Aug 1 Saleka Releases New Song "Red Eyes"

R&B singer-songwriter Saleka has unveiled a brand single titled “Red Eyes”. The track follows the release of several singles that were featured on the Apple TV+ show Servant.

In a press release announcing the new track, Saleka stated the following about “Red Eyes”:

“‘Red Eyes’ is a true millennial ‘love’ song. It’s a snapshot journal entry about the dissonance of feeling something real while existing in a world obsessed with instant gratification and overstimulation. Knowing it probably won’t last amidst this chaos of temptation and competition, and compromising for one night of something resembling connection. The title is meant to carry multiple connotations. On the surface, the image of “red eyes” alludes to heartbreak and tears, or intoxication and addiction—the usual effects of toxic love. But I also liked the idea of alluding to red-eye flights—the state of being nowhere, physically and temporally in-between places, awaiting a destination. That’s sort of what this period of life feels like to me sometimes.”

Saleka will be hitting the road this fall to open up for Giveon, with dates kicking off on August 16th in Philadelphia, PA. You can find out more surrounding tour dates here, and you can check out “Red Eyes” below.
