After a hectic year that saw him commanding stages globally – from supporting major acts like Imagine Dragons in massive venues to captivating audiences across Asia and North America on his own solo dates – and sharing personal stories on his revealing EP, 'when the rain stopped following me', eaJ is back in the spotlight. He returns seemingly bolder, wiser, and ready to tackle the often-messy reality of love and heartache head-on.
His first track of 2025, titled 'ruin my life', dropped on Friday, April 18 via Position Music. It serves as both a daring reintroduction for the artist and a clear indication of eaJ’s continually evolving sound.
Sonically, 'ruin my life' blends intricate, futuristic textures with an instantly catchy tune that’s practically built for repeat listens. The song creates a fascinating contrast – it's outwardly bright and euphoric, yet explores deeper, unsettled emotions beneath the shimmering surface. The lyrics explore that tricky balance between intense desire and the instinct for self-preservation, capturing the exciting, slightly dangerous pull of holding onto a relationship that could potentially unravel you completely. It feels like an anthem for anyone who loves fiercely, perhaps a bit recklessly – a modern love story painted with vibrant neon lights and subtle warning signs.
For eaJ, this single feels like more than just a new song; it's a declaration. His path has involved constant change, consistently challenging expectations and bravely venturing into new creative territory. As 'ruin my life' lands, the anticipation among his followers is sky-high. Long-time fans know one thing for sure: eaJ never stays in one place for long, always pushing forward.
Looking ahead, 2025 is shaping up to be his most ambitious year yet. With hints of more music already in the works and plans for creating unforgettable moments with fans on the horizon, eaJ is clearly entering a new phase. It’s one where he’s confidently steering his own course and exploring new sounds and directions like never before, pulling back the curtain on an era defined by him calling the shots.
