Sunday 21st July 2024

Release date: Out now Label: Positiva / EMI

 Dance-pop sensation Jonas Blue is back with another chart-worthy single, ‘100 Lives’ featuring Dutch born, London based singer & songwriter, Eyelar, out out now

‘100’ Lives’ is an uplifting stadium-filling hit championing a powerful piano riff and Eyelar’s glowing vocal hook. It’s a story about two soulmates staying by one another’s side through thick and thin, vowing to “live 100 lives” together. According to the UK producer, DJ, and songwriter (real name Guy James Robin), the track’s a thematic follow-up to the 2018’s ‘By Your Side’, featuring BRIT Award-winning talent RAYE.

“‘100 Lives’ started out as a piano instrumental I’d created randomly after watching the Robbie Williams documentary and feeling inspired by that big piano pop sound,” Jonas Blue explains. “Fast forward to a month or so later and I pulled up the instrumental in the studio with Eyelar and (songwriter/producer) Ollie Green and the lyrics and story just started to flow.

“It’s very much about finding your soul mate, someone who you’d be there for no matter what, going through the ups and downs of life together. It’s a bit of a follow-up to my song ‘By Your Side’, if you listen to the story in the lyrics.”

‘100 Lives’ features the silky vocals of Dutch pop singer-songwriter, Eyelar. One of dance’s hottest vocal talents, Eyelar made her name initially collaborating with Dutch Electronic producers Afrojack and Nicky Romero. She then moved to London, and began making a name for herself there collaborating on key songwriting and vocal feature credits including RAYE, Charli XCX, Danny L Harle, Disciples, Swedish House Mafia and David Guetta.

Her collaboration as a songwriter and featured vocalist with Purple Disco Machine on the German No1 Airplay Hit ‘Dopamine’ and also on ‘Shutters’ with Fred Again on the Grammy-winning ‘Actual Life 3’ album further enhanced her growing reputation as one of the most sought after collaborators in Electronic music with over 1 Billion streams across her songwriting and feature vocalist credits.

Essex-born producer Jonas Blue has a stellar reputation for making chart-hits through choice collaborations. In May, he released single ‘Mountains’, working with Galantis and Zoe Wees, a track that later received an acoustic version and was remixed by Eden Prince, D’n’B producer Mollie Collins and KC Lights. In January, he gave us the trance-y ‘Rest Of My Life’, a collaboration between Jonas and Sam Feldt under their new alias, Endless Summer. Their other release ‘Crying On The Dancefloor’, now has over 200 million streams.

With over 22 billion streams, 90 million single sales, 5 Brit award nominations and over 130 platinum certifications worldwide, Jonas Blue is no doubt a certified pop powerhouse. His most notable hits include a modernised take on Tracey Chapman 1988 hit, ‘Fast Car’, and ‘Perfect Strangers’ – two tracks that have each amassed over one billion streams. Other hit tracks include ‘Mama,’ ‘Rise’ and ‘Alien’ featuring Sabrina Carpenter, and ‘Back & Forth’ with MK and Becky Hill. He’s also recently remixed tracks for Ariana Grande and Gregory Porter. 

Jonas Blue and Eyelar take us to a place of positivity with their hopeful new single, ‘100 Lives’, out on 19th July via Positiva/EMI.
