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.

Not Better

What a day, what a day

Feel hungover, but haven’t had a drink in weeks

My stomach’s in knots

My confidence is shot

Not capable of a single confident thought

And I know, it’s going to be one of those days


What a month, what a month

Took 5 steps backwards

Not a single step ahead

I look alive but inside I feel dead


And I know, this feeling ain’t getting any better


I’m reaching out

As best as I can

I tell my story in little ways

I don’t expect anyone or anything to help

Just hoping to somehow get dead to this in time


What a night, what a night

All I feel is conflict,

Feels like I’m in a fight

With myself, and I’m getting beat

And I haven’t been able to sleep a fucking night all week


And I know, I’m not getting any better


I’m reaching out

As best as I can

I tell my story in little ways

I don’t expect anyone or anything to help

Just hoping to somehow kill this beast in time


I tell myself

You don’t have to worry about it

Just take care of yourself tonight


Yea, I say

You don’t have to worry about it

Just take care of yourself tonight


You can make it

You can make it

You can make it tonight

You’ve got to make it

You’ve got to make it

You’ve got to make it tonight
