Eddie Chacon
This week’s Pick of the Week comes from Eddie Chacon, who was one half of the ’90s duo Charles & Eddie. He’s reemerged in recent years as a pioneer of atmospheric, understated R&B. Teaming up with producer John Carrol Kirby, Chacon crafts a track that feels like an emotional excavation.
Chacon has been busy at work on his upcoming album release, Lay Low, so we will check out one of its lead singles, “Empire.”
