Crayon Announces Debut Album Home Safe, Shares New Track with FKJ & ELIZA.
Paris-based producer and songwriter Crayon has officially announced his long-awaited debut album, Home Safe, due out October 24 on Erased Tapes. To celebrate, he’s shared a dreamy new track, “Diamond Miner”, featuring the ever-smooth FKJ and soulful UK singer ELIZA.
Following last year’s release of the reflective title track Home Safe—a collaboration with Yamê and JPL from Aussie band Tora—“Diamond Miner” continues to build out the warm, immersive sonic world Crayon has been crafting: one that blends soul, jazz, folk, electronic textures, and hip-hop into something quietly powerful and deeply personal.
A mainstay in the Parisian music scene, Crayon has long been a go-to producer for names like Josman and Dinos, but Home Safe is his first major solo step into the spotlight. The record was born out of intimate jam sessions in a shared Paris flat—where musicians, dancers, and visual artists all came together to collaborate. Later, Crayon took the music back to his childhood home in the suburbs, refining the album over three years into what he calls “quiet music”—an introspective nod to the warmth and nostalgia of growing up.
Featuring an all-star cast—Rhye, anaiis, ELIZA, Lossapardo, and more—Home Safe explores a single question: What does home mean to you? For Crayon, it’s the smell of a fireplace, the sound of folk records, and the shapes he’s always tried to capture—first in drawing, and now in sound. “It’s about harmonising textures together,” he says. “You can hear the shapes. You can taste them.”
With surreal visuals led by choreographer Sulian Rios, the album merges sound, art, and emotion into one cohesive, genre-blurring vision. Crayon may not be alone on this journey, but Home Safe is his most personal work yet—and it shows.
