“Threading together rock, pop, soul, and country, Charlie Rae provides a picture perfect tale of beautiful confidence, finding the strings that tie us all together. Connecting with a wide range of listeners, “Without You,” demonstrated Rae’s defined voice and striking range, as it displays her depth and unique airiness, making her appear both vulnerable and strong. When you think you have a feel for an artist, Rae never ceases to amaze her audience; soaring into an upper register with a slight country twang that is truly memorable and remarkable. The melodic gift of her voice falls against the backdrop of constant ear candy instrumentals that just force you into captivation: The warmth of the acoustic guitars keep the song flowing as electric notes cut through the mix and violins carry you through each transition. Charlie Rae is an electric, raw talent, who’s nothing short of bold and deeply felt, a rebel-with-a-cause. Rae is your classic artist of lore.”

The footage, captured on a cell phone, is distant, dark, and grainy, but in just over two minutes, Rae managed to win over Reddit, which has 35 million unique visitors a month. The aptly titled video, "Beautiful Musician on Sidewalk in Downtown San Diego,” uploaded June 13, quickly reached the site’s front page and has been viewed nearly 400,000 times to date."

“Things are always changing, you know?” he says later as he navigates Tijuana’s bustling streets, trying hard to put the motivation behind his analog-photography obsession into a few simple words. “Everything is just a moment in history and then it’s gone…. I’m making it stand still.””
