The enigma himself, eaJ, is back, capturing our hearts and sending them into an emotional spiral with his new single, “put it on me.”
eaJ himself describes his latest single as, “One of my favorite songs I’ve ever released. It reminds me a lot of my earlier releases. It’s a song that feels fresh but still reminds me of early eaJ songs like ‘pacman.‘” eaJ is no stranger to creating an emotionally charged playground for his listeners.
But, does “put it on me” have the legs to stand on its own amongst eaJ’s other heavy hitters? Let’s find out.
“I don’t mess with trouble/But for you, I might be down for it,” within the first seconds of “put it on me,” eaJ lassos attention with ease, sending listeners into an anxious atmosphere that feels warm, safe, and familiar. I loved the soundscape on display within this new single, recapturing once again why eaJ always finds himself on my Spotify “On Repeat” playlist.
It’s the subtle notes bouncing around the room that truly pulled me in while eaJ’s relaxed and intimate vocal delivery grabbed on in full and had me hitting replay as if my life depended on it. It’s the track’s short song nature that really gives it that replayability factor that rings special to me as a listener. An amazing short song will always be better than most long tracks filled with useless deadspace.
I’m already floating the idea through my own mind of just how good “put it on me” will slot in perfectly within eaJ’s very articulately put together setlist for future shows, and I already want him back in the Los Angeles area so I can be selfish and hear it translated with singing fans and the added love that’ll surely be floated throughout the single.
eaJ’s heart and soul perfectly radiate throughout the track’s over two-minute runtime as he showcases his genre-bending abilities, taking from his signature R&B sound while flicking through alt-pop and indie-rock, creating a memorable escape for the senses that’s beautiful and will keep listeners coming back after their hundredth listen.
eaJ’s latest single, “put it on me,” is special to its core and truly highlights eaJ’s own strengths when it comes to his vulnerability and songwriting. Nothing is off the table when it comes to connecting with his fan base while making it easy for new listeners to quickly understand why so many love eaJ’s brand of pop.
This new release easily sets eaJ on a collision course with the edge of space, as the sky is not the limit when it comes to the hard work he’s been putting in within this year alone.
eaJ’s new single, “put it on me,” joins the likes of his latest EP, 1, “LA Traffic (/),” and a feature on MICO’s “Ever After” as just some of his 2025 adventures that can be streamed now on whichever streaming service you call home.
If you’d also like to catch one of eaJ’s live performances, he will be going out on his the 1/9 tour in November, with more information being provided via his Beacons landing page.
