I&#8217;ve kind of known that in the back of my head for a while, but for some reason never thought to check out her music career until this year, likely when one of the music blogs posted the video for &#8220;Time of the Assassins&#8221; (see below). I&#8217;m very glad I finally got around to it.<\/p>\n<p><em>IRM<\/em> is a bit off the track from what I usually listen to, with unusual rhythms and melodies, yet even the tracks that I would consider quite outside my usual comfort zone (like the title track with its spare but almost overpowering percussive elements) somehow capture me and won&#8217;t let go. Tracks like &#8220;Time of the Assassins&#8221; had me instantly with the lush instrumentation and evocative melody. I can&#8217;t say all the songs connect with me totally, but throughout them all Charlotte&#8217;s voice is such a lovely combination of fragility and determination that it&#8217;s hard to turn your attention away from it. Much like Charlotte the actress in that way.<\/p>\n<div class=\"centered\"><object width=\"550\" height=\"334\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/-RSRmQ6WiUU?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p><OBJECT classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/fpdownload.macromedia.com\/get\/flashplayer\/current\/swflash.cab\" id=\"Player_35941068-c79f-4046-ae3b-412a6b764a5a\"  WIDTH=\"336px\" HEIGHT=\"280px\"> <PARAM NAME=\"movie\" VALUE=\"http:\/\/ws.amazon.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fthecuttinroom-20%2F8014%2F35941068-c79f-4046-ae3b-412a6b764a5a&#038;Operation=GetDisplayTemplate\"><PARAM NAME=\"quality\" VALUE=\"high\"><PARAM NAME=\"bgcolor\" VALUE=\"#FFFFFF\"><PARAM NAME=\"allowscriptaccess\" VALUE=\"always\"><\/OBJECT> <NOSCRIPT><A HREF=\"http:\/\/ws.amazon.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;MarketPlace=US&#038;ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fthecuttinroom-20%2F8014%2F35941068-c79f-4046-ae3b-412a6b764a5a&#038;Operation=NoScript\">Amazon.com Widgets<\/A><\/NOSCRIPT><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>#14.
