We had the pleasure of interviewing EDEN over Zoom video!
Singer, songwriter, and producer, EDEN shares his latest full-length album ICYMI. The project is a sonic odyssey through loss and life, dovetailed by EDEN’s effortless welding of genres between electronic, R&B, and something else entirely his own. ICYMI deftly weaves between euphoric dance beats, ambient field recordings, and an unshakeable sense of urgency as EDEN catapults towards catharsis.
ICYMI is experimental in both its sound and its creation, and EDEN’s acute conceptual grasp on the project is evident. Over the 11-tracks, EDEN flexes masterful production and intimate songwriting with both echoing synths and thought-provoking lyrics that echo long after listening.
ICYMI is EDEN’s first full-length release since his most recent album, no future (2020). After clocking in at No. 26 on the US Billboard charts with no future, EDEN returns with the eagerly-awaited and highly-ambitious ICYMI. He has released 4 EP’s along with debut album vertigo (2018) which peaked at No. 34 on the US Billboard charts.
A producer, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, EDEN (real name Jonathon Ng) is a musical tour de force. Most of the Dublin-based artist’s work is self-produced and recorded in his London at-home studio. ICYMI boasts that all songs were “written, recorded, performed, and produced by Jonathon Ng in Dublin, London, Miami, Cancun, and Los Angeles,” with the exception of a few instrumental/vocal contributions.
EDEN has been sampled by Meek Mill, and has released projects with rappers Vic Mensa and ATO, and producers Kai Whiston and Ryan Hemsworth. An innovative and well-respected influence across genres, EDEN has been cited as an influence to emerging hyperpop artists Ericdoa and Underscores as well as producer Claire Rousay.
