- The Analog Vault // Essential Listening - 

Eddie Chacon’s multidisciplinary career could encompass many lifetimes. After brief fame as one-half of 90’s neo-soul duo Charles & Eddie, shelved major label debuts, and ghostwriting stints for pop groups, Chacon left the music business to become a fashion photographer and creative director. Then, at the age of 56, Chacon made a miraculous comeback with his first solo release - Pleasure, Joy and Happiness.

Aided by keyboardist and composer John Carroll Kirby (a frequent collaborator of other soul / R&B luminaries including Frank Ocean, Blood Orange, Solange amongst others), Chacon’s 2020 return was a lo-fi, neo-soul revelation. His supple, falsetto-laden voice - now coated with the ruggedness of wisdom and heartache - drives this album’s soulful, strppied-back musings on romantic grief. This cathartic rejuvenation of a forgotten musician’s regal talent will fill you with everything its title promises. - The Analog Vault
