Alien Ant Farm’s Dryden Mitchell & Esjay Jones release new single ‘Bonfire’

Esjay Jones has had a phenomenal career so far. She was the lead singer of the popular group Stealing Love Jones before moving to the United States where she worked on her singing and songwriting skills. The star worked alongside major acts like Sean Kingston, Jeffree Star, Disney, Netflix, Fabletics, TimeFlies, Escape The Fate, Mystery Skulls with Nile Rodgers and brandy and Cara Frew and has teamed up with Alien Ant Farm’s Dryden Mitchell on ‘Bonfire’.

Alien Ant Farm will be touring South Africa at the end of October and was the perfect reason to release a song and prompted them to put the finishing touches on ‘Bonfire’. “Dryden was my date to the Grammy’s in 2014, we had an instant connection and have been great friends ever since our first label-introduced writing session.” Esjay continues, “We wrote and recorded the song in the celebrity suite at the Hard Rock Hotel in Palm Springs, California, which was a magical and unforgettable experience – I always have to pinch myself when I realize that I am writing music and am friends with people we used to watch on MTV in South Africa!”

The song is a little harder than your conventional pop/rock track but emcompasses the essence of both Alien Ant Farm and even Stealing Love Jones. The chemistry between the artists is clearly evident and both acts give the other their space to shine. The song is well written, beautifully produced (you’ll fall in love with the instrumental composition!) and something that’s a bit unordinary. Lyrically, the song explores the ghosts of people’s past and is a relatable piece of music. The song is fantastic and we can’t wait to watch the duo perform this live in Johannesburg next month.
