[Review] CLOSE YOUR EYES – BLACKOUT

The boys from CLOSE YOUR EYES are back with their mini-album ‘BLACKOUT’. Let’s take a closer look!

BLACKOUT

We start off with the first title track ‘X’. This is a super cool R&B pop blend that has a killer bassline and fun synths.

Honestly this is a very solid track and total ear candy. The chorus is very catchy and the vocals wonderful.

The MV is also really well done!

After that comes the pre-released second title track ‘SOB’.

We follow that up with ‘CHIC’. We’re getting a House based dance track with very cool layering and pretty sick synths. I really enjoyed how they played with tempo changes and the progression of the track. It’s a club track and that’s hella fun.

‘2.0’ is an R&B hip-hop moment. “The lyrics contain the aspiration to show the growing image of CLOSE YOUR EYES.” It’s a very dynamic track with fun rhythm changes.

Next up is ‘Who’s Dat? (Jane Doe)’ delivers sensual R&B with literaly chill-inducing vocals. This is a fantastic track, super very smooth and a lovely listen.

The closing track is the English version of the title track ‘X’.
