Following the success of his recent hit “Sleep Well,” CG5 has ventured into a new direction with “Forbidden Feeling,” embracing a more intimate and pop-centric approach. The track, crafted in collaboration with Grammy-winning producer iLL Wayno, marks a significant evolution in CG5’s musical journey.
Charlie, the creative force behind CG5, commented on the inspiration behind the song: “I’ve grappled with relationship anxiety for years, feeling like my emotions were off-limits, or that whoever I was with was somehow wrong for me. When I decided to embrace these feelings rather than overthink them, I found the ability to love truly, leading to my marriage.”
CG5’s growing impact in the music industry is underscored by his impressive digital presence, with 2.54 million monthly listeners on Spotify, 7 million subscribers on YouTube, and a dedicated following on social platforms such as TikTok and Instagram. Influenced by classic ’70s and ’80s music icons like Hall & Oates and the Doobie Brothers, CG5 has amassed over a billion YouTube views and earned widespread acclaim for his original compositions and culturally resonant adaptations.
With “Forbidden Feeling,” CG5 aims to capture a broader audience and cement his position in mainstream pop culture, building upon his remarkable repertoire of hits.
