Tracks like "Midnight Mambo" and "Sassy Lady" showcase his unmistakable voice and masterful command of the piano, leaving listeners spellbound and craving more.

But it's not just Charles' musical prowess that sets "Messin Aroundin" apart. The album's playful energy and irreverent humour add an extra layer of charm that is impossible to resist. Whether he's crooning about love gone wrong or setting the dance floor ablaze with his infectious grooves, Charles never fails to keep us entertained.
