“Low-key R&B legend" Eddie Chacon made an indelible mark in popular music as half of the duo Charles & Eddie, whose 1992 single “Would I Lie to You” was a number one hit heard around the world. The group’s 8-million-records-sold rocket to the stars lasted a few years, and Eddie spent the next couple of decades carving out a career as a photographer and creative director. He returned to music in 2020 (produced by John Carroll Kirby) and signed to Stones Throw Records in 2022.
The question that haunts Sundown is whether the unexpected success of Pleasure Joy and Happiness can be replicated. The answer turns out to be a qualified yes.
- THE GUARDIAN (5 stars)
The album avoids the trappings of a throwback or revival of a bygone era, instead exploring the rarely glimpsed side of that genre’s themes of passion and heartbreak, sung by a bruised but wiser man. - THE NEW YORK TIMES
Eddie Chacon’s R&B pop exploits are both influential and legendary. - KCRW

A few years ago @JohnCarrollKirbyOfficial turned me onto the now classic WIND LP by Gigi Masin. I never dreamed back then that this day would come. Here it is! A nearly 9 1/2 minute remix of SUNDOWN by the king himself, Gigi Masin. Thanks Sir for this beautiful opus.🙌🏼 👊🏼 🔥

Psyched to share this brand new video with all of you. We shot it in beautiful Ech Park, near my house in LA. It's a beautiful relaxing place which seemed to fit the vibe of the song perfectly. Enjoy
