Alt-pop firebrand Charlotte Sands has unleashed her blistering new single “neckdeep,” marking a bold evolution in her signature bratty hyperpop-meets-alt-rock sound. The track arrives as the Nashville-born, LA-based artist crisscrosses America on the idobi Radio Summer School Tour, fresh off the success of her 2024 breakout album can we start over?.
“neckdeep” delivers a cathartic explosion of distorted guitars and anthemic hooks, channeling the desperation of fading relationships into what Sands describes as “the chaos of existing between helplessness and revenge.” The track follows June’s fiery “HUSH,” further cementing Sands’ transition into a grittier, more confrontational sonic palette while retaining the emotional vulnerability that’s earned her 300+ million streams as a fully independent artist.
From Underground Sensation to Alt-Pop Powerhouse
Since her 2018 debut, the blue-haired auteur has defied expectations – sharing stages with My Chemical Romance and YUNGBLUD, winning a Heavy Music Award, and designing every aspect of her bold aesthetic from merch to makeup. Now, as she prepares for festival appearances including November’s Vans Warped Tour dates, “neckdeep” proves Sands isn’t just riding the brat rock wave – she’s steering it into uncharted waters.
The single is available now on all platforms, with tour dates running through August before Sands heads to Warped Tour this fall. For an artist who’s built her career on radical honesty, “neckdeep” might be her most visceral truth yet – a snarling, glitter-drenched middle finger to being taken for granted.
