Miss Li and Eah Jé Join Voices in New Single “Maraton”
Sweden’s music scene is buzzing once again with the electrifying collaboration between two notable artists, Miss Li and Eah Jé. The dynamic duo has released their latest single titled “Maraton” (Marathon), a captivating blend of their distinct styles and shared artistic vision.
Miss Li, known as one of Sweden’s major hitmakers, continues to make waves with her recent single “Misstag”, which has been steadily climbing the charts since its February release. As she gears up for her summer tour, “Om vi stannar upp och drömmer lite grann (If we stop and dream a little bit),” Miss Li shows no signs of slowing down her creative momentum. Collaborating closely with producer and songwriter Sonny Boy Gustafsson, Miss Li maintains her relentless pursuit of musical excellence.
Eah Jé, on the other hand, burst onto the scene through TikTok, captivating audiences with snippets of his soulful melodies from his Gothenburg apartment. His breakout single “Beroendeframkallande”, released on January 13th, 2023, quickly garnered over 23 million streams, propelling him into the spotlight. Named the “Artist of the Future” at P3 Guld earlier this year, Eah Jé’s rise to prominence has been nothing short of meteoric.
The paths of Miss Li and Eah Jé converged during last year’s concerts, igniting a creative spark that led to their collaboration on “Maraton”. Reflecting on the experience, Eah Jé expresses his excitement, stating, “It felt very fun to guest on the song with Linda. It is a new type of song for me but I recognize myself in the lyrics, and the whole process of working with Linda and Sonny has been very fun!”
“Maraton” serves as a sneak peek into Miss Li’s upcoming album, offering listeners a glimpse into the various stages of life. With poignant lyrics that evoke nostalgia and introspection, the song resonates with anyone who has felt the relentless pace of life. Miss Li shares her inspiration behind the track, revealing, “In ‘Marathon’, I miss the days when I was a kid and just rode my bike down the street with no goal… No needs, no demands. Life goes so fast and sometimes it feels like I’m just running, running and running… but I never get there.”
The release of “Maraton” on April 12th was met with anticipation and excitement from fans, and the single will be live premiered on the Swedish TV show “Tack för musiken” today. Additionally, fans can catch Miss Li live on her summer tour, which kicks off on June 14th in Nyköping and concludes on August 31st in Huskvarna.
