"Charmer" gave Aimee Mann's eighth album both its title and its first single, and SuperEgo Records put the record out in September 2012. Mann wrote it on her own, words and music, and her bassist Paul Bryan produced it, playing electric bass himself with J.J. Johnson on drums. For the video, Laura Linney and John Hodgman signed on as the stars.
The rest of the album keeps good company too: the Shins frontman James Mercer duets with Mann on "Living a Lie", and the second single, "Labrador", got a video that remade the clip for "Voices Carry", the 1985 hit by her old band 'Til Tuesday, shot for shot, with Town Hall standing in for Carnegie Hall.
