Setting the tone with elegant guitar strums, immersive notes and intricate percussion, Alan Peck opens Dazed with the lyrics, “When you looked in my eyes, I promise you I’d find a place in my heart…”
The opus expands into a charming contemporary R&B energy, and we are mesmerized. Alan Peck delivers poetic prowess, creative nuance and a charismatic delivery fused with a luscious soundscape. Speaking on his art, Alan comments, “In my music, I like to write ideal worlds where the listener can forget current reality and step into that which I curate through my writing.”
He elaborates, “In regard to Dazed, this particular curated world battles between infatuation and true love, with the listener placing themselves wherever they fit on the spectrum. There is no right answer here, as such is the same when we meet a love for the first time – we’d do anything to please them, and often times we’re not sure if it’s out of a deep commitment to love or a fleeting moment in time.”
We appreciate the depth, authenticity and epic vocal range of the rising artist from Chicago. Frank Ocean fans will definitely be able to connect with Alan Peck, although it is clear that he is creating a universe of his own.
Expanding on the sonic landscape that he has created, Alan confesses, “The immersive live instrumentation of the track delves into what is becoming a lost genre, with the guitar chords blending into a timbre reminiscent of a love rekindled by a familiar attraction.”
We have added Dazed to our New Music Spotlight, whilst we continue to stream Alan Peck‘s wider discography including Bliss and Follow Me.
