The accompanying music video offers an intimate visual narrative that amplifies the song’s emotional weight, capturing the vulnerability and tension at the heart of its lyrics. Fans of introspective songwriting and timeless melodies will find themselves right at home with this release.
Inspired by icons such as Bob Dylan, Lana Del Rey, Depeche Mode, and Magazine, Paul Ryan continues to evolve his sound. Known for his 2022 debut album The Divine Sky, Ryan received critical praise for blending melancholy, poetry, and vibrant instrumentation. Tracks like ‘Wish Come True’ and ‘Danielle’ showcased Beatles-esque charm, while songs like ‘Dizziest Stars’ and ‘Violet Rays’ revealed a brooding lyrical depth.
With Eyes of an Enemy, Ryan ventures into a more expansive musical and thematic territory, enlisting top-tier collaborators including producer Brett Shaw (Florence + the Machine). “Worth the Know” is the perfect entry point into this next chapter.
