Paris Pick’s latest album, Third Time’s a Charm, is a sun-drenched, harmony-rich voyage that captures the golden hour of indie-pop with a polished yet deeply personal touch. This full-length LP fuses the shimmering textures of ‘70s yacht-rock with contemporary pop, producing a collection that is simultaneously reflective, playful, and effortlessly groovy.
From the opening notes of ‘Same Page’, Paris Pick’s velvety vocals glide over crisp, melodic guitars and subtle brass flourishes, establishing a soundscape that is beautifully nostalgic. Tracks like the effervescent title track and ‘Go Out and Give It All’ channel a buoyant optimism, while slower moments- ‘No Expectations’ and ‘You Should Know I Love You by Now’- reveal a tender, cinematic side to Pick’s songwriting, balancing introspection with warmth.
The standout single ‘Get My Baby Back (Extended)’ showcases her knack for blending humour and heart, building into a slow-burn anthem layered with inventive harmonies and a cinematic narrative that elevates the record beyond conventional pop structures.
Co-produced with longtime collaborator Jordy Walker and recorded across Whitehorse and the Yukon, the album benefits from a tight ensemble of musicians whose contributions- crunchy guitars, sky-bright synths, and muted trumpet accents- add both depth and texture. Pick’s meticulous layering of backing vocals and harmonies demonstrates her attention to arrangement, while her velvety voice anchors every track with an inviting sense of honesty and vulnerability.
Third Time’s a Charm is a celebration of resilience, reinvention, and emotional clarity. Paris Pick has crafted her most accomplished statement yet: a record that radiates joy, intimacy, and melodic sophistication.
