The track produced with longtime collaborator Sammy Witte (Maggie Rodgers, Harry Styles, Freya Ridings) is a synth-led follow up to the beautifully melancholic first single, “Shakes” which received immediate praise from fans and critics alike. Rolling Stone calling the track a confident move, “through a haze of different musical perspectives” with Milky declaring, “Hemmings’ hypnotic vocals, are laced with melancholia and intimately introspective lyricism.”
Of today’s “Close My Eyes” release Luke states, “I’m elated to share the next chapter from boy – a song called “Close My Eyes.” I wrote this as I headed into my late 20’s and felt an unavoidable wave of fear and anxiety towards the inevitable death of my youth. I found myself unable to sleep because every time I tried; it was as if a film of my life was projected onto the back of my eye lids. The mistakes, successes, everything that could have been and everything that was. I felt physical growing pains of becoming a fully realized version of myself while having to say goodbye to the past.
