Charlie Phllps shares new single “Little Red Light” | LP out 8/10

The track premiered on GroundSounds where the artist shared, “‘Little Red Light’ was written from a place of fear – a very physical fear of losing someone close to you; the fear of abduction. It was summer the summer of 2015 in New York City, and people were out in the streets protesting – protesting that fear of losing someone from senseless actions, protesting police brutality. I was at Electric Lady Studio studios on West 8th Street, home to Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, D’Angelo. I was sitting on the floor of the live room, listening to the silence of the room, listening for ghosts, and waiting on Phil Joly to finish up a mix in the other room. I sat for awhile at the feet of this old Fender-style Musicman tube amp – this little red light on the guitar amplifier kept blinking on and off at me – it looked like a UFO. It looked like a damn police siren.
