Building on the success of Charlie Syntari’s breakthrough debut single, “Memories”—which spent weeks on Apple Music’s New in Pop playlist in 2021—Charlie returns with SynthNation, his first full-length album. Leading the charge is the electrifying single “Piece of My Heart,” a fresh take on the 1993 Eurodance hit by Intermission.
Originally produced by the German team DMP, “Piece of My Heart” became a massive dance floor anthem, and now Syntari reinvents it with his signature touch—fusing retro vibes with contemporary dance energy to keep listeners moving.
This 12-track collection highlights Charlie Syntari’s undeniable talent for blending the high-energy pulse of Dance Pop and EDM with the emotional depth of progressive house and melodic trance
A devoted student of the ‘90s and early 2000s dance scene, Charlie Syntari’s music is deeply rooted in the infectious rhythms and emotional resonance that defined the era. “I am bound to it,” he reflects, speaking on how the genre’s ability to pair floor-filling beats with meaningful lyrics has shaped his creative vision.
In SynthNation, listeners embark on a journey through emotional highs and introspective lows. With a signature blend of uplifting major-key melodies and carefully placed minor tones, Charlie crafts a soundscape that connects on a universal level.
The album is driven by house vibes, infused with melodic and progressive house elements, reflecting his deep appreciation for electronic music’s evolution while seamlessly integrating it into the Dance Pop genre.
While the original “Piece of My Heart” explored themes of love, vulnerability, and commitment, Syntari stays true to its emotional essence while giving it a sleek, modern update. The result is the perfect fusion of classic and contemporary—ideal for fans of both retro dance hits and today’s chart-topping anthems.
Syntari proves he’s not just a product of the ‘90s—he’s a boundary-pushing artist shaping the future of EDM. Tracks like “Hey, Sister!” and reimagined versions of “Memories” and “My Desire” showcase his versatility and innovation.
Whether you’re drawn to the euphoric energy or the melody-driven moments, SynthNation delivers a dance-ready experience with a message.
Charlie Syntari’s star continues to rise, and this album cements his status—not just as an artist of the moment, but as a movement in the making.
