In the words of Mac DeMarco: “Eddie Chacon is planet earth’s number one musician. Yesterday, today, and forever.” ”The soulful singer had a worldwide hit with 1992’s Would I Lie to You, but he was dropped and his musical partner died. Now, he has poured his pain into a cathartic comeback album” #44 IN UNCUT BEST ALBUMS OF THE YEAR 2020 ‘A masterful record of adventurous electronic R&B’ Eddie Chacon experienced proper, peak-nineties acclaim in the soul duo Charles and Eddie: they scored a global No. 1 in 1992 with “Would I Lie To You,” appeared three times on Top of the Pops, and featured on soundtracks from True Romance to Super Mario Bros.. Produced by John Carroll Kirby, the like-minded artist and collaborator with Frank Ocean and Solange Knowles, it features restrained percussion from Kanye West’s Sunday Service drummer Lamar Carter. Celestial soul as a break from chaos, these are quietly challenging songs as timeless as they are contemporary. By that time, Chacon had already been navigating music in interesting ways, all the way back to his teen garage rock band with the late Cliff Burton (Metallica) and Mike Bordin (Faith No More). In the late ’80s, he released a full-length on Uncle Luke from 2 Live Crew’s label and signed to Columbia as a solo act. He was a working artist, always popping up in unexpected places: through the course of his career, Chacon would write, sing, or produce ten Top 40 hits around the globe. Years ago, Chacon retired from music for a second calling as a fashion photographer and creative director. In an interview at the time, he said, “I was fortunate to have a 35-year music career and felt that there wasn’t that much more for me to say or achieve.” Very thankfully, that’s no longer the case. Private experiments, far from the major-label center he once frequented, began to feel urgent and new. “There’s nothing more exciting for me than getting to start from the beginning again,” he says today. “Pleasure, Joy and Happiness” will be available July of 2020 on the boutique Los Angeles-based label Day End Records. This is a thoughtfully considered album of quiet, confident R&B: it doesn’t jump out at you, but rather gets in you. Produced by John Carroll Kirby, the like-minded artist and collaborator with Frank Ocean and Solange Knowles, it features restrained percussion from Kanye West’s Sunday Service drummer Lamar Carter. Celestial soul as a break from chaos, these are quietly challenging songs as timeless as they are contemporary. “What a rare and cool challenge it was for me to help Eddie re-emerge after a long hiatus,” says John Carroll Kirby. “I was excited to produce a record for him that captured the chill, laid-back wisdom and easy vocal mastery he has that you don’t see that much these days.” Lead single “My Mind Is Out of Its Mind” finds a deep groove to try and contain spiraling heartbreak, while the sweet and wobbly “Trouble” balances the delightful near whisper of the title track “Pleasure, Joy and Happiness.” But even the project’s lightest moments feel sincere and mature. Altogether: a truly unifying release, coming from a man who’s earned the right to share such a regal, romantic sound. “I used to think to myself,” Chacon says, “if I ever make a record again, I’d want it to be a record you’d have to be my age to make.” Artist Eddie Chacon Genre Soul / Funk Label Day End Records Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Trouble Hurt Outside My Mind Is Out Of It's Mind Pleasure Joy And Happiness Papa Wicked World Above Below Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Eddie Chacon and more from Soul / Funk View Product Quick View Eddie Chacon Sundown Soul / Funk | Stones Throw | 1LP Released 31st March 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eddie Chacon Sundown £25.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Stones Throw SKU: STH2478LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Donna Summer Another Place And Time Soul / Funk | Crimson | 1LP Released 1st December 2014 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Donna Summer Another Place And Time £25.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Crimson SKU: DBTMLP005 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st December 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Maxx Traxx & Third Rail Third Rail Soul / Funk | Numero Group | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd November 2023 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Maxx Traxx & Third Rail Third Rail £33.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Numero Group SKU: NUM084LP-C1 Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Four Tops Four Tops Soul / Funk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 14th July 2014 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Four Tops Four Tops £21.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1102 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th July 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sister Sledge Love Somebody Today Soul / Funk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 29th September 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sister Sledge Love Somebody Today £19.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1995 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists Motown: A Symphony Of Soul (with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) Soul / Funk | Island | 1LP Released 4th March 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Motown: A Symphony Of Soul (with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) £20.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Island SKU: 3878932 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th March 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings Give The People What They Want Soul / Funk | Daptone | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 10th January 2014 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings Give The People What They Want £16.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Daptone SKU: DAP032LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 10th January 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Johnnie Taylor Who’s Making Love Soul / Funk | UMC | 180g, 1LP Released 1st November 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Johnnie Taylor Who’s Making Love £24.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: UMC SKU: 7209256 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brenda Lee Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree Soul / Funk | UMC | 1LP Released 27th September 2019 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brenda Lee Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree £18.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: UMC SKU: 7792898 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Lovin Mighty Fire – Nippon funk/soul/disco 1973-1983 Soul / Funk | BGP | 2LP Released 24th February 2017 £29.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Lovin Mighty Fire – Nippon funk/soul/disco 1973-1983 £29.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: BGP SKU: XXQLP2046 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 24th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Aretha Franklin Lady Soul Soul / Funk | 4 Men With Beards | 180g, 1LP Released 30th August 2016 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Aretha Franklin Lady Soul £27.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: 4 Men With Beards SKU: 4M130LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Soul / Funk Start again
