Ian Abel Band “Eyes On You”

Louisville, KY Based IAN ABEL BAND has unveiled a visually alluring official music video for their newest, mixed genre single, “Eyes on You”. Featuring live footage at the legendary, West Hollywood, CA Troubador, the single was featured on Apple Music’s curated rock playlist, New In Rock.

“’Eyes On You’ is a lustful rock anthem that blends elements of EDM & Pop with Hard Rock & Grunge. I had reconnected with a friend from High School (Westray Tackett) that had also moved out to Los Angeles. He and his girlfriend came to a show and we spoke after about hanging out and making music. (He had already amounted credits as a producer for EDM artists). After jamming over the Holiday break, I asked if he wanted to join the band and he happily agreed. I drove down to his house in Inglewood for a writing session and we pretty quickly finished the first song. He was scrolling through his iTunes, playing me stuff that he had messed around with when something caught my ear. Wes is a great producer with a well worth of musical inspiration constantly pouring out of him. He accidentally played a 30 second clip of a buried idea he had and I thought it was awesome and immediately asked him to play it again, and again ,and again. I looked at Wes and said “ dude, we need to write that song”; so we did. That night we walked away with the bones of what is now “Eyes On You”. Adjust for a few lyrics here, stack the rock drumming of Kenny over top of it and add Jon Graber’s engineering and you get what you hear now; a lustful anthem about longing for a romantic relationship with an ‘exotic potential’”. – IAN ABEL
