Eddie Cohn is back and this time, it’s a personal one.
Wheels Stop is a raw and sincere exploration of Eddie’s journey from cutting ties with negativity and onto his path. The weight of the experience in his voice makes it a real breakthrough moment for him.
This single, the sixth and the EP, is set to be a fully told story about Eddie’s world, offering a full and real experience and not just another flyby listening to it. Hearing him talk about his influences gives you the impression that Eddie draws his inspiration from a large palette of sounds.
He references the grunge era, 80s rock, and pop — an alloy of familiar yet intriguing new sounds. When he starts speaking about Eddie Vedder, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and U2, he is setting his eyes toward something hefty, something that can really connect at a deeper level. The topic here is Wheels Stop — those people or situations holding us back and those negative influences blocking our judgment and growth. He’s asking the big questions about life: “Can we change? Are we stuck being the same person?” Universal theme — everyone can relate.
He's been using his music as therapy to express the need to move on from the negativity in his life.What really stands out about this project is the collaboration that is clearly present in this track. Eddie works with some incredible musicians, including Jake Reed, Dan Lutz, Brett Farkas, and Phil Peterson. Each one adds their personal touches to this track. It is a fusion of studio sessions and remote collaborations, thus showcasing how modern technology in music production is taking power.
Eddie is excited to work with these musicians, and that excitement seeps through to the end result. The recording process itself is a story.
