Video: M.R.J. – Cali High

Posted by EILE Magazine on September 19, 2017 in Culture & Arts, Multimedia, Music

London-based singer-songwriter, M.R.J. has announced another great collaboration with producer Michael Stockwell (Phrased Differently) for his latest pop number – synth-heavy summer single ‘Cali High’.


The track arrives in the wake of his sublime debut single Bliss, which premiered on BBC Introducing, as well as receiving deserved praise from Record of the Day around the time of release.

After getting hold of a rough demo from Stockwell while travelling in Alaska, the London-based singer was instantly hooked. It was only a matter of time before he was back home in the studio sculpting the lyrics and melody with upcoming soul singer Elsa Chapman.

Shot under the dusky light of yet another abandoned location – this time, a run down equestrian track – M.R.J. has fashioned first-rate visuals for Cali High that’ll rouse more feelings of 90s nostalgia than your old lava lamps and Pokemon collection ever could.

Cali High is well worth a listen. Enjoy!

Cali High is out now to stream and download on Spotify and iTunes at:
