On Wednesday August 28, 2024, Charlotte Jacobs (she/her), the Belgian-born, New Yorkbased vocalist, composer, and producer announces her debut album a t l a s (Out October 25, 2024) via New Amsterdam Records. Jacobs’ music has been called “fresh and different… a sonic adventure” (Bob Boilen, All Songs Considered) and her voice has been praised as “a singer-songwriter’s dream” (Atwood Magazine). The 9 songs on a t l a s play out like a half-remembered Greek epic of avant-pop proportions, piecing together earthy woodwinds, old-school synths, and shifting rhythmic patterns that enhance her mythinspired spoken word and bilingual vocals, delivered in Dutch and English.

Throughout a t l a s Jacobs explores themes of mythology, religion, and cultural structures while empowering listeners to “become their own saviors in order to navigate the challenges in life.” Lead singles ‘Mala’ and ‘CYTMH’ veer from glossy hi-fi to scuzzy lo-fi at any moment as earthy woodwinds, old-school synths, and shifting rhythmic patterns enhance Jacobs’ myth-inspired spoken word and bilingual vocals, delivered in Dutch and English.
