Praise for 'You Don’t Even Know Me Anymore':
“The onetime garage-pop upstart is now making unabashed pop music, pulling out skittering programmed drums and echoey, effect-laden vocals within the song’s first minute. (It did seem inevitable after their previous pop-rock masterwork, Young Enough.) Eva Hendricks’s lyrics, though — always the primary draw of a Charly Bliss song — are still sharp as ever.”
Vulture, The Best Songs of 2023 (So Far)
"Charly Bliss specializes in pop-rock that’s both anthemic and lived-in, and new single ‘You Don’t Even Know Me Anymore’ progresses the point of view of 2019’s excellent Young Enough without sacrificing any of that tension."
Billboard
"The New York pop band enter a more playful era."
Rolling Stone
"Eva Hendricks’ inimitable voice still hits the same pleasure centers it did four years ago."
The FADER
"It’s a moving, buoyant slice of pop perfection emphasized by bandleader Eva Hendricks’ eclipsing, swing vocals."

New York’s Charly Bliss release 'I Need A New Boyfriend,' an effervescent new single that arrives with a hysterical video directed by the band’s Dan Shure.
“I think the best breakup songs are celebratory. Thankfully, decades of dating the wrong people has prepared me to write the emo, palm-muted breakup song of my dreams,” explains Eva Hendricks. “I was in Australia when Dan had the idea for this video, so we had to create a fictional Bliss Bar where we could all be together for Speed Dating Night. I bought the entire clay aisle of our local craft store and had a lot of fun creating a miniature version of the set that we could all be green screened into. Dan is the world's best director and editor and did an incredible job pulling everything together. Please contact CB Worldwide if you believe you may be entitled to a new boyfriend.”
Bringing part of the music video to life the band have also created the Bliss Finder website, generating fun alternative dating profiles to assist fans in the search for a “new boyfriend”.
'I Need A New Boyfriend' follows the release of 'You Don’t Even Know Me Anymore,' released earlier this year to wide critical praise including coverage from Consequence, DIY, Dork, The FADER, The Forty-Five, The Line of Best Fit, Nylon, NPR, Pitchfork, SPIN, Stereogum and more.
Charly Bliss is Eva Hendricks, Sam Hendricks, Spencer Fox and Dan Shure.
