Eclectic singer-songwriter Charlotte Wessels has unveiled a new single, "The Crying Room", alongside a gripping music video featuring footage from the song's first-ever live performance. "The Crying Room" is the next harbinger of Wessels' first traditional full-length, full-band solo album, The Obsession, due on 20 September through Napalm Records.

The track unveils another touching facet of this sonic masterpiece, where themes like fear, obsessive thoughts and escapism run rampant on the one hand,  whereas there are also songs that offer a more upbeat approach to the subject. "The Crying Room" deals with that fear, while a weeping guitar solo draws the listener into darker soundscapes.

Charlotte Wessels on "The Crying Room": "When we were gearing up for the very first performance under my own name after Covid, my tour manager asked if I wanted my own dressing  room. Knowing full well that I'd be an anxious mess, I told her I didn't need a private room - just somewhere I could have a well-earned meltdown without ruining everyone's vibe. And that, my friends, is how 'The Crying Room' was born. It's a song about the fear of failure, about needing to catch your breath before diving headfirst into something new. Everyone loves to tell stories about courage and heroism, but let's be real: I want to hear more stories about people who are absolutely terrified... and do the thing anyway - it's a central theme on the  album, and 'The Crying Room' is an invitation to do just that".
