Charlie Jeer has just released the studio version of Sun Is Gone, distilling a live favourite into its most direct form. Where earlier versions carried a sense of improvisation, this recording pares the track back to a stripped, unfiltered expression, bringing his saxophone to the centre while his smooth vocal delivery captures the tension of endings and transitions. Both reflective and understated, it closes one chapter while hinting at the next.
The Kent-born artist has built his reputation on fusing jazz foundations with electronic textures, a balance that has resonated far beyond the UK underground. In just eighteen months since his debut with Her Eyes, Jeer has amassed over 90 million streams, nearly two million monthly listeners, and a loyal online following of more than 350,000. His sets reveal a performer equally comfortable in front of intimate crowds and on festival stages.
Sun Is Gone (Studio Version) also arrives with a visual dimension, with Jeer taking the creative lead on an accompanying video that mirrors the song’s atmosphere. It’s another sign of how he approaches his work holistically, expanding beyond production into a full aesthetic universe. “Sun Is Gone is a song about recognising a time in life ending and the feelings that come with it. The studio version is a stripped-back, raw and unfiltered expression of that, in a way that feels true to myself and authentic…” he explains.
His trajectory has been far from conventional: a classically trained Grade 8 saxophonist who also studied economics, boxed competitively, and worked outside music before committing fully to it. That diverse path now feeds into a sound where precision meets improvisation and discipline collides with instinct.
