Drawing us in with a dimensional, cosmic soundscape, Eric Tano opens Past Lovers with atmospheric vocals, as he sings, “Lately I’ve thought about what we had as past lovers and why you ended up hurting me?”
We immediately connect with the cathartic nature of the release, as it is clear that Past Lovers is allowing the artist to heal and move forward. The dynamic synths take us on a journey which is never repetitive, which we always appreciate. The ebbs and flows, and switch ups all whilst we are immersed in a cerebral pop tapestry feels masterful.
With reference to the song, Eric asks us, “Have you ever stayed up late wondering what went wrong in past relationships?”
The rising star from Tallahassee continues, “Past Lovers is a song about about yearning for someone when it won’t work out. Best listened to when feeling energetic, sad, or melancholic, this song brings out the best of electronic music for those seeking comfort or validation.”
We learn that Eric Tano is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, and environmentalist, who grew up in the bustling city of Miami Beach, Florida. The artist’s journey in music began at fourteen when he started learning how to play bass.
With more releases set to come, Eric tells us that he “seeks to infuse imagery of naturalism with new takes on electronic elements in the electronic music genre.”
We are jumping on board the journey, and have added Past Lovers to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Eric Tano‘s wider discography, including You Are Not Alone, and Let Me Go.
