Folk-rock singer-songwriter Charlie Harris has returned with what may be his most soul-baring release yet. His new single, “Give Me Love”, is a poignant and unflinching account of an alcoholic’s struggle to change, framed as a desperate plea for compassion and acceptance. It’s a track that digs into the despair of addiction while still holding onto the fragile possibility of redemption, carried by Charlie’s distinctive blend of acoustic intimacy and rock-driven edge.
The song’s aching lyrics and evocative melodies cut straight to the heart, making “Give Me Love” not only a touching story but also a call for connection. As Charlie himself explains, the track is about hitting rock bottom but refusing to abandon the belief that love can transform even the most broken moments into something hopeful.
Born and raised in Johannesburg, Charlie picked up his first guitar at 13 thanks to his uncle’s influence, and soon after began shaping his craft. His path has taken him from experimenting with bands such as Hemisphere and Radio Unfriendly to forming Keep Guessing Charlie with longtime friends. Along the way, he’s released two albums—Digital Dust (Side A) and Digital Dust (Side B)—and developed a loyal following that resonates with his raw, human approach to music.
Now with “Give Me Love”, Charlie continues to write songs that feel lived-in and truthful, each one driven by his mantra of never giving up. This new release has already made a splash: it’s secured a place on the station’s coveted A-List Playlist and, as a testament to its emotional power, will also run as a special POWERPLAY at 2:30 PM for the next month, ensuring listeners hear it day and night.
