On July 16, Charli Adams released her debut album Bullseye, and it’s available now on all streaming platforms. The album taps into Adams’ personal life, drawing on her past experiences to create a lyrical narrative that takes you along for the ride. She stated that “Bullseye tells the story of this massive awakening I had in 2020, after realizing I had spent my entire life desperately trying to please other people at my own expense.”
The album traverses the complicated aspects of Adams’ life. She said that the album is “about my toxic relationships with men, my parents, God, myself and ways I’ve looked for freedom from it all through therapy and also more self-destructive coping mechanisms.”
Adams gets extremely personal in her tracks, even stating that the “album is essentially my journal throughout one of the hardest and most healing periods of my life.” The album was written in a time when Adams was leaving her hometown in Alabama, hoping to find her true self and kickstart her music career in Nashville. She went on to say that she “never really imagined I would feel liberated enough to share these stories so openly when the people and problems I’m addressing still exist in my life every day.
