If you’ve ever sat with the sting of realising a relationship's worth a little too late, Charcom’s latest single “TOO LATE TO LOVE YOU” will hit you right in the chest. The NYC-based artist blends emotional honesty with late-night electronic textures, creating a track that’s equal parts vulnerable and vibey. It’s one of those songs that plays like the soundtrack to a lonely walk home after the party ends – where every synth pulse feels like a heartbeat and every lyric feels like a thought you haven’t quite said out loud.


From the very first note, Charcom sets the mood with a looping synth that slowly unfolds into a full-bodied, cinematic soundscape. The production is clean but textured, balancing stripped-back piano chords with layered delay effects that add just the right amount of drama. When the drop arrives, it doesn’t explode so much as exhale – a powerful moment that lets the emotion take centre stage without going over the top. This is where Charcom’s restraint really shines. He’s not trying to overwhelm you. He’s letting the weight of the song settle in, giving space for listeners to feel.


Lyrically, “TOO LATE TO LOVE YOU” feels like reading through unsent messages or replaying memories you can’t quite shake. Lines like “Is it too late to save you from breaking my heart” and “Lies just leave me lonelier with time” paint a clear picture of someone wrestling with loss and responsibility. Charcom doesn’t lean into melodrama. Instead, he delivers his words with a calm sadness that makes them all the more impactful. There’s a sense of reflection here – someone coming to terms with their role in a love that slipped through their fingers.



What’s really impressive is how Charcom manages to make such a deeply personal song feel so universally relatable. He taps into that feeling of helplessness that comes when you realise timing really is everything. And yet, despite the heavy subject matter, the song still feels like something you could dance to in your room at 2am, processing everything you’re feeling through movement.


As a teaser for his upcoming EP, “TOO LATE TO LOVE YOU” shows Charcom stepping confidently into his own lane. With a background from NYU’s Clive Davis Institute and a knack for merging genres like house, hip-hop and pop, it’s clear he’s not afraid to get personal with his sound. This track is a great reminder that electronic music doesn't have to sacrifice emotion for energy. It can hold both. And Charcom proves that beautifully.


If you're into artists like James Blake, Fred again.. or SG Lewis, this one should definitely be on your radar. “TOO LATE TO LOVE YOU” is more than just a song about heartbreak. It's a moment of clarity, wrapped in melody and movement, asking the question we’ve all wondered at some point – is it too late?
