CHARLIE HOUSTON - “SLUT FOR EXCEL”
LABEL : ARTS & CRAFTS


Evoking the playful pop-funk production of the Talking Heads classic "Once In A Lifetime", Houston analyzes her life to date against the achievements of her family in the groovy indie pop single, "Slut For Excel". "I have three older siblings. Two are lawyers and one is a consultant. And I am a struggling musician. I always catch myself comparing my life and choices to that of my brother and sisters. I think comparison is a universal struggle. Maybe life would be easier if I was just a slut for excel," reflects Houston.

‘All this time I'm thinking about everything but right now,’ Houston sings in the chorus, her mind wandering. Feeling like ‘a witness’ or ‘an NPC’ in her own life. The single arrives with an official video courtesy of The Reggies, the director duo behind videos for bbno$ and Dillon Francis.

“Slut For Excel” and previous single "Pink Cheetah Print Slip" follow Houston's two critically acclaimed EPs (2022's Bad Posture and 2021's I Hate Spring), millions of global streams, the nod of approval from tastemakers like Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, SPIN Magazine, and Rolling Stone, a Spotify billboard in New York's Times Square, and a Grammy Award-nomination via ODESZA’s The Long Goodbye. Houston was recently selected as one of four participants in the Allan Slaight JUNO Master Class.
