With his latest single "Listen," Chris Erasmus has crafted a sonic experience that is powerful, cinematic, and deeply stirring from the first note.
This track doesn’t just enter the room; it fills the space with a presence that’s both grand and intimately familiar, fully embracing listeners in Erasmus's legendary voice, a voice that feels as if it’s carved from experience, passion, and undeniable talent.
Since the first time we heard Chris Erasmus, he’s had us completely spellbound. There’s a magnetic pull to his music that’s hard to shake, and in "Listen," this magnetic energy shines brighter than ever. The combination of rich instrumentation and Erasmus’s resonant voice feels like an invitation, urging you to drop everything and absorb each second as he unfolds his story.
Reflecting on his journey, Erasmus once shared with us in an exclusive interview:
“Zimbabwe and South Africa for me are still home; I am a country boy at heart and love being in the bush, working with horses and wildlife. It's truly a free place for the soul. New York is amazing and taught me so much about hustling and working toward your dreams. I got to work with some of the best, like Eusonia Studios and Scott Jacoby, which really set me on my path as a musician and artist. London, which is currently home, has an amazing music scene, and you just have to look at the artists it produces to see its influence on any musician.”
Each phase of Erasmus’s journey has added new depth to his sound, and in "Listen," you can feel the collective weight of these experiences merging into one masterful performance.
Erasmus possesses an authenticity and a spine-tingling cadence that captivate the listener. It’s impossible not to get lost in his vocal delivery, as his voice carries an intensity that feels both powerful and vulnerable. There's a moment in "Listen" that’s impossible to ignore with the soaring cry:
“One day I’ll find my way / I’ll stand up on the stage and will you LIIIIIIISTEEEEEEEN!”
It’s pure magic, an emotional high point that grips you by the heart and never lets go.
Just when you think the song couldn’t get any better, Erasmus brings it down to a more personal level with the line:
“One day I’ll fall in love again.”
These words are like a mirror to our own lives, reminding us of our personal struggles, triumphs, and the promises we make to ourselves. It’s like he’s put our own experiences to music, giving them a new life and a new way to be felt.
Then come the drums, and with them, an orchestral sweep that feels almost like an American anthem. The sound is big, bold, and beautifully layered, with Erasmus’s vocals lifting and soaring above the arrangement, making it feel like he’s pouring every part of himself into the performance. It’s the kind of moment that reminds you why you fell in love with music in the first place.
Just when the track seems to offer everything it can, an interlude gives us a moment to breathe and reflect before Erasmus returns, bringing all his fire and finesse back with him. His voice is a reminder of star power in its purest form, raw, emotive, and unforgettable. This is the voice of an artist destined for greatness, one who seems ready to carve his name into music history with a powerful, unmistakable presence.
In "Listen," Chris Erasmus doesn’t just perform; he shares himself with us. It’s not just a song; it’s an invitation to feel, to remember, and to imagine right along with him. A star is born, and trust us, you’re going to want to remember his name.
