Today, we want to highlight a recently released single from new artist Kaleb Cohen, titled “Our Eyes Met on Friday.” This is only Cohen’s third major release on streaming platforms, yet after just one listen, it’s impossible not to be captivated by both the song and his unique artistry.
“Our Eyes Met on Friday” is primarily a folk record with an impressive pace and structure. The slow build-up in the intro creates suspense and anticipation, leading to an enthralling midsection where the tempo picks up, making the song feel like two tracks in one. While beat switches are common in popular music, it’s rare to find such a shift in the folk genre, making this song stand out.
Cohen’s lyricism doesn’t fall short either. His songwriting skills are evident as he effortlessly weaves a story with well-chosen words that are easy to follow and connect with Once again, we’re highly impressed with how intricate and well-composed this track is. We can’t wait to see what Kaleb Cohen brings us next.
