Classically-trained Ceyeo is a songwriter, vocalist and producer from Chicago. Ceyeo’s interest in theme-based albums sparked the creation of ‘Machine Learning’ in 2022, which is about moving forward in a world of alienation and inequality to anyone who doesn’t fit the norm. His second album ‘Baby I Care,’ released in 2023, was themed on caring, hope, optimism and positivity.
For his third album, titled ‘Together They Were Nothing,’ Ceyeo focuses on the themes of anger, anxiety and despair due to unhealthy relationships, greed and the lack of unity in the world.
In making ‘Together They Were Nothing,’ Ceyeo took a unique approach to first compose 10 classical piano etudes, for inspiration, and then produced those classical pieces into indie rock by adding rock instrumentation, synth layers, and vocals. The result is a clear evolution in Ceyeo’s writing and his most accessible album yet.
The first single for Together They Were Nothing, titled ‘Confession’ releases on February 16, 2024, with the full album releasing in October.
Generations
Time is a bridge
That your body crosses
Your mind stays back
Just electric pulses
Of trying, of doubt, of care, of hurt, of without
Thoughts keep rolling down
Like dreams of you
I never knew you
Did you know yourself?
Did you know me, or anyone else?
Why do some things happen, and others don’t
Why will some suffer, and others won’t
Do they try, do they doubt, do they care, do they hurt, do they do
without?
Thoughts keep rolling down
Like dreams of you
I never knew you
Did you know yourself?
Did you know me, or anyone else?
