London-based artist The New Citizen Kane returns with I Don’t Need To Say and Eyes Wide Shut, two singles that form an emotional diptych ahead of his upcoming album Psychedelika Pt.1, due November 28. Together, they showcase Kane’s talent for turning human emotion into sound — weaving intimacy, desire, and denial through lush electronic production and cinematic storytelling.
Opening with I Don’t Need To Say, Kane channels a euphoric yet tender tone that builds on the foundation laid by his earlier single Forget The World. Where that track captured the rush of new love, this one explores what happens after the fire settles — when love matures into quiet connection. The production is warm and immersive, pulsing with underground beats that echo like a heartbeat beneath the surface. Every synth swell feels like a shared glance; every drop, a reminder that intimacy doesn’t always need words. It’s the kind of song that plays like a private confession whispered under dim lights.
Then comes Eyes Wide Shut, the darker twin of the pair. Built on 80s-inspired synthpop textures, it spirals into the seductive haze of a love blurred by deceit. Kane’s vocals glide over haunting melodies, drawing the listener into a world of dangerous attraction and self-delusion. It’s hypnotic, magnetic — the kind of track that leaves you caught between pleasure and unease. As a prelude to Psychedelika Pt.1, these singles reveal Kane at his most self-assured — vulnerable yet visionary. I Don’t Need To Say captures devotion; Eyes Wide Shut captures temptation. Together, they trace the fragile boundary between truth and illusion, reminding us that love’s deepest moments often live in its quietest contradictions.
