CJ Wiley Unveils New Single “Get Paid” Which Was Co-Written With Dave Monks of Tokyo Police Club

This Friday, CJ Wiley will release their debut LP, So Brand New via Tiny Kingdom. To help celebrate the album, Wiley is sharing the new single “Get Paid”, co-written with Dave Monks of Tokyo Police Club. “Get Paid” takes “a tongue-in-cheek look at how expensive it is to be alive, reflecting my frustration with the relentless grind of life,” says Wiley. “It captures the feeling of being stuck in a society we’re sick of, enduring it for the sake of our loved ones, while knowing full well that we all deserve something much more meaningful.”

The single arrives with a video from Doran Brooks in which CJ Wiley delivers a cheeky yet grim reminder that we’re all born just to work. The video is “a playful take on the relentless grind we’re all stuck in,” explains Wiley. “With a nod to Thelma & Louise, it shows how we’re working our entire lives until we die.”
