Brooklyn R&B artist E.Z.O. dropped a really solid single called “Fiend” back on May 1st and I think it deserves some serious attention. The track heavily channels that smooth energy of early 2000s heavyweights like Donnell Jones and Jagged Edge.
The background production comes from Hennen Beats, a producer E.Z.O. discovered while browsing around on Beatstars. To lay down the tracks, he headed over to RECORD HOUSE in Astoria, New York. That studio is a favorite hangout spot for other cool local artists like RAYDEO and Safa, and it gives off a cozy, comfortable environment that lets musicians clear their heads. Working closely with audio engineer Mark Matter, he crafted a fluid, warm sound. Mark really knows how to take raw ideas and elevate them with his own creative input.
The song deals with the messy assumptions and tough judgment calls that happen in modern relationships. It encourages people to leave the drama behind and look forward to greener pastures on the horizon, mimicking a fresh season of change. This single actually connects earlier motifs from his previous EP to his upcoming full-length album, “Suburban urban”. He is currently preparing for potential summer live shows, and he really wants to secure a performance slot at Dreamcon over in Houston. Make sure you head over and follow his Instagram page to stay updated on his progress.
