Former Day6 vocalist EaJ drops new song Ruin My Life
KOREAN-AMERICAN artiste EaJ drops new single Ruin My Life, following his last EP When The Rain Stopped Following Me in 2024.
After vowing audience who rocked up to Imagine Dragons's tour, EaJ is presenting a bolder and wiser side for his fans to decode as he dives in headfirst into the chaos of love and heartbreak.
Ruin My Life is a daring reintroduction to EaJ's ever-evolving sound as an artiste. Layered with glitchy, futuristic melody, Ruin My Life is a sonic paradox that will not leave your comfort playlist.
The layered track reveals an emotional turbulence shielded underneath notes of euphoria as it explores the tension between desire and self-preservation. Ruin My Life strikes a chord with fans that knows all to well about the reckless thrill of holding onto someone who will be the very reason of your ruin.
A love story painted in neon lights and warning signs, Ruin My Life is an anthem for the lovers, hopeless romantics and adrenaline chasers. For the artiste, himself, Ruin My Life is not just another add to his discography but a statement of taking leaps and reinventing oneself.
2025 may just be the 32-year-old most ambitious year, as he takes the rein to write the perfect musical for his journey. A former member of Day6, EaJ has established himself as a solo artiste in Los Angeles, US.
Typically known for his indie, alternative and R&B music such as Car Crash and Typical Story, EaJ continues to renew his sound while building a dedicated fanbase across Asia, as his songs have clenched a spot in the Spotify Viral 50 charts in the Phillipines and Taiwan.
The artist has also headlined multiple festivals across Asia, including 88rising's Head in the Clouds in Jakarta and Manila. His growing fanbase in Asia also allowed him to embark on an Asian tour last year, with sold-out stops in Manila, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Bangkok.
Ruin My Life can be streamed on all music platforms.

Coldplay's Chris Martin, actress Dakota Johnson break up after almost 8 years
Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin got together in 2017, making their first public appearance in 2018, and were later reportedly engaged. Photos: Reuters, AFP American actress Dakota Johnson, 35, and English singer-songwriter Chris Martin, 48, have split, according to American magazine People . They started dating in 2017, making their first public appearance in 2018, and were later reportedly engaged. In August 2024, Johnson refuted break-up rumours, assuring they were 'happily together'. But one source told People : 'It feels final this time.' A few weeks ago, the couple were seen walking together in Malibu, United States where they share a home. They were also pictured together taking a stroll in a park in Mumbai, India, back in January, when Coldplay performed their Music Of The Spheres World Tour at DY Patil Stadium. During their eight-year relationship, Johnson developed strong ties with the British rock band frontman's children – Apple and Moses – from his previous relationship with American actress Gwyneth Paltrow. In a 2024 interview, Johnson had said: 'I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart.' The Fifty Shades Of Grey (2015) star was seen on June 4 exiting The Greenwich Hotel in New York City without her engagement ring. – The Straits Times/Asia News Network

Elon Musk is not the father of my kids: Ayumi Hamasaki sets the record straight
Ayumi Hamasaki went on social media earlier this week to quash rthe umours that Elon Musk is her baby daddy. Photos: Ayumi Hamasaki/Instagram, AP Japanese pop diva Ayumi Hamasaki would like you to know that Elon Musk is not the father of her two children, thank you very much. This misunderstanding stemmed from a New York Times article in late May, where one of Musk's ex-flames, Ashley St. Clair, said that the American billionaire had fathered the child of "a Japanese pop star". Some netizens believe it's Japanese TV personality Tenka Hashimoto, while others suspect it's 46-year-old Hamasaki. For the record, Musk, 53, has already fathered 14 children with several different women. Hamasaki went on social media earlier this week to quash the rumours. 'I've been keeping an eye on this, and I guess it's time for me to speak up. Elon Musk is not the father of [either of] my kids," the singer said on Instagram on June 2. The J-pop star, who has been married twice, has two children aged six and four. She has remained tight-lipped about their father's identity. Hamasaki is more amused than upset at the rumours. She said: "I mean, I can understand if someone were to think it seems like the sort of thing I'd do. Even my mum laughed when she heard the rumours, saying, 'This seems kind of Ayu-like'." Hamasaki added that she felt the need to set the record straight for the sake of her children. 'Setting aside my personal image, when my kids are old enough to start Googling things I don't want them to run into the rumours and think they're true, so I'm firmly denying them," she said.

Sailing-SailGP rides rising tide with celebrity owners, brands
FILE PHOTO: SailGP F50 team Canada competes in front of the Statue of Liberty after the start of the finals race during the SailGP sailboat racing event won by team New Zealand in New York Harbor, New York City, U.S. June 23, 2024. REUTERS/Mike Segar/File Photo NEW YORK (Reuters) -With new celebrity owners and a bevy of fresh sponsors, SailGP hopes to harness a wave of popularity and take the global sailing championship to the next level as it steers back to New York City to race for a third time this weekend. SailGP announced actors Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds as new owners of Australia's three-time champion team on Thursday, just as the ink was drying on the team's first title sponsor deal with BONDS. Reynolds led beleaguered soccer side Wrexham out of obscurity and into the English second-tier Championship with an injection of marketing wizardry, cash and a popular docu-series that quickly converted legions of American fans. SailGP is hoping for their Wrexham moment, too. "The fact that we can get that sort of involvement in one of the teams is amazing, and they'll have some fun with it too, which is what it's all about," Russell Coutts, the former Olympic champion who co-founded the league, told Reuters. It was the kind of news to which fans have become accustomed, as the operation co-founded by billionaire Larry Ellison catches fire with A-listers and snares more big-name brands six years after its launch. Oscar winner Anne Hathaway joined a female-led consortium that acquired the Red Bull Italy SailGP Team last week, while the competition itself named Rolex its title sponsor in November. More than 200,000 ticketholders watched SailGP events last year, as the league reported strong growth in social media engagement, snaring younger fans. The competition expanded to 12 teams for season five, with the addition of Brazil and Italy, and announced its new docuseries last month, part of a new content development push. "We had so many sort of naysayers out there saying this is like another sailing league, it'll be gone in two years, people have tried this and done it before, it never works and SailGP has totally broken down those boundaries," said Tom Slingsby, the CEO and driver for the Australian team. The 2012 Olympic gold medallist, whose team was rebranded as the BONDS Flying Roos, said he could not have imagined five years ago his team signing an iconic brand like BONDS, as they mull potential documentary options with Jackman and Reynolds. "I would have said that's not possible. There's no chance," he said. "But here we are." The leaders in the SailGP standings are not the only winners in the sponsorship race: On Monday, the U.S. SailGP team announced Amazon has signed on as a sponsor, joining existing brands like Tommy Hilfiger and T-Mobile. "You're starting to see really big brands come in and spend money in our sport," said Mike Buckley, the CEO and strategist for the U.S. SailGP team. "We're on everybody's radar now." Buckley put his money where his mouth is in 2023, helping lead a group of investors in the purchase of the U.S. team, locking in early for the league that hopes to become the "F1 of sailing". "Larry Ellison and Russell Coutts had a vision to build a TV product that the average racing fan would spend 90 minutes paying attention to," he said. "And I think they've done just that." The New York Sail Grand Prix is set for June 7-8. (Reporting by Amy Tennery in New YorkEditing by Christian Radnedge)
