and Eliane.<\/p>\n<p><em>Charlie Pittman\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/charliepittman.lnk.to\/okayagainEP?utm_source=dotmailer&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=804799_Charlie%20Pittman%20Sophomore%20EP%20okay.again%3F%20out%20today%20%2B%20shares%20new%20single%20how%20i%20feel%3F%20%2B%20okay.again%3F%20Australian%20tour%20starts%20tomorrow_306599_AU&amp;dm_i=6KKN,H8ZJ,4TYWJH,2UB24,1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">okay.again?<\/a> EP is out now.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Charlie Pittman 2025 Australian Tour Dates<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Saturday, September 20th<\/strong><br \/>The Workers Club, Melbourne VIC<br \/><em>with specials guests Pretty Bleak &amp; Effie Isobel<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sunday, September 21st<\/strong><br \/>The Vanguard, Sydney NSW<br \/><em>with special guests byjae, Sam McGovern<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Thursday, September 25th<\/strong><br \/>Lefty\u2019s Music Hall, Brisbane QLD<br \/><em>with special guests Pretty Bleak, Repeater<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Saturday, September 27th<\/strong><br \/>Milk Bar, Perth WA<br \/><em>with special guests Sam McGovern, Eliane<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,document,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');fbq('init','243859349395737');fbq('track','PageView');fbq.disablePushState=true;<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source au.rollingstone.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlie Pittman has a knack for making heartbreak sound cinematic.
