Italian songwriter, CharlyLien knows all too well, the power of love, passion and companionship.
These are some of the themes she explores in her latest single “King’s Heart” on which she collaborates with singer Neil Darius and instrumentalist Artem lefimov
About the Artist.
CharlyLein, who’s real name is Dr. med. Charlotte (Adele Faverio) Reinke, is a 33 years-old artist who grew up in Como, Italy.
She started playing the violin and the piano when she was four and attended the school of music of Como up to the age of 18.
At 19 she moved to Berlin, Germany, to study medicine, setting aside her dream of becoming a professional classical musician.
As a medical student in Berlin, going out with my friends, Charly first discovered the amazing world of Electro and House Dance Music. What incredibly beautiful harmonies and energy!
She now lives in Munich, Germany, where she works as a child and adolescent psychiatrist.
“I am learning every day that music therapy shows a great healing effect on psychological diseases, just like music shows a healing effect on human sorrow in general,” she says.
“In Summer 2024 I eventually started producing my own music, so I have got a lot to learn! It all started on a sunny summer day, discovering the Garage Band App on my iPhone for the first time.”
On her inspiration, she credits “artists of all genre who let energy and passion flow in every single note of their songs, taking the listener away from reality to a world of incredible beauty and infinity.
As for her favourite songs and performances, she credits Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, the Beethoven Violin Kreutzer Sonata, Shiva by Luke Bergs, Dopamine by Purple Disco Machine, I´ll Take Care of You by Beth Hart / Joe Bonamassa, TragedieEnfantine by Romulus, Paralyzed by Lenny Kravitz, You Never Can Tell by Chuck Berry…
“In my musical style I am trying to let all these impressions flow into each other. I would say that now I am trying toproduce Electro music with some House, Rock and Classic elements in it.”
About King’s Heart
In Autumn 2024 I was sitting in my home in Como, Italy, visiting my father during my vacation. I’ve been a big fan of Fantasy, Disney and Marvel Movies / Books.
On this day the idea came to me of creating a song about a powerful king, wandering around in his castle and burning for love for his beautiful queen.
I wanted to create a song that emphasizes the power of love and passion, that is much more powerful than wealth and money.
So I created the song with the GarageBand App on my iPhone.
I then looked for two artists who would play the vocals, the guitar, the bass and the synth.
Artem lefimov did an incredible job in performing the guitar, the bass and the synth, playing something slightly different than the instrumentals I created, giving the song a deeper touch.
The aim was to create an instrumental that wasn’t identical with the royalty free music material of Garage Band, to make the song unique and original.
The solo singer Neil Darius (he wishes ti remain anonymous) has an incredible voice and many years of musical experience, he also added some elements to the melody I sent him. BMF Studios made an amazing mastering work.
So this song really is the result of a team of four artists living on different spots of this planet, and I am so grateful that they agreed to work with me on this project.
