Huntr/x fans rejoice: the voice of Rumi, EJAE, has released music to tide us over until we get any news about a KPop Demon Hunters sequel.
Marking her official solo act debut, EJAE has released “In Another World,” which gives fans of the singer’s emotional vocals on “Golden” another banger to belt. The deeply resonant and powerful ballad is a gorgeous rumination on love and loss, and I can already imagine it backing up fan edits of Rujinu (Jinu and Rumi’s ship name). The song just dropped so I imagine the internet will hop on the pop bop as part of their campaign to bring Jinu back—nothing wrong with redeeming a bad boy (ahem, Ben Solo), after all.
In a recent interview with Ryan Seacrest, EJAE talked about the making of her debut single. “I wrote ‘In Another World’ during a time when I was questioning every choice I’d made. It’s about those quiet moments when you imagine the life you didn’t live—and realizing it’s okay to miss something and that in another world maybe it would be perfect.”
It’s such a powerful debut, illustrating through music how even under the bright lights of KPop Demon Hunters, life can contain multitudes, inspiring more amazing work from the singer-songwriter. EJAE explained how the newfound success has given her the opportunity to step back on the mic: “I’ve always dreamed of sharing my songs with the world, but I never imagined I’d be the one singing them.”
She continued, “This song—and this moment—feel like I’m finally letting people see who I really am. It’s both terrifying and thrilling, but mostly I’m just so excited to be able to share something that’s authentically me.” And we’re so happy she’s stepping into her power to seal the Honmoon in real life, since EJAE will also be joining her KPop Demon Hunters vocal co-stars, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami, at iHeartMedia’s Jingle Ball to perform Huntr/x songs this winter.
