After enchanting us with the sultry mystery of ‘Spell On You’ and the hypnotic textures of ‘Beehive’, Yeija takes another dazzling leap forward with her most pop single to date, ‘Chasing Devils’. This track radiates a powerful confidence and unmissable charisma that we’ve come to know and love about Yeija. It further affirms her position as one of the most fearless emerging artists on the scene right now. It’s more than just first impressions, as beneath the glossy production is a sharp lyricism packed with emotional self-awareness. Through ‘Chasing Devils’, Yeija unpacks the thrill of toxic love to discover the clarity that comes when you get to the other side of the relentless chase.
Written during a spontaneous burst of inspiration at the gym, Yeija takes that feeling of cathartic exertion and pours it into this colourful, kinetic and overflowing soundtrack. With those funky, driving rhythms and disco-pop flair, ‘Chasing Devils’ provides such a refreshing contrast to this artist’s earlier releases. A thread that runs throughout all of Yeija’s music is those effortless vocals, which embody playfulness, power, surrender, connection, and a healthy dose of mischief. As she so sagely warns, “don’t go chasing devils when your heart ain’t at peace.” In short, this track is irresistibly replayable. We can’t wait to hear what genre boundaries Yeija will bend for us next.
“I wrote this song over multiple days, and lyrically it captures the contradictions — I just wanted to write something fun for a change.”
