Album overview
The Insomnia Club is early work that captures Charlotte developing her voice as a songwriter and recording artist. The songs explore a wider and less tightly connected range of themes, including early adolescence, identity, emotional growth, relationships and self-expression.
In the context of this portfolio, the album is useful because it shows the starting point from which Charlotte’s current work has developed. Skills in lyric writing, vocal delivery, recording, arrangement and project presentation have been honed further through the making of Family Business.
The album should therefore be understood as supporting evidence of progression rather than the main focus of the submission. Charlotte’s latest work, Family Business, is the central project for assessment and demonstrates a clearer concept, stronger thematic connection and more developed professional process.
Role in the portfolio
- Earlier public release showing first-stage songwriting and recording practice
- Evidence of progression toward the more focused Family Business project
- Useful comparison point for development in theme, structure, collaboration and presentation
- Not the central submission project; included to show creative growth over time
Track listening
The tracks are embedded individually so listeners can sample the album without leaving the portfolio. Short written notes may be added later, but the page’s main purpose is to document this earlier release and show progression toward Family Business.
