LISTEN: EDEN Releases Second Single “Peaked”
The single comes in the wake of his forthcoming album ‘NEW WORLD TAPES’
EDEN takes the forefront of the project New World Tapes with his latest release “Peaked,” after his previous drop “Yours Now” kicked off the multi-artist compilation project as its ATO-led single.
The Irish cult-status superstar EDEN, otherwise known as Jonathon Ng, makes his presence known with an extensive, electronic tune made powerfully touching with his vocal arrangements and ad-libs, the basis of this song. “Peaked” uses his nostalgic charm, through figurative yet relatable lyrics that firmly place him among the songwriting greats of this generation of talent.
Speaking from the heart about the new release, EDEN shares: “I started ‘Peaked’ in November last year. I thought with everything I had been through in the last 4/5 years that I was finally finding a level surface on which to build from. But the crest in the road can hide a lot from you.
“I finished writing the song just after the turn of the decade. The intervening weeks had shown me that just as the incline had evaporated away, a looming descent had crept up out of sight. And when you are staring down the valley, suddenly hyper aware that the threshold you have just crossed can only get further and further away, no amount of rapid blinking can change what’s in front of you.”
Taking control over his momentum, EDEN frequently and deliberately provides an example with his original and unique approach to creating music for others to reflect on. Lauded for his innovative work by the likes of the Guardian, Pigeons & Planes, and Billboard, “Peaked” carries the New World Tapes as its second release, coming through his MCMXCV label and comes off the back of a sold-out Roundhouse headline show, his recently released album no future and over 1B+ streams across his catalog.
Co-created with some of the finest boundary-defying artists across the globe, the project will see a new release every week, culminating with the 12-track project available on vinyl. A true product of these interesting times we are in, EDEN’s careful curation of artists each paving the way in their genres allows a truly innovative collection of music developed under the net of the current global landscape.
