– Midwest Book Review
AUSTIN, TX (June 23, 2023) – Earlier today, “Milo Wears A Tutu,” the second single from Charlie Faye & The Fanimals‘ self-titled family album, Charlie Faye & The Fanimals, was released. Huffington Post praised Charlie Faye as hearkening back “to Motown, Spector, and the Brill Building.” In keeping with the ‘60s-tinged soul/pop sounds for which Faye is acclaimed.
“Milo Wears A Tutu” is set to a playful backbeat reminiscent of a Temptations record. The song tells the story of one cheerful kid bucking convention and wearing what he wants to. “The thing that’s cool about this record is that it has a throwback sound, but the themes of the songs are very modern, “says Charlie Faye. “You wouldn’t have a Motown song in the ’60s about a little boy who wears a tutu. But now you do.

.In 2019, Charlie Faye became a mother, and soon after, with the onset of the pandemic, the world became a different place. Faye wasn’t performing with her group, Charlie Faye & The Fayettes, on stages like Austin’s Continental Club anymore – she was home with a baby. Fast forward through what was a slow year for all of us, and Faye had become a single mother of a toddler. It was around that time that she was inspired to start writing music again, with her daughter in mind.
“As the parent of a toddler, I got to see firsthand what kind of music was out there for kids, and what kind of music my kid was drawn to,” says Faye. “There’s a lot of great stuff available, but so much of the music my daughter loves isn’t kids’ music at all – it’s music I’ve loved my whole life: old Motown hits, ‘60s soul and pop music … just songs with great grooves and great hooks.
”Charlie Faye began her music career as a side person, singing and playing guitar and mandolin in Dan Zanes & Friends. Her best-known project to date, and most recent, was Charlie Faye & The Fayettes, which garnered high praise from media, earned Faye a publishing deal with Rough Trade, and got her songs placed in shows like Riverdale and Girlboss.
Charlie Faye and The Fanimals’ new single, “Milo Wears a Tutu,” is now available globally at major digital service providers.
