ZYO and Mathew Gold reunite to collaborate on “Blue Eyes” — a smooth dance floor banger that tugs at the heartstrings and sets off the soul.
Grounded with a warm synth bass and driving beat, it’s a modern-day love song that’s dripping with fuzz and complemented with soulful vocals. On the surface, “Blue Eyes” encapsulates ZYO’s signature
sound dubbed “afrofuturism” — too clean to be retro, and too slick to be vintage — but there’s something that feels more pop-facing too.
A dive into the meaning behind Mathew’s lyrics will reveal a much deeper love story of souls colliding at the right time, forming an undeniable cosmic connection.
The song is currently climbing the charts on East Coast Radio and is potentially headed to take the Number 1 spot.
It takes tons of trust to hand over a perfectly produced, shiny new instrumental, plus complete creative freedom and virtually no direction. But Gold honours this trust with a melodic and lyrical sensibility that complements the production so well… it can only be rationalised as musical telepathy between two skilled collaborators.
