South African Singer-Songwriter Charlie Harris Releases New Single “Catching Rainbows” from Digital Dust (Side B)

South African folk-rock artist Charlie Harris, known as the singer-songwriter of the duo Keep Guessing, has released his latest single, “Catching Rainbows,” a standout track from his debut album Digital Dust (Side B). Following the success of Side A’s haunting first single, “Charlie No Face,” Side B dives deeper into Harris’s world of lyrical storytelling, introspective themes, and a search for meaning within life’s most fleeting moments.

“Produced by Robin Walsh, ‘Catching Rainbows” captures Harris’s poetic sensibility, exploring the allure of chasing dreams and embracing life’s unexpected twists. With a gentle, rhythmic melody, the song unfolds like a personal journal, conveying the bittersweet moments of growth and self-discovery. Harris’s earthy vocals are laced with both nostalgia and hope, grounding the song’s message in a place of authenticity that listeners have come to love from him. “The song is about feeling that if I could just pass on some happiness I would. Metaphorically speaking catching rainbows and passing it on to you! Inspired by me wanting to make those close to me as happy as possible”

Hailing from Johannesburg, Harris has carved his path as a songwriter through stories that resonate on both personal and universal levels. He first gained attention with Digital Dust (Side A), featuring “Charlie No Face,” inspired by the story of Raymond Robinson, a man who became a local legend after a disfiguring accident. With Side B, Harris continues to bring forth songs that were almost lost to time but now find life in his carefully crafted debut project.

Reflecting on the theme of Digital Dust, Harris explains, “This album is like a collection of memories, fragments that might have faded away if not for this record. ‘Catching Rainbows’ is one of those pieces—it’s about grasping for something intangible, something that might not last but is worth the chase.”

Listeners can find “Catching Rainbows” and Digital Dust (Side B) on all major streaming platforms On 15 November 2024.
