Rising folk singer-songwriter Charlotte Morris has recently released the third single, “As Is,” from her highly anticipated album titled Both Sides.
The Philadelphia-based artist perfectly paints what it means to love and be loved unconditionally in this song. As they follow Morris’s heartfelt lyrics, listeners are taken through a deep musical journey, with the occasional humor, in search of this feeling, alongside her. Her passionate writing can be heard in these reflective lyrics, as she sings, “I can promise / My heart and my time / My soul and my mind… If you love me as is.” Yet, make no mistake. While Morris bares herself emotionally naked to her words, she still finds a way to playfully parallel this with a soft and airy acoustic melody, led by Pat McGrath on guitar. Additionally, her light-hearted references to Diet Coke, not liking to fold clothes, and not being a “morning person” allow her bright personality to shine through, even on a sentimentally heavy track.
“‘As Is’ is about embracing our flaws and finding someone who loves us just as we are. It’s not about the grand gestures; it’s about simple acts of compromise—the beauty in everyday gestures of love.” – Charlotte Morris
“As Is” asks us to bask in the sunshine of vulnerability. This single is both a tear-jerker and the warm hug that comes after, rolled into one, as listeners relate with its universal themes of empathy, acceptance, and sensitivity in love. Though this doesn’t come by surprise, as Charlotte has been utilizing her lyricism superpower to create nostalgic, empowering, and authentic folk songs since the age of 12. Morris completed a 30-city international tour in 2024, bringing her mesmerizing talent to the big stage. Embrace love and open up your heart to Charlotte’s newest single “As Is,” out now on all major streaming platforms.
