Based in Paris, France, yaje went solo late last year after leaving her band Blossom Club. A French-Morrocan raised in Australia, she has an unique experience of the world.

The third single release from her upcoming debut EP, Exotic Exorcism Pt.I, Xmy<3 is a head spinning combination of pacy, percussive electronica and delicate, compelling vocals. The result is intoxicating, demonstrating that yaje is a boundary pushing pop artist who is able tell an emotional story with her music.

Exotic Exorcism Pt.I is set for release in November 2024. Xmy<3 is out now and you can give it a listen below.
