Eddie Chacon shares his new single “End of the World,” the second offering from his new album Lay Low, out January 31, 2025 via Stones Throw. The song confronts the pain of loss that Eddie has experienced in life. Produced by and written with Nick Hakim, “End of the World” offsets dreamy production with lyrics mourning a relationship that’s come to a close – though whether it’s romantic, familial, or platonic is left deliberately open. Its message is ultimately one of hope amidst the gloom.

Speaking about “End of the World,” Eddie Chacon says, “I feel like there comes a time when you’ve got to find the courage within yourself to turn the page and move onto the next thing, but it’s hard to close the chapter when all you have is faith that a better fit will come along.” He adds, “There’s darkness, but there’s light to be found if you search for it. Nick understood this and created a musical landscape that feels awash in beauty struggling to find its way.”

Eddie Chacon’s thoughtful strain of R&B muses on themes like mortality, failure, and growth. On Lay Low, his third solo album and second for Stones Throw, he delves into the grief that attended the loss of his mother, Patricia. The album was recorded over two years in Nick Hakim’s Brooklyn studio, with Hakim helping build an intuitive framework for Chacon’s songs of love and letting go. The first time Eddie and Nick connected, they recorded three songs in three days. “From that point forward it seemed like we’d been working together forever,” Eddie says. Lay Low will also include the previously shared single “Empire” ft. John Carroll Kirby.
