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 Graham's picks View Product Quick View Various Artists Modern Love Electronica | BBE | 2LP Released 13th August 2021 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Modern Love £34.00 Genre: Electronica Label: BBE SKU: BBE700CLP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 13th August 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lee Moore A Gram of Boogie (The Story Of Lee Moore/Score Records & LM Records) Soul / Funk | Past Due | 5LP Released 29th December 2017 £110.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lee Moore A Gram of Boogie (The Story Of Lee Moore/Score Records & LM Records) £110.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Past Due SKU: PASTDUE5 Formats: 5LP Released Date: 29th December 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Nina Simone Strange Fruit Soul / Funk | Intermusic | 180g, 1LP Released 18th August 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nina Simone Strange Fruit £17.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Intermusic SKU: JWR4582 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th August 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hot 8 Brass Band, The On The Spot Soul / Funk | Tru Thoughts | 2LP Released 31st March 2017 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hot 8 Brass Band, The On The Spot £15.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Tru Thoughts SKU: TRULP339 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 31st March 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ballistic Brothers London Hooligan Soul Soul / Funk | Acid Jazz | 2LP Released 26th April 2024 £28.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Ballistic Brothers London Hooligan Soul £28.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Acid Jazz SKU: AJX2LP730 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 26th April 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Revelations, The The Cost Of Living Soul / Funk | Decision | 1LP Released 19th May 2014 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Revelations, The The Cost Of Living £17.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Decision SKU: DECLP1401 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ohio Players Observations In Time (Translucent Green 2LP) Soul / Funk | Charly | 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 5th May 2023 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ohio Players Observations In Time (Translucent Green 2LP) £32.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Charly SKU: CHARLY607LP Formats: 2LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 5th May 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sly and the Family Stone Small Talk Soul / Funk | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 3rd June 2016 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sly and the Family Stone Small Talk £20.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1431 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 3rd June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Musiq Soulchild Aijuswanaseing Rap / Hip Hop | UMR/Def Jam | 2LP Released 22nd September 2023 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Musiq Soulchild Aijuswanaseing £35.00 Genre: Rap / Hip Hop Label: UMR/Def Jam SKU: 5579401 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 22nd September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Funkadelic Standing on the Verge of Getting it on Soul / Funk | 4 Men With Beards | 180g, 1LP Released 30th August 2016 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Funkadelic Standing on the Verge of Getting it on £27.00 Genre: Soul / Funk Label: 4 Men With Beards SKU: 4M180LP Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 30th August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Soul / Funk Start again
