Jeyaia drops new single with Sonny Grin

English-born, Sydney-based Jeyaia is a singer-songwriter making waves in the Australian pop music scene and beyond. With her silky smooth vocals, she crafts her own take on modern soulful pop music full of memorable melodic leads and grooving rhythms.

Passionate about music from an early age, both of Jeyaia’s parents were in a blues band, with the young artist’s earliest memories involving her riding in the back of the van surrounded by instruments on the way to shows. Growing up listening to classic soul, blues and jazz music, today she draws influence from the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill and Etta James when creating her own sound.

Striking a chord with her first effort, he debut single “Rising” climbed the Music Week UK Commercial Pop Top 30 Chart to the #8 position, while also securing the remix treatment from international producers such as StoneBridge, The FifthGuys and Going Deeper.

Off the back of her first release of 2022, with her hit single “No Love”, Jeyaia now brings us her latest work with the brand new track titled “All I Need”. Linking up with fellow Australian producer and multi-instrumentalist Sonny Grin, the pair collaborated on the smoky jazz house single.

Laying down a driving rhythm and hazy sonic tapestry, Jeyaia caps the kaleidoscopic sounds with her mesmerising vocal work. Full of grooves and piquant instrumentation touches, on “All I Need” Jeyaia and Sonny Grin spin a truly memorable sound on a track that’s as catchy as it is original.

Commenting on the track, Jeyaia shares, “Sonny had the track down in under an hour. Starting with the jazz chords, then live drums, followed by the bass lick and additional percussion. We spent the day in the studio and added the choral vocal background hook, blending it into the instrumental. I took the initial bounce home and channelled the lyrics and melody with the full moon. The track certainly evolved over the year, and now it’s finally ready to make its mark on the world.”

With Sonny Grin adding, “It’s always an amazing feeling when the music just comes out so easily. I’m typically not the kind of producer and writer who can bang a bunch of stuff out super quickly, I’m more a step by step, working in my own time type of artist. It was awesome working with Jeyaia and I think All I Need was probably the first time I’ve actually written an instrumental and recorded the majority of the parts all in the one session!”
