Singer and songwriter Hajaj shares his most emotionally charged song yet with the modern soul gem, “Space.” It’s another taste from In the Meantime, the follow-up to his breakthrough 2021 debut, Last Call For Coco. Expertly crafted with his co-producer and co-writer, Aidan Glover, “Space” feels like a watershed moment as Hajaj gives a glimpse into the power and emotional depth he can deliver.
Recorded fully analog, the warm, raspy vocals ache and reverberate over swinging R&B rhythms and fiery, melancholic guitars. He elaborates on the song’s address of intense emotions: “Anger. Betrayal. Overdriven tones interspersed with occasional silence…” he reflects.
“Space” follows recent singles, “The Waiting Room,” “Yours or Mine,” and “Maybe It’s You,” which
will all appear on his new EP In the Meantime, out on October 24th. The release comes on the
heels of some career milestones, including opening for the legendary Stevie Wonder in
London’s Hyde Park, where he captivated thousands of new listeners. The continued success
of his debut, Last Call For Coco, (over 180M streams to date) has also led to a partnership with
Emirates Airlines, sharing his music across their flights as their featured artist.
On his highly anticipated EP, In the Meantime, co-written and produced by Aidan
Glover, Hajaj has found a home in the sepia hues and solid-state sounds of the ’60s and ’70s.
Much like the antiheroes played by Steve McQueen and suave characters of James Bond and
Don Draper, Hajaj is both mysterious and classic; an iconoclast in both sound and style.
