Korean-American singer-songwriter eaJ (Jae Park) has teamed up with pop sensation Salem Ilese to release their first-ever collaboration, “burn,” an indie pop anthem that dives deep into the turmoil of love and heartbreak. The single is a powerful exploration of the emotional complexities that come with navigating a love that both consumes and hurts.
“burn” features raw, honest verses from both eaJ and Salem Ilese, capturing the push-and-pull of conflicting emotions in a relationship. The song builds into a cathartic chorus that feels like a release of all the pent-up feelings that accompany a love gone wrong. It’s an anthem that begs to be sung out loud, resonating with anyone who has ever felt the sting of love’s fire.
This latest release follows eaJ’s successful collaboration with Indonesian singer-songwriter HINDIA on “right where you left me,” which was featured on the cover of New Music Friday Indonesia and topped several prominent Spotify playlists, including Lagi Viral, ORG., and Pop Rising Indonesia.
eaJ’s previous singles, “friendly fire” and “Mad,” have also made waves across Asia, with significant airplay on hit radio stations like 987FM in Singapore, Hitz in Malaysia, Tofu Pop Radio in Thailand, and Prambors in Indonesia. Since their release, these tracks have garnered over 3.4 million streams, solidifying eaJ’s presence in the Asian music scene.
In addition to the release of “burn,” eaJ has announced his upcoming EP, titled when the rain stopped following me, which is set to drop on September 20th. Fans can pre-save the EP now to be among the first to hear eaJ’s latest musical journey.
Looking ahead, 2024 is shaping up to be a monumental year for eaJ. He will be opening for the legendary band Imagine Dragons in August, followed by his highly-anticipated Asia tour in September. The tour will include stops in Manila, Jakarta, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore, where fans can experience eaJ’s electrifying performances live.
