‘KEEP MY EYES ON YOU’ by Charcom & Luisa Wilson

Manhattan-born producer Charcom recruits NYC-based vocalist Luisa Wilson on his latest single, ‘KEEP MY EYES ON YOU’, a seductive commingling of progressive house with gorgeous melodic pop, which chronicles the tale of an intoxicating romance. Emotionally raw and sonically ambitious, the track shows Charcom delving into a more fervid space with his sound and considering how pulsating house beats can intersect with poignant lyricism.

Originally inspired by the time Charcom spent studying in Berlin, ‘KEEP MY EYES ON YOU’ began as an homage to the city’s infamous house and techno scene. He experimented with ambient textures and heaving late-night soundscapes that form the exoskeleton of Berlin’s expressive culture. However, with the later addition of Luisa Wilson, the club floor-filler started to evolve into something much more emotionally intimate.

Tension builds from the offset with staccato synths introducing the track and laying the foundation for throbbing synths and passionate piano chords. Luisa’s yearning vocals sail atop Charcom’s dark tech production, signalling the interplay between melody and meaning on the track. Distorted bass swells arrive in the chorus, releasing the rising tension yet maintaining the intensity and depth of the track’s sonic landscape and narrative.

While citing peers like Eli & Fur, John Summit, and SG Lewis as musical influences, it is clear that Charmon’s strength lies in his emotional specificity; his production is in tune with the song’s story as is showcased in his carefully calibrated drops that are curated for meaning as well as impact. With this latest release, Charmon delivers a further instalment in his string of purposefully produced hits. For fans that enjoy house when it is being blasted on a soundsystem but also want to listen in the privacy of their bedroom, ‘KEEP MY EYES ON YOU’ is a must listen.
