Charlie Jeer - Everything Is Temporary (EP) + 10 Questions

Charlie Jeer Closes Out a Defining Year with Debut EP Everything Is Temporary.

After an incredible breakout year, 22 year old Kent born multi-instrumentalist Charlie Jeer rounds things off with the release of his debut EP Everything Is Temporary.

Since emerging in 2023 with his mesmerising debut single Her Eyes, Jeer has racked up over 90 million streams and built a devoted following drawn to his hypnotic blend of sax led melodies, smooth vocals and deep, emotive production. From performing with RUZE at MixMag Lab London to earning praise from Calvin Harris, Black Coffee and Jamie Jones, Jeer’s rise has been nothing short of meteoric.

The eight track project including fan favourites Sun Is Gone, Nobody and Her Eyes offers a deeper glimpse into Jeer’s sonic world. Rich with texture, sax flourishes and a sense of bittersweet nostalgia, Everything Is Temporary reflects on love, friendship and the fleeting moments that shape us. Opening with the silky tones of Mona Lisa and flowing through to the euphoric I Found Love, the EP feels like a journey through the highs and lows of young adulthood.

Speaking on the release, Jeer says: “This project is a collection of my memories turned into songs. Writing from personal experience has been therapeutic, it’s about navigating relationships, friendships and life. Pairing instrumental freedom with intentional lyrics lets me say exactly what I mean through my saxophone.”

Working closely with long time collaborator Ben Stancombe, Jeer has crafted a sound that feels distinctly his own, one that bridges classical training with club energy and raw emotional honesty.

Already championed by outlets including COLORS, GQ South Africa, KISS Dance and Spotify UK, and featured across playlists such as New Music Friday UK and Lowkey, Charlie Jeer is fast becoming one of the UK’s most exciting new artists.

With Everything Is Temporary, he does not just close a chapter, he cements his place as a force redefining the sound of contemporary electronic music.

Charlie Jeer sat down with Wordplay Magazine to answer our infamous 10 Questions:

1. So tell me, how did it all begin? What sparked your love for music?

Music started for me at 11 years old when all I wanted to do was play the saxophone. I think this love was sparked by the sound of the saxophone being so similar to that of the human voice but without words, it speaks to you in a way that doesn’t need language and this made me fall in love with it.

2. Who are some artists that influence you and that you want to work with in the future?

I love the jazz house influence of Berlioz, and am a big fan of the sultry sounds of Sade. I also love the sounds of house music from the likes of Fredagain.

3. What projects do you have coming up and can you give us any info on them?

I have my debut ep “everything is temporary” coming out on the 5th of December which I’m really excited about. The ep contains a range of songs which have all been written at very distinct periods of the last year and a half of my life. I called it everything is temporary because of how much my life changed in the time spent writing the ep and a realisation that nothing in life lasts forever so you have to make the most of moments and one way which I do this is by capturing them into songs.

4. How would you describe your sound?

I would say my sound sits in the jazz house world, although I do like slower music and have a slower song on the ep. Most importantly I would say that all the music is very considered and each note is places with intention and feeling.

5. What's your proudest moment to date so far as an artist?

My proudest moments are when people come up to me on the street and tell me that they have connected with the music. I think as an artist you put a part of yourself into everything you create and to have that be felt by someone else is a feeling of being seen that no other medium can give you.

6. Do you have any advice for our readers who may be trying to play the mad game of music?

I think that’s when you make the music you love to listen to you are on to something. I never want to compromise my love of the music I create and that’s something I would encourage others to do too.

7. Are there any artists on your radar right now that we should check out?

It’s a rogue one but if you like instrumental music I would definitely recommend listening to an artist called “loop garden” - I often listen to them when I feel I need an introspective instrumental escape.

8. What albums are on heavy rotation on your Spotify playlist currently?

I’m not the biggest album listener to be honest but one album I do love (along with the rest of the world) is Olivia Deans new album - having been a listener to her for years it’s great to see her get the recognition she deserves.

9. What do you like to do when you're not making music?

When I’m not making music I like to live an exciting life, I try to pick actions based on making stories I’ll remember forever so I definitely am not averse to living a bit on the edge. But aside from that I spend time with my family and 4 siblings.

10. Name Three things you can't live without when in the studio?

My saxophone, a Diet Coke, and some good vibes.
