London based multi-genre music producer, composer, musician, and sound engineer Tom E Morrison presents his first single for 2022. “Eyes of Love” was unleashed on Valentines Day, Feb 14, 2022, via all major digital music platforms. The music video was released on March 12, 2022. It was featured on the radio thrice, first on February 3 on the Soho Radio Magic Mix Show by Kate Magic, second on March 3 by the legendary German radio host/DJ Peter Urban on NDR Radio, and third on March 13 by WCR FM Radio’s “Pandora’s Box” hosted by Fay Morgan-Hine.

But take hearts and clichéd strings out of the equation—this is a cool, mood-enhancing soundscape.

“Eyes of Love” was, for Tom E, unfinished business. A drum groove, an insistent bass line, and the soulful vocal lines of Rachel Morrison: it was sounding good but had been left as a half-finished project.

Lockdown gave him the opportunity to breathe new life into the track, and this happened via a chance reconnection: a Californian poet turned rapper/singer/ songwriter called Shalane, who he had crossed paths with in London some years ago, got in touch from her home in LA.

Tom E suggested a collaboration on the incomplete track, and she added rapping and melodies from her own studio. Tom E finalized the production in London, and so “Eyes of Love” came together.

“Eyes of Love” is a chilled out fusion of electronica, soul, blues and jazz, featuring Shalane’s and Rachel’s haunting, soulful vocals. Their vocals are embedded in Tom E’s atmospheric guitar-keyboard soundscapes and hypnotic bass line. Marc Layton-Bennett (Jah Wobble, Bliss, Meeker) drives a gentle drum groove. And the track is topped with a passionate saxophone solo from Rob Hughes (ABC, Swing Out Sister), whom Tom E had met on tour.

Rather than edit it down, Tom E’s vision for “Eyes of Love” was to keep it at its full 7.20min. “It’s a vibe, it’s an atmosphere,” he says. “It works as it is as a soundscape, and I wasn’t going to compromise on that.”

Tom E Morrison’s (Bliss, Meeker) extensive list of multi-genre collaborations include Andrew Roachford, Bonnie Tyler, Shalane, Carroll Thompson, Rupert Hine, Kuljit Bhamra, Underworld, Sydney Jo Jackson, James Brown JR, Deth Enemy, Carl Sentance, Michael Voss and Darren Emerson.
