The Weeknd Drops “In Your Eyes” Remix With Sax Legend Kenny G
The rightful follow-up to the 80s-callback single “Blinding Lights”, which has been one of the best songs of the year so far, is “In Your Eyes”. The song shares a similar vibe and is just as catchy as its predecessor.
Both finding a home on The Weeknd’s masterpiece album After Hours, the two records sound amazing back-to-back. Today, a new version of “In Your Eyes” has been released, adding to the growing list of remixes of the cut.
Kenny G assisted The Weeknd for his TIME 100 performance of the song and, finally, their link-up has been made available on streaming services.
The studio version of Kenny G’s remix showcases his ability to evoke emotion with his tremendous saxophone solo, fitting the song perfectly, and contributing to Kenny’s resurgence as an important pop culture figure in 2020. As you’ll recall, he also came through with a dope run on Kanye West’s latest album Jesus Is King.
Listen to the brand new remix below and let us know if you’re vibing to it.
Quotable Lyrics:
In your eyes
I see there’s something burning inside you
Oh, inside you
In your eyes
I know it hurts to smile, but you try to
Oh, you try to

E.G. Phillips unveils where silence speaks the loudest on new release “Empathy for the Night Fly”
The mood of E.G. PHILLIPS’s “Empathy for the Night Fly” is instantly cinematic, dark, introspective, and frozen in time. The track sounds like a scene from a late-night club where everything slows down just enough for feelings to come out. The arrangement is jazz-like in that it lets each part breathe. The arpeggiating Rhodes piano comes and goes, giving the impression that the music is thinking, as if it’s moving.
The song is really about recognition, which is when you hear something in someone else’s voice that reminds you of your own experience. It’s subtle, almost fragile, but it has a big effect on people. That emotional connection is what holds the piece together.
That choice seems deliberate, even defiant. It asks the listener to pay attention differently, not just passively. Every break is a part of the story. E.G. Phillips doesn’t just make the mood; he keeps it going. In that space, “Empathy for the Night Fly” becomes a quiet, powerful look at memory, connection, and shared feelings.

Firecamino maintains folk storytelling with new release “Juan The Baptist”
“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.
The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.
“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.
