This week has been nothing short of spectacular for the renowned duo Sultan + Shepard of This Never Happened. They kicked things off in style with the celebration of their 250th episode of Dialekt Radio, showcasing exclusive tracks that have never been heard before. To elevate the excitement further, they released two fresh singles, ‘Close Your Eyes’ and ‘Behind Her Eyes’. These tracks are part of their eagerly awaited Circle in Time: The Trilogy EP, promising listeners yet another layer of emotional depth to their already impressive catalog.
‘Close Your Eyes’
The music of Sultan + Shepard has consistently resonated on an emotional level. Their latest song, ‘Close Your Eyes’, features the talent of Richard Walters, who brings an extra layer of emotional richness and vocal warmth. The song explores themes of longing, self-reflection, and connection, all central to Walters’ lyrical style. The journey of creating the track began while wrapping up their previous projects, with its perfect conclusion finally emerging as they delved into Circle in Time.
‘Behind Her Eyes’
‘Behind Her Eyes’ is an emotionally significant piece for Sultan + Shepard. Written during a tumultuous time in Osama’s life when his mother was fighting cancer, the track embodies a journey through sadness and hope. Driven by a robust bassline and steady percussion, the song features intricate melodies that captivate listeners. The layering of different synths creates a rich soundscape, while thoughtful drops and modulation add depth. As always, Sultan + Shepard deliver a musical experience that resonates deeply with audiences.
