After making a name for himself with high energy houseparty bangers, ELJAY tones it down and gets personal for his new release “Vibes.” If there were two words to describe ELJAY, whether it is musically, live on stage, or even just when he is kicking it with the lads, they would be ‘good vibes.’ His persona both on and off stage is one of energy, positivity and charisma, all of which are always apparent in his music. His new video release for the single “Vibes” gives us that same infectious ELJAY charisma with a down tempo, more personal flow, letting his fans know that he is a multidimensional artist.
Sonically reminiscent of ELJAY’s past release “Smile” (Which has arguably one of my favourite music videos), “Vibes” shows a more personal, look into ELJAY’s life as he digs deep into memories that he shared with his father as well as the relationship that he has with his mother. The video is simple, yet effective and is brought to life by animations which really accent the stories that ELJAY is referring to in the song. Although not present in the video, Naomi who is the featured artist on the song, provides a refreshing top layer to the chorus and really brings the whole vibe together.
If you haven’t been listening to ELJAY as of late, it’s about time that you start getting on the wave, because the top is only getting closer for the young Toronto rapper who just announced a four date mini tour. Be sure to check him out at The Baby G in Toronto on October 7th with Uptown Boyband and JETSET as well as his other dates on the tour including Kingston and Waterloo. Check out the new video for “Vibes” below.
