Tej’s new EP ‘HEY ME, IT’S ME‘ dropped today and it’s a fresh, electrifying debut that lands right in the sweet spot of emotional electronic music. As a breakout artist in the bass and hyperpop scene (signed to bitbird), Tej delivers a cohesive 6-track project that feels introspective and high-energy, blending shimmering melodies, heavy bass drops, and reflective vibes. ‘I NEED MORE‘ (with Wheresjordxn) starts strong with fast, glitchy vocals and rising bass that make you feel restless and hungry for more energy and excitement. Here’s what Tej had to say about his EP: ‘It’s actually such a surreal feeling because I feel like an artist in his current era – that’s truly what these things are. For me, this era has been about self discovery and lifting myself up from a defeated one. Kinda fitting because that’s what your 20s are supposed to be about – trust me, in 2023, i didn’t even fathom that i could make a post about an EP with @bitbird – and with that each song kinda lives in its own space but from the same seed. “Raw energy, mixed with the chaos in my head untangling itself” – HEY ME IT’S ME’Breakout Artist Tej Explores Identity in Vibrant New Debut EP ‘HEY ME, IT’S ME’
‘NOT ALONE‘ is a warm, uplifting track with soft synths and gentle drops that remind you you’re not alone, turning lonely moments into something comforting and connected.
‘ALL I CAN DO (time)‘ slows things down a bit for reflection, using warped melodies and big builds to express feeling stuck but still trying to move forward through time.
‘A MOMENT I REMEMBER‘ is the cozy, nostalgic one—light and chill melodies mixed with fun bass that bring back sweet-but-sad memories and give a peaceful emotional release.
‘HEY ME, IT’S ME’ (the title track) gets raw and chaotic, with shifting sounds and broken-up vocals that capture the messy inner talk we all have when figuring out who we are.
‘YOU DON’T KNOW ME‘ ends it powerfully, full of bold energy and changing vocal effects that turn feeling vulnerable into something confident and colorful.
