Paul Cafcae releases yet another heartfelt and emotional ballad, but this time, his tone is less rebellious as he dives deeper into a softer and more genuine sound. With the same Americana fusion style, his latest release, Eileen, is a song about finding the kind of love that makes all the struggles worth it. This track features the collective help of Diana Herrera on the drums and backup vocals and Ethan Tilbury on upright bass. They form a creative soundscape that sounds slow, simple, and authentic. 

Eileen’s instrumentals and vocals give the song a sweet vibe as the soft beat from the percussions utilizes the swung notes on the snare drums. Diana uses the cymbals and other toms during certain parts, creating a dynamic and fluid motion, adding fills only when necessary. This continues throughout the song, carrying the rhythm and melody forward as the other instruments convene. Single chords are strummed by an electric guitar in a romantic ballad style, similar to Earth Angel by Marvin Berry and the Starlighters, but in a slower manner. The walking bass lines provided by Ethan back up the main guitar, which even stays silent during verses. Leaving only Paul’s vocals, the bass, and the percussions create a simple layer of sounds that helps create an authentic and sincere atmosphere, especially with Paul’s unique storytelling lyrical style. As the song approaches its hooks, the volume becomes louder giving an uplifting experience to listeners. The piece changes from playing louder and softer at different intervals, giving it an overall dynamic structure that eventually ends in a satisfying conclusion.
