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.
Visualize
Feels like I’m in a dream
I think you feel the same
Something’s changing
We saw how far they’d go
Hate can kill you nice and slow
yea yea yea
The stronger things that live in the dark
Can you repair what’s been torn apart?
While falling out of view
From all the world could gain from you
Close your eyes
You want to hide or fly
So try flying tonight
This is our time so we won’t wait
The night is ours so don’t hesitate
Let’s see how far we go
Let’s give them a good show tonight
Visualize
You want to hide or fly
And we’re flying
