This edition of Pop Rock BOPS takes us to Dublin, where seasoned songwriter Sean MacLeod returns with Cool Charisma, a shimmering, melodic burst of timeless pop energy.
Sean MacLeod – Cool Charisma
Sean MacLeod captures the classic spirit of 60s pop with a fresh, infectious charm that’s entirely his own
After five solo albums and a storied career as a founding member of the Dublin band Cisco, Sean MacLeod’s latest single Cool Charisma is a glistening indie pop gem. With jangling guitars, layered harmonies, and a perfectly executed call and response chorus, the track feels like a warm nod to the greats such as The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and the melodic craftsmanship of Motown, while still sounding effortlessly modern. There is a philosophical undercurrent beneath the sunshine, a reflection on personality, presence, and connection, delivered through melodies that linger long after the song fades. Drawing from decades of experience and a clear reverence for the art of songwriting, Sean MacLeod continues to prove that great pop rock can be both intelligent and instantly irresistible.
