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” is a synth-driven banger that encapsulates ZYO’s signature sound dubbed “afrofuturism” — too clean to be retro, and too slick to be vintage, but there’s something that feels so familiar. 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. 

It takes tons of trust to hand over a perfectly produced, shiny new instrumental, complete creative freedom and virtually no direction. But Gold honours this trust with a melodic sensibility and lyrical sensitivity that complements the production so well, it can only be rationalised as musical telepathy between the collaborators. ZYO’s meticulous placement and treatment of layers of vocals is so well-executed and balanced that Gold’s vocal range and prowess blends seamlessly into a masterful mix.
