Lay Low (LP)
Eddie Chacon
Amoeba Review
With Lay Low, Eddie Chacon delivers one of the most compelling R&B records in recent memory. As one half of the '90s soul music duo Charles & Eddie, he brought us the undeniable "Would I Lie to You?," a 1992 global chart-topper. Lately he has teamed up with indie stars like John Carroll Kirby and Nick Hakim to create dreamy leftfield R&B influenced by neosoul, dub, and trip-hop. "Empire" is a timeless track with retro appeal, a beautiful heartbreaker, with bittersweet, enticing instrumentation, dreamy harmonies, and simple but gut-punching lyrics. "Let the Devil In" is a woozy, dub-influenced track that casts a sad, lovely spell. "End of the World" combines dub with alt-R&B to create a hypnotic, downbeat mood. Lay Low is moving, entrancing, and deeply cool.
