From Bedroom Producer to Lead Artist: Eem Triplin’s Journey

Eem’s journey to stardom didn’t happen overnight. He started as a producer, creating tracks for various artists. His early work, including producing for $NOT on the track “Revenge,” provided the initial spark for his career. This collaboration, along with the support he received from early fans, helped push him to take his own leap into the world of artistry. In 2023, Eem released his debut EP, STILL PRETTY, which quickly gained traction. Songs like “WALKED IN” and “TELL ME I’M RIGHT” earned him praise and a growing fanbase. By the time he started working on MELODY OF A MEMORY, it was clear that his sound was evolving into something bigger, bolder, and more dynamic.

The Sound of ‘DUYA’ – A Glimpse into Eem Triplin’s Musical Evolution

When Eem released “DUYA,” the internet quickly buzzed with excitement. The track, produced by Eem himself alongside Grammy-winning producer Dahi and 18YOMAN (who was also nominated for a Grammy for his work on Lil Nas X’s Montero), showcases a sound that is at once fresh and nostalgic. “DUYA” is buoyed by a jazzy piano progression and propulsive 808s that create a groove you can’t help but move to. The production is energetic but laid-back at the same time, giving it an accessible yet sophisticated feel.

The song’s lyrics are direct yet deeply introspective. Eem’s smooth vocal delivery complements the track’s upbeat energy, while the chorus offers a sweet invitation: “Do ya, do ya, do you wanna dance with me alone?” In “DUYA,” Eem balances fun, flirtation, and reflection, making it a perfect anthem for both the intimate moments and the rooftop kickbacks everyone is waiting for this summer.

A Stylish Music Video to Match the Song’s Vibe

The “DUYA” music video is just as vibrant as the song itself. Directed by Jack Rottier, the video features Eem clad in an Avirex jacket, dancing solo in his own world.

It’s a celebration of self-expression and confidence, perfectly matching the theme of “DUYA.”

The Creative Minds Behind ‘MELODY OF A MEMORY’

As Eem’s debut album approaches, it’s clear that his sound is being shaped by some heavy-hitting collaborators. Dahi, a Grammy-winning producer, serves as the album’s executive producer.

This diverse team of producers has helped craft a sound that stretches beyond typical genre boundaries, resulting in lush instrumentation that supports Eem’s pleasant rasp and catchy melodies.

Eem’s Influence: The Role of Pharrell Williams and Other Icons

Like Pharrell, Eem has a way of blending genres and creating songs that feel timeless. MELODY OF A MEMORY reflects this influence, with lush orchestration and smooth beats that bring a sense of grandeur to the album. As Eem explores the boundaries of his sound, his connection to his musical heroes becomes more apparent, adding another layer of depth to his work.

Dead Kennedys Guitarist Claims Jello Biafra Is Holding Back Potential Reunion

Fans wishing for a reunion from the Dead Kennedys and Jello Biafra will have to petition the former singer, founding guitarist East Bay Ray has claimed.

Ray (whose real name is Raymond Pepperell) has served as the guitarist for the San Francisco punk icons since their formation in 1978, stepping away from his role only during the band’s inactive period between 1986 and 2001. 

Though the Dead Kennedys reformed in the 21st century, they’ve not once been fronted by Biafra, whose relationship with Ray and drummer Klaus Flouride (aka Geoffrey Lyall) remains fraught to this day. As Ray explained in a recent interview with Guitar World, he’s open to the concept of a reunion with the classic lineup, though Biafra remains the sticking point in any potential plans.

“It’s not an issue for me or Klaus,” Ray explains. “It’s Biafra that turns down any offers for us to do something; we don’t have any problem. He got caught with his hands in the till and wants to blame us for getting caught, but he should never have put his hands in there in the first place.

Ray’s claims relate to a 1998 lawsuit in which Ray, Flouride and drummer D.H. Peligro (aka Darren Henley, who would pass away in 2022) accused Biafra and his Alternative Tentacles label of withholding royalties. In 2003, Biafra was ordered by California’s Court of Appeal to replay the outstanding royalties with additional punitive damages.

Ray, Flouride and Peligro reunited the Dead Kennedys in 2001, with various singers fronting the band until the appointment of Ron “Skip” Greer in 2008. Attempts to reunite the classic members of the Dead Kennedys have taken place over the years, including by Chicago’s Riot Fest in 2017.

“Dead Kennedys had a sincere invitation to play a reunion show at Riot Fest in Chicago this fall,” Ray wrote on social media at the time. “Jello Biafra turned it down. Klaus Flouride, DH Peligro and I were looking forward to doing it.”

The Dead Kennedys’ original eight-year run resulted in a string of singles and four studio albums, including their 1980 debut Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables. The conclusion of the band’s lawsuit in 2003 gave members the right to reissue past Dead Kennedys albums, including a 2022 release of their debut which left Biafra displeased.

“We actually wrote as a band, where in effect, due to the chemistry between us, it was a case of two and two equaling five, you know?” Ray rold Guitar World. “None of us has had a solo career that was bigger than Dead Kennedys, which, to me, shows the power of a bunch of talented people getting together and creating something that was far greater than the sum of its parts.

“Jello didn’t bring in the songs. I know he’s created the myth that he wrote them all, but the question here is that if he did, why didn’t he ever do anything significant after leaving the band?” he added. “Iggy left the Stooges and had a career; ditto Lou Reed with the Velvet Underground or Morrissey with the Smiths. Where’s Biafra’s solo career with a bunch of great songs?”
