CJ WILEY ANNOUNCES UPCOMING EP + SHARES NEW SINGLE

THE ORCHARD ENTERPRISES

CJ Wiley announced their new EP, Just Can’t Quit, and shares the second single from the upcoming collection. “backporch” is a song ‘about asking your partner to forget the world and just slow things down for a moment with you,’ explains Wiley.

“The EP reflects the lifecycle of a relationship and the idea that no matter how many times love kicks our ass, we always go back for more. Like some beautiful masochistic ritual we can’t get enough of. Every love is different. Hits different, hurts different. I’m a very romantic writer and honestly useless without a muse. I wanted to capture what that feels like.” Wiley continues.

The new track follows previous single “fluke,” which is a song for the initial crush. While “backporch” is about the honeymoon period and trying to slow it down to just share a moment of bliss. “pet” is about the vulnerabilities of fully committing to another person and still craving affection despite both your flaws. The last song “wasp” talks about how breakups lead to estrangement, and when there’s no contact, things feel like it’s all rupture and no repair.
