Rex Orange County - Look Me In The Eyes (feat. James Blake) lyrics

"Look Me In The Eyes" from Rex Orange County's album "The Alexander Technique Exclusive Tiger’s Eye Orange Vinyl (2024)" stands out as one of the deepest and most emotional pieces in the artist's career. The collaboration with James Blake, their first-ever joint effort, brings a unique atmosphere and makes the track particularly memorable. This track is a standout on the album, and many compare it to "Happiness" from Rex's previous album, "Apricot Princess." It seems that Rex and James have created something truly special, evoking powerful emotions. The song conveys the feelings of deep experiences and love that may not end up as we hope. Complex and often painful themes, such as fleeting encounters and ephemeral love, are woven into every chord and word, creating a profound emotional resonance.

Against this backdrop of powerful emotional charge, the comments from listeners about the track are diverse, but all highlight how the song touched their hearts. Many write about how the song made them cry and feel overwhelmed, as they momentarily stepped away from everything to immerse themselves in the world of Rex and James's music. One of the most popular comments confirms that the song indeed gives goosebumps due to its harmony and the sensuality of its performance.

It is interesting to note that on previous albums, Rex has already collaborated with other artists, such as Tyler, The Creator. For example, their collaboration on "OPEN A WINDOW" from "WHO CARES?" showed how Alexander can seamlessly blend his style with other musicians. The collaboration with James Blake on "Look Me In The Eyes" reveals a new level of musical experimentation and emotional expression.

Each collaboration by Rex, whether with Tyler or James, brings something unique and valuable to his work, showcasing his versatility and drive for new sounds. In "Look Me In The Eyes," James Blake adds his distinctive atmosphere and depth, making the song a true masterpiece capable of touching the deepest feelings. Thus, "Look Me In The Eyes" becomes not only a key track on the album but also an important moment in Rex Orange County's musical career, demonstrating his ability to create unique and resonant works.
