On the heels of a successful debut single from his upcoming album with “High Hopes”, Ejay Mallard follows up with a deep dive into the psyche of a man moving beyond a broken relationship. While “High Hopes” paints a picture of the anxiety that lingers ahead of getting invested in new love, “Better” conveys the balance between growing from the hurt of a past lover and looking to replace the positive moments they filled in your life. Also standing in as a metaphor for his growth in his artistry, Ejay is driven to get better with every release and this sombre ballad is a testimony to the raw transparency taking centre stage in his new music.
Even in a hot summer filled with sunshine’s embrace can’t erase the shadow of loneliness that surrounds the mind after losing a person that meant the world to you. That void often cements itself as an obstacle to progress, but Ejay Mallard speaks both to his scorned lover and to himself as a reminder that he is “good..great..better without you.” A reminder that our worth is never defined by anybody outside of ourselves.
After “High Hopes” produced 31.1k+ fans just in the month of May, 125% more than the month before, Ejay Mallard seeks to make his name known in the R&B world with “Better.” Over euphoric production, Ejay wants to let his fans know “in order to advance to the next level in life, there will be some people who can’t go with you.” And once that empty weight is gone, you’ll realize how better off you are without them.
