So... Charli first sang this when she was thirteen.  That's fifteen years ago.  She went off the song but was then persuaded back into liking it six or seven years ago.  Which is when we recorded what you have before you. We only recorded three complete songs in all that time. That'd be a session every four years or so - relating mainly to loss of confidence and the scars of her various ailments.  Up until sixteen she was completely fearless of course. The vocal recordings would consist of, at most, two forty minute sessions.  As was the case with this one.   She was pleased with it.  Least she said she was.    

POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL

A light-hearted ditty from about eight years ago. 

FUCK OFF (YOU'RE NOT WORTHY OF ME)

The third, and last of her surviving vocals.  Another one written when she was thirteen.  She had such a cracking voice so I'd write these songs for her, see what she'd like.  She wasn't so keen on this one and it stayed on the shelf for thirteen or so years.  Then I persuaded her to have another listen and we had one small session in late '23.
It then gathered dust until I was going through all her stuff after she died.  
From two takes there was just enough material for a viable track.  I'm not sure what she'd make of it but we love it.
At the cremation (no church for this girl) it was going to be played at the moment the fancy glass doors close on the coffin but the music set up they had couldn't read USBs properly so it went unplayed.  Which would have greatly amused her.  We spent a quarter of our allotted time trying to make the damn thing work.  After which the director guy there was in subdued panic mode cos the next family were going to be waiting to come in.  The glass door sequence was less than stately and before we knew it we were back out in the car park. 
The pub after was nice and communal though.
Next I'll move on to her Popewoman electronic outpourings.  Mostly coming from when she fifteen or so and establishing her foothold on Tumblr.
Thanks for reading/listening.


LET ME SHINE

So... Charli would've been 29 today, hence the upload.  She knocked this out when she was fifteen.  She'd got some reputation for her music on Tumblr and would get requests to do produce skeletal songs.  She'd retreat to her bedroom for a couple of days and then amaze me with this stuff.
The guy she did it for didn't like it and refused to pay her.  This is the backing track with the guy's (crap) song and vocal taken off. And believe me, you wouldn't know it was the same tune. Worth the admission.
