DISCLAIMER: I’M NOT A VOCALIST, THIS IS A ONE OFF! MORE ON THIS BELOW ⬇️

‘Cyborg Eyes’ is a tribute to John Foxx’s Metamatic album, which rose like a phoenix from the ashes, in 1980, amidst the death of punk, to be dubbed one of the greatest, most influential electronic albums of all time.

Foxx’s unique production, composing, and detached singing style inspired artists the world over, really forming the 80s synth pop formular, particularly for those darker, edgier outputs by the likes of Gary Numan.

I was prompted to create this tribute by the brief of a college assignment. It said you had to make a song. Instrumental music is my game, but the definition of a song is: it must have lyrics as well as music. So I chose to do my song in the style of my favourite electronic artist who sings and, as a non-vocalist, I took on the challenge myself of trying to sing to a decent standard, without autotune. Just a bit of fun really, I’m certainly not claiming to be a talented singer. This is the only original composition by myself that will contain actual melodic singing. A real one off, so savour it, or laugh at it!

I hope you enjoy my interpretation of the Metamatic album, a journey through the blindingly bright, fog-bathed streets of a dystopian city in which you cannot tell who is human, and who is not. 🤖🎹🎶😎

A huge thanks to David Hall for the awesome shots, along with Ben Cornish for helping me get the little bits of footage! 📸🎥🌟
