An aspiring torchbearer of Chicago’s historic creative community, classically trained songwriter, vocalist, and producer, Ceyeo, has astounded fans with their compositions since emerging onto the scene a few short years ago. Anchored in an identifiably narratively driven motivation behind their work, the music they create has resonated with fans across the globe as they seize every opportunity they make for themself. Their latest full-length album, Together They Are Nothing, has turned countless heads since its release as it strives to define the artist’s motivations behind their art. Headlining the collection, their ballad, Confession, proves a meticulously crafted and heartwarming think piece that embodies the personal connection the artist has with their work.
An acoustic guitar strums passionately to begin the piece, and we immediately feel the world of the music being built around us in real time. After a few bars, the vocals appear and begin the story, and the track takes flight with the opening line “I confess, but I don’t want to. And there isn’t even anything for me to confess to except that I love you.”
A deeply personal and exemplary reflection of the vulnerability the artist is willing to share through their music, their work demands space in the listeners’ sense of sentimentality with every playthrough, and stays with them long after the music has left their speakers. Having accomplished so much with this newest release, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming next from this artist’s mind and studio.
