Concert Review: Charles Fauna Give Life Through “Eulogy” In NYC

The most ironic thing about saying “Hello” to someone is that you, inadvertently, sign up to say goodbye to them. From Death Cab For Cutie to Neil Frances, everybody seemed to be dropping music about how people come and go into your life. Charles Fauna’s debut, Eulogy, was no exception, but his Baby’s All Right Show was all about welcoming him into your music sphere. 

What I find cool about Charles Fauna is that he presents his music as if it is “party central,” when, in truth, the tracks are more “chillaxed” and pensive. Yet, more and more music is rising to throw people “off” on how they define party jams or “high energy”. From Jhene Aiko to Frank Ocean, so many artists have hits that make your mind race in vision rather than velocity. For Fauna, his rhythms massage your brain with hints of tropical oils and sandalwood synths to get the “mind juices”/ dreams going. Thus, on record, he feels like a wave-pool of sound, but, in performance, he becomes a tsunami. Still, he had motive; this was, inarguably, one of the most memorable nights of Charles Fauna’s life. 

Not only, did Charles Fauna own the crowd, but, from that night forward, he could say he owned a piece of music created, licensed, and performed by him. His excitement was surreal; looking and thanking everyone as if it was the first time he met humanity. You could laugh, but if you invest in a moment, it becomes a memory for you and everyone around you. Fauna moved his body and voice as if he was passing out gift-bags of wisdom; inside notes and emotions on how to invest in an instance by saying no to fears, responsibilities, and norms. Hence, “Wait to Come Over,” “Another Good Person” and “Something Human” SPEAK to this generation burdened by debts and downward dreams, but REFUSING to let such things turn their life into “occasionally” fun. If Charles Fauna teaches you anything, it is how to go for your dreams.

Finally, my readers know that I have the tendency to compare artist’s voices to random things, and Charles Fauna’s voice felt like cocoa butter; there is something aromatic, natural, and accessibly soothing about his presence and voice. He truly wants to be connected, and in that he becomes like cocoa butter: raw, pure, and easily placed in your “travel playlist.” For More Information On Charles Fauna Click Here.
