"Together They Were Nothing" EP: Ceyeo Cracks the Shell Wide Open

Well Ceyeo is not the sort of artist you just put on in the background while you fold laundry. He is the type you listen to while staring at the ceiling and wondering where everything went sideways. He comes from Chicago, and he writes with the kind of honesty that feels almost risky, like he might say something you were trying very hard not to think about. He mixes styles, brings in sharp lyrics, and never plays it safe. If your idea of a good time is music that actually makes you feel something, he’s your guy.

His new EP, Together They Were Nothing, follows two earlier albums that leaned more toward hope and softness. This time, Ceyeo walks straight into the mess of anger, anxiety, and loneliness that comes from broken connections and a world that occasionally feels like it’s running on fumes. It’s not a cheerful record, but it’s a true one. You can tell he wrote this with the lights off and the thoughts on high volume.

The EP opens with the track “Confession,” a song that sounds like someone trying to tell the truth while also wishing they didn’t have to. The words hit hard: love that wore itself out, nights that feel too heavy, and two people who somehow made darkness out of light. It feels tired in the most human way, like the last conversation you keep replaying because you still don’t know how it got there.

At track 3, Ceyeo sends in “Love Is Angry,” which might be the most poetic breakup letter ever disguised as a song. It dances between warm and sharp, saying that love can lift you up, and then shove you straight into traffic when it’s done with you. The lines move fast, almost like someone arguing with themselves in real time. It’s messy, dramatic, and painfully real. And honestly, who hasn’t been there at least once?

Things get heavier with “Bedlam,” which feels like standing backstage at the end of the world. Ceyeo throws images at you like he’s unpacking a dream he barely remembers: bells ringing, planets falling, greed that behaves like a vampire. It’s chaotic, but intentionally so. The whole track sounds like a mind trying to keep itself together while also whispering, “By the way, everything is on fire.”

The song “Contact” shifts into something almost spiritual. It’s about leaving, returning, remembering, trying again, and then trying not to try too hard. The song moves like someone walking through an old house and touching the walls because everything inside it still feels alive. It’s dense, emotional, and packed with moments that feel like memories you haven’t lived but somehow recognize.

The EP then closes with “This Is How You Win,” a sharp, almost bitter commentary on power, greed, and the way the world treats people who actually care. It repeats its message the way a frustrated teacher repeats a lesson no one seems to learn. There’s anger in it, but also clarity. It feels less like a song and more like a warning whispered in a dark hallway.

Well “Together They Were Nothing” ain’t your typical EP, it’s honest, interesting and has the ability to keep you glued throughout. He tells you exactly what he sees in the world, even when it’s uncomfortable. The EP is emotional, raw, thoughtful, and at times strange in the best way. You see track 2 and track 6, just pay attention to those tracks! And be on the look out for his upcoming album “Walls of Love” early next year, I know he’s gonna cook something we can’t forget.
