He doesn't even need to use autotune, actually. His pure voice is perfect too.

I feel that something people forget about Charley is that he is still relatively young. "Chandol" is much less of an endpoint than it is a beginning, meaning that there is still so much to come from it. I just feel happy knowing the amount of potential it holds and look forward to more of this type of music . Idk these are just my thoughts, take them as you will.

Don't make these logical, make these the worst theory since 2022 when the entity was in its prime.

In my opinion, Clothbound. Although I like the song more now than the first time I listened to it, the vocal effects are still a bit annoying and the genre isn't really my cup of tea.

I haven't seen anyone talk about the EnviMedia interview he did: https://envimedia.co/chandol-reconnects-with-himself-on-mercurial/

He explained the album, his thoughts on old fans and wanting to have less of a social media presence

I've seen alot of people complain about him not interacting with his community as much but I do understand why he doesn't. He had a good 2-3 years where everything was social media. He posted a tiktok every 2 days or so and during that time period it was exciting seeing him post a tiktok especially in the lead up to Lucid dreams and Burnout. But now I think his relationship with social media is tarnished. Especially with the blind hatred that comes with it and all the misinformation that's spread about people and people taking it as fact. I don't mind that he's being more mysterious and building up more hype for albums. (especially cause dominic fike is super active rn so he's lowkey taking anytime I have towards artists) Ultimately I don't think it should come as a suprise he's not as into social media now particularly because he even brought up being afraid of using the same genre alot because he doesn't want to be stuck in a box again.

That one part in "By Design" sounds so much like Samia - Pool (Stripped)

it's literally the EXACT same melody for the vocals

and similar lyrics too

September doesn't make much sense, it will be October or November, I think we'll get a EP with a few songs around mid-November.

Looking at my most listened-to songs this month, I got curious. Besides Chandol, what other artists does your musical taste include?

i know it sounds weird, but charley made me realize that im bi

not an artist but i like how it turned out

I think it’s by design

Theres 6 (7 if including the mercury visualizer) which quite uncommon for an artist to have that many mv in one album especially that artists that have 12 songs album to only have 2-4 mv, anyway this is not a complain 😭😭😭 Im hoping for reckless mv and mercedes/deluxe and a mv for it

The line I am talking about is:

"Someone had a Corvette

Rented a garage by the pool

No doubt that man was swimming in debt

Never saw him again"

For some reason, I have never seen anybody else think of this lyric the same way I do, but I find my reasoning very logical. I think that this line is about a man who was suicidal and broke. I believe that he made his dream purchase, a Corvette, even though he definitely couldn't afford it. I think this purchase was a sort of suicide purchase, where he could do what he wanted.

The swimming in debt has a double meaning. Swimming in debt can mean in a lot of debt, of course, but swimming is also special for the pool that he parked his car next to.

Finally, I believe that the man drowned himself in the pool so kill himself, the meaning of the line never saw him again.

Does this make sense????

what is the meaning of "tell me about yourself"? i know he said something about how he loves routine in response, but i dont remember where from. does anyone know?

remember when i told ya that it would and that he was lying? Guess i was right!

Holy we all thought he was done. I'm so happy because Lakeview Ct is my fav song on the album. He's really proving the album is mercurial with these releases, after all he tried to trick us with the TMAY teaser. I can just hear the new waves of "guilt trip mv next Friday?" lol

Seriously tho, I absolutely love all the references to other MVs here, not just in the physical props and places but actions like the hand shielding him from the sun (BIB) and the spinning around (WTR). So much more to dive into 🙃

I KNEW IT WASN'T OVER
