Eddie Cohn’s latest single, “Keep Them Away,” is a refreshing blast of upbeat rock that channels the anthemic energy of U2 while carving out its own unique identity. With dynamic vocals and a driving beat, Cohn delivers a track that’s not only sonically captivating but also thematically resonant, speaking to the universal struggle of shutting out the noise of the world to focus on what truly matters.

From the opening notes, “Keep Them Away” immediately grabs your attention with its vibrant and infectious energy. The production is slick, with each element—from the crisp guitar riffs to the punchy drums—melding together seamlessly to create a sound that feels both polished and organic. There’s a sense of urgency in the music, a forward momentum that mirrors the song’s message of pushing past distractions and staying true to oneself.

Cohn’s vocal performance is a standout, delivering powerful and emotional tones that elevate the song’s lyrics. His voice carries the weight of the song’s message, making you feel every word as he sings about the struggle to keep outside influences at bay. The chorus, in particular, is memorable and anthemic, the kind that sticks in your head long after the song has ended. It’s the kind of chorus that begs to be shouted along with at a live show, full of passion and defiance.

Lyrically, “Keep Them Away” is sharp and insightful, painting a vivid picture of the battle between the inner self and the external world. Cohn’s songwriting is effective, balancing introspective lines with broader, more relatable sentiments. The song’s message is clear and powerful: in a world full of noise, it’s crucial to focus on what truly brings you joy and fulfillment. He’s even created a music video (linked below) that we feel brings the entirety of the song to life with stunning visuals and beyond.

While the influences of bands like U2 are evident in the track’s guitars and vocal structure, Cohn has crafted something that feels ultimately original and fresh. He takes familiar elements and reinvents them in a way that’s distinctly his own, resulting in a song that’s both timeless and current.

“Keep Them Away” is a triumph of modern rock, a song that’s as enjoyable to listen to as it is meaningful.
