Charlton IV is the solo project of Loïc, a French singer-songwriter crafting bilingual pop with deep roots and a restless musical curiosity.
After building a catalog of 5 collections between 2002 and 2013 — spanning intimate acoustic folk, French chanson, and lo-fi indie pop — he returned in 2025 with his most refined work yet: new tracks that fuse classic organic songwriting with electronic textures and jazzy harmonics, while keeping melody firmly at the center.
His sound lives in the space between immediacy and depth: warm acoustic guitars, layered arrangements, and lyrics drawn from real life, travel, and the emotional residue of books and films. Somewhere between the melodic generosity of Teenage Fanclub and Josh Rouse, the bilingual eclecticism of Phoenix, and the restless genre-blurring of Beck and Gorillaz — with the occasional New Order pulse underneath and a Wilco-like commitment to craft holding it all together.
What to expect:
• Bilingual songwriting (English & French)
• Genre range: folk-pop, indie, electronic-tinged pop, occasional Latin and Brazilian flavors
• Mood: introspective, melodic, cinematic
Now actively releasing and open to collaborations.
