Eem Triplin returns with "DUYA," the lead single from MELODY OF A MEMORY, his debut album set for release on February 17th. Produced by Eem, alongside Dahi (the album's executive producer), 18YOMAN (Grammy-nominated for Lil Nas X's Montero), and Charlie Myles, "DUYA" is a vibrant yet introspective track. Its dynamic beat features propulsive 808s and a jazzy piano progression, creating a lively backdrop for Eem's reflective lyrics.
With a soulful choir of backup singers, Eem invites his counterpart into a moment of connection, asking with simple honesty: "Do ya, do ya, do you wanna dance with me alone?" As snow blankets the East Coast, "DUYA" offers a glimpse of sunnier days, evoking the warmth of rooftop gatherings. The track is also featured on Apple Music’s New Music Daily, building anticipation for next week's album release. His latest album will reflects the influences of Eem's idols, particularly Pharrell Williams.
The album marks the pinnacle of Eem's journey, which began as a bedroom producer. Early support from artists like $NOT, whose track "Revenge" featured Eem’s production, encouraged him to carve his own path. Eem quickly gained recognition with viral tracks like "AWKWARD FREESTYLE" and "JUST FRIENDS?", accumulating millions of streams. He released his debut EP, STILL PRETTY, in 2023. It solidified his place in the music world with standout songs like "WALKED IN" and "TELL ME I'M RIGHT."

Quotable Lyrics
Girl, I seen you, when you seein’ me too? (Right, right)
And I think it’s mutual that you the flyest in the room, shawty (For real)
Don’t nobody got me feelin’ just like you got me (For real)
Cuz all these other women, they act a foo’ ‘round me (Yeah-yeah)
