HJ Soul Returns With Outstanding New Track “Get What I Want”
Known for his soulful sound and thought-provoking lyrics, HJ Soul has captivated audiences worldwide, and the R&B/soul singer-songwriter is back with his electrifying new single, “Get What I Want”. With the release of his latest track, the UK artist takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the late ‘90s and early ‘00s garage era, all while delivering a profound message of overcoming life’s challenges with faith and courage.
HJ Soul began his career by enchanting listeners with his moving renditions of popular soul songs from the past few decades. His talent quickly garnered attention, and he soon ventured into songwriting, allowing him to share his personal journey and explore spiritual themes. The release of his 2022 EP, Soul Desires, introduced a fresh contemporary R&B sound to his repertoire, gaining significant momentum among listeners. One track in particular, “Fantasy”, struck a chord with fans, further establishing HJ Soul as a rising star in the industry.
Last year, HJ Soul also released an album, All in the Mind, which delved into the concepts of the mind and spirituality. He explored this theme further on the powerful 2023 single “Can’t Take This Anymore”, aimed at raising awareness for mental health – a topic of utmost importance in today’s world.
Now, HJ Soul makes a remarkable return with “Get What I Want”, a track that fuses his soulful vocals with the infectious energy of UK garage music. However, “Get What I Want” goes beyond being just a UK garage/dance song; it delves deep into the trials and tribulations of life, emphasising the importance of faith, courage and self-awareness in overcoming obstacles and achieving one’s aspirations. HJ Soul believes that with these attributes and the support of the people around us, anything is possible.
Speaking about his new single, HJ Soul shares, “The lyrics talk about the difficulties and challenges of life and how faith and courage has been needed to surpass obstacles and hurdles. It talks about the possibilities we can achieve with our abilities and that faith is all it takes and self-awareness, and people around you can help you get there as well.” “Get What I Want” arrives alongside a remastered version, and both are available to buy/stream now on all platforms.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
