Chicago-based artist Eryn Allen Kane has been slowly making noise on the music scene—she’s put in work with everyone from Chance The Rapper & The Social Experiment, Towkio, Saba, and more, so far. The approach is very minimalistic, and serves the main instrument in the best of ways. Her stunning voice, won’t leave you un-phased.
Exhibiting great control and range of her voice, Kane delivers with effortless fluidity. Her colossal harmonies engulf listeners in solidarity on “Have Mercy,” feel weightless and unburdened, even in the face of loss. Taking on a warmness redolent of several generations of singer-songwriters, she fantasizes on her “Piano Song,” evoking cloudy, crystalline imagery, and crescendoing over blaring trumpets into beautiful chaos.

Eryn Allen Kane: Bass Song Lyrics:
Baby’s empty bottle
Part-time model, wrapped in your world, world, world
You think your a gold mine
You’ve been excavated time after time, time, time
Lies like spring water you drink from every night
Lies like well water you fetch every night
Forbidden fruit’s so ripe right you had to take a bite
That sneaky serpent he will certainly treat you right
Girl, don’t, make me, make me
Judge you, judge you, judge you, judge you, oh-oh
Girl, girl, don’t you know you can make them
Oh love ya, oh love ya, oh love ya, oh love ya
You’re drinking from the well
You are oh-oh yeah
Said you’re drinking from the well
Looking for your father
Oh you’re looking for your father
But he already left you
He already, he already, yeah
Lies like spring water you drink from every night
Lies like well water you fetch every night
Forbidden fruit’s so ripe right you had to take a bite
That sneaky serpent, no he didn’t ever do you right
Girl, don’t, make me, make me
Judge you, judge you, judge you, judge you, oh-oh
Girl, girl, don’t you know you can make them
Oh love ya, oh love ya, oh love ya, oh love ya
He can’t love you. You can’t love for you
You won’t love you. She won’t love you.
She just want your money and your love.
Will you ever love anyone?
