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.”
