Ted When has shared the YehMe2 remix of “Eyes Closed.” As one half of Flosstradamus, Chicago-based producer Josh Young was an integral part of the rise of electronic music on a global scale, and he has since won acclaim for his solo project, YehMe2. “Eyes Closed” is a song from Ted’s debut solo EP, morning, which was released in July 2020.
Ted When says, “I love what YehMe2 did with ‘Eyes Closed.’ His reimagining of the song gave the lyrics and top line melody a new feel and emotion.”
“Collaboration is in Fool’s Gold’s DNA. As a label founded by DJs, we’re always looking for new sounds and new contexts, something fresh to lay over something classic,” note Fools Gold founders A-Trak and Nick Catchdubs. “So when the opportunity presented itself to team up with an iconic label like Motown and our longtime friends at Blacksmith to help introduce an exciting new artist like Ted When, it was a no-brainer. The remix EP puts a FG spin on Ted’s unique voice and original songwriting, showcasing a wide range of sounds from the label’s friends and family with the anything-goes spirit of a handmade mixtape.”
