After the highly explosive success of the “CMFT Must Be Stopped” video, Corey Taylor is back with “Black Eyes Blue”, the second single off his Oct 2nd release ‘CMFT’. The track has already been one of the most added songs to US Active Rock Radio (where it’s approaching the Top 10).
While “CMFT Must Be Stopped” showcased the unstoppable rockstar that Taylor is, “Black Eyes Blue” contrastingly opens up a little more of the vulnerability Taylor brings as he sings “I just need you now, I need you by my side.”
The video itself is relatable, as time and time again Taylor tries to leave the house only to find himself back home. When he does finally find a way to break the hold, he’s on a direct path back to a similar home. Whether this is a current pandemic theme or an everlasting exploration of constantly heading towards home/something familiar is up for debate.
As was the case with Taylor’s first video “CMFT Must Be Stopped”, this video for “Black Eyes Blue” is also directed by extraordinaire DJay Brawner.
Thanks to the recent success of both “CMFT Must Be Stopped” and “Black Eyes Blue”, Taylor recently hit #1 on Billboard’s “Hard Rock Songwriters’s Chart’
Listen to both tracks on all streaming platforms.
Pre-orders for the upcoming ‘CMFT’ album, dropping Oct 2nd, are available now with limited edition vinyl and merch bundles available at www.thecoreytaylor.com.
CMFT has been a long time coming for Taylor, with newly written tracks alongside some dating back to his teens. Recorded at Hideout Studio in Las Vegas, with producer Jay Ruston and his band—Christian Martucci [guitar], Zach Throne [guitar], Jason Christopher [bass], and Dustin Robert [drums]— the album traces a wild and exhilarating roadmap through Taylor’s musical psyche. “HWY 666” kicks off the album barreling ahead with a devilish twang, while “Silverfish” peels back the layers of Taylor’s songwriting as acoustic guitars build to a highwire balance of hooks and heft. An ominous bass line gives way to pummeling wah-ed out guitars on “Culture Head” and the moving piano-driven “Home” offers a raw glimpse at Taylor’s immense vocal range.
