Freeload: Charles Hamilton, “Barbara Walters”

story THE FADER

This may or may not be the first single from Charles Hamilton’s upcoming official debut The Perfect Life, releasing (according to his blog) on June 23rd. Now normally, that would’ve put him in contention for the summer music issue, but we just gave him a cover, so yea, that’s probably not going to happen. On “Barbara Walters” young Charles goes on record about some things we talked about when we interviewed him—things that made us sad at first but then better knowing that he was getting ready to release an album on Interscope. Hamilton’s dependable introspection aside, he still packs a punch, rattling off lines like I’m a lost traveler, but the best bar battler/Charles, bar for bar, Attica.
