Charlotte Wessels’ The Obsession release new music video for ‘Incubus’

CHARLOTTE WESSELS has released a new music video!

The new single, Incubus, is taken from the Dutch singer-songwriter’s upcoming album, Mute Swan Empire, which is scheduled for release on February 5th, 2027 via Napalm Records.

Speaking about the new single, Wessels says, “Incubus is about the things that keep us awake at night, both literally and figuratively. It introduces the Insomniac, one of the archetypes that inhabit Mute Swan Empire: a character lying awake beneath the weight of an incubus, wearing a mask made up of her fears, worries and the many crises unfolding around her. Inspired in part by Henry Fuseli’s painting The Nightmare, the song explores that peculiar space where our inner anxieties and the horrors of the outside world begin to blur. But there is also a certain strength in this character and the very act of perseverance. As the song puts it: ‘You can’t break what’s already broken. You can’t burn what is made of fire.’ I’m so excited to finally share this piece of Mute Swan Empire with the world. This album has grown into a universe of its own, and I can’t wait for people to start meeting the characters that inhabit it, starting with this sleepless soul.”
