“Young Enough” is youth encased in titanium. It’s fist-pumping out the car window to an old LCD Sound system song, it’s a supercut of the way your exes looked when they smiled, it’s feeling like John Hughes read your journal and cast the Brat Pack in its movie adaptation.â –Â The FADER
âYoung Enough is a masterstrokeâ –Â Billboard
“The Brooklyn bandâs second record is bigger and darker, amplifying their â80s new-wave sparkle into ecstatic triumph.” –Â Pitchfork
“Eva Hendricks [is] one of the best rock songwriters working today.” – Stereogum
âCharly Blissâ triumphant new album Young Enough is an unflinching celebration of survival.â –Â NMEÂ
“Blindingly bright, gleeful-sounding power-pop with teeth like piranhas.” – Entertainment Weekly
âA gargantuan step forward.â –Â DIYÂ
“Young Enough, is essential because itâs the latest reminder of the healing power of musicâ –Â The Line of Best Fit
NYC’s CHARLY BLISS (Eva Hendricks, Sam Hendricks, Spencer Fox and Dan Shure) share an incredible video for âYoung Enoughâ, the title track from their critically acclaimed second album. Directed by Henry Kaplan, the video perfectly compliments the emotionally charged single.

Of the video, Eva says, âThis video is so magical and unlike anything weâve ever made before. I told (director) Henry Kaplan that I was feeling inspired by the video for Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush, and he took that initial idea and made something totally beautiful and unique thatâs as cinematic and sentimental as the song.
Despite the fact that this video looks so dreamlike and serene, it was very physically draining to make. The entire crew and anyone who wasnât in a given shot had to sprint behind the steadicam op so that they wouldnât be seen and ruin the effect of the giant open field where we were shooting. Between that, the choreography, racing to utilize available daylight, speeding up and slowing down the track to achieve the slow-motion and fast-motion effects, and trying to get perfect, full takes because thereâs so few cuts, this was an extremely challenging video to make, but for that reason itâs also our favourite.â
Eva says about the track, âFor so many reasons, âYoung Enoughâ is the centre piece of this album. This is a song about perspective, nostalgia and growing up. The first time that I fell in love it was tumultuous and frustrating, but I think all of the endless drama made me believe that it was âworth it.â Sort of like the Twilight-movie trope that relationships that are the most painful are the most romantic. Instead of writing about it through the lens of anger and frustration, I wanted to write a song that was really honest about the fact that I really loved this person, and regardless of how messy it was and how immature we both were, I was both grateful for the experience but also grateful that Iâve grown up and out of believing that being in love should be so hard.â
