From Fightstar to Busted to his solo work, Charlie Simpson continues to showcase his incredible vocal talents with an EP celebrating his recent win on The Masked Singer.

The musician triumphed as Rhino on the British reality singing competition on Saturday night, and has now shared an official EP featuring three songs that he performed on The Masked Singer (Lewis Capaldi’s Before You Go, Kings Of Leon’s Use Somebody, and Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol), plus a new version of his own song I See You.

“I had such a good time on The Masked Singer, it was such a crazy ride,” says Charlie. “I decided to release some of my favourite songs from the show but in a very stripped-back way, which also captures the ethos of my latest solo record Hope Is A Drug, which is my most intimate album yet.

“I have also added an entirely new version of I See You, which was my first release from Hope Is A Drug. I can’t wait for people to hear it.”
