Local fella Fenn Wilson’s just put out a new single, ‘Eye On You’. Over a subtle bluesy riff he has a rad voice which comes in deep and sweet as he waxes poetic on the sadness that comes along with falling for someone at the wrong time.
Lines like ‘nothin brings the rain, like fake smiles… hands run like rivers babe, down you for miles’ show of his ability to convert compassionate observations into hauntingly beautiful lyrics and sounds.
“Eye On You addresses how terrible timing can be when falling for someone and how unavoidable someone is once they’ve caught your eye,” Fenn explains. Inevitably the feelings are far too strong and as you fall for them deeper, those things that made the timing so difficult end up being alleviated by your passions for one another.”
The tracks the first glimpse into Wilson’s upcoming album ‘Ghost Heroin’, and if it’s anything to go by, we’re in for a real treat. After hearing ‘Eye On You’, you’ll definitely have your eye on him, or ear on him, or something… sorry that was really cheesy, but the song is really good so you should check it out!
