Common Saints Releases New Single "FIREBIRD"
London-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Charlie J Perry, known as Common Saints, is thrilled to release his brand-new single, “Firebird”, available now on DSPs. This marks his first new material since the release of his acclaimed debut album, Cinema 3000, in November 2024.
“Firebird” is a magnetic fusion of psychedelic guitar riffs and soulful grooves, underscored by Perry’s signature warm, cinematic production. Lyrically, the track carries a sharp political message. Speaking about the single, Charlie said:
“Firebird is all about NOT listening to the lies that politicians talk every time they try to get you on their side, only to change their views and actions when they gain power. Actions speak louder than words. The chorus is encouraging us to find a way to turn around the mess greedy people leave in the wake of their selfish desires.”
Listen to “Firebird” HEREProducer, composer, and songwriter Charlie Perry has spent the past decade behind the scenes - boosting careers with projects like Jorja Smith’s breakthrough EP Project 11, collaborations with Olivia Dean, Maverick Sabre, Lola Young, and writing/producing “Singularity” for BTS.
Driven by his early passion for performance, Perry has now stepped into the spotlight as Common Saints. His sound - rich, cinematic, and marked by lush reverb and unconventional structures - draws on a decade of pivotal experiences. As he puts it, “Everything I do has been leading to this sound.”
His debut album, Cinema 3000, encapsulates this vision. A record as vast and ambitious as its title suggests, Cinema 3000 encapsulates the hallmarks of Perry’s solo project—warm, luscious musicality, filmic sensibilities, and a grounded sense of spirituality and hope. Across 14 tracks, Perry cements himself not just as a behind-the-scenes producer but a true artist in his own right.
