HJ Soul Shares New Single ‘Girl On The Train’
R&B and soul singer-songwriter HJ Soul has enthralled listeners all over the world with his soulful voice and thought-provoking lyrics, and now returns with his dreamy brand-new single ‘Girl On The Train’.
The premises of the track details as life may move at such an intensely fast speed at times, ‘Girl On The Train’ has a romantic feel to it as well. You find yourself thinking about this lovely girl you met on the train but were unable to speak to.
The lyrics of ‘Girl On The Train’ naturally flowed out creating a beautiful story. HJ Soul felt at ease in silence, allowing the energy to flow between them rather than exchanging loud words during this instantaneous connection, even though neither of them introduced themselves. The romantic story, which revolves around a “city girl,” inspired him to use creative word choices in the studio to create the song’s spine. He then included melodies for each verse, tailoring them to the mood of the romantic story as it develops. Additional harmonies and adlibs give the song the extra soul it needed to create a dreamlike effect, as the story continues to unfold as the girl gets off the train at her stop and you keep dreaming of what could have happened if he had gotten to know her better through conversation.
On the song, HJ says, “I was sitting in a room on a warm evening just at the fall when autumn started, with this warm beige lighting in the room creating this cozy effect, and I was thinking with my vision and artistry what kind of song could I create in this sort of atmosphere. I had this track playing and I don’t know all of a sudden I was thinking of a time that I’d met this girl on the train standing near to where I was, and then a beautiful story unfolded in my mind of how I could write a song about this.”

Danish music legends Blue Foundation release cinematic capture of their iconic “Twilight” soundtrack hit “Eyes On Fire”!
While we wait for the new album from Danish music legends Blue Foundation to drop, which is expected in 2025, the band have unveiled a new cinematic capture of an epic performance of their iconic song “Eyes on Fire”, from a sold-out show at the Royal Danish Theatre earlier this year.
Famously featured on the “Twilight” soundtrack, the song has become a symbol of cold-weather nostalgia, with fans dubbing it the anthem of “hoa hoa season,” according to Independent UK.
“Eyes on Fire” is renowned for its hauntingly beautiful soundscape and dream-pop elements. Its introspective lyrics explore themes of power and resilience, resonating with listeners worldwide. The song’s significance soared after its feature in “Twilight” (2008), perfectly capturing the film’s dark romance. Today, it continues to gain momentum as a viral sensation on TikTok, reaffirming its lasting appeal and relevance in pop culture.
On the new “Eyes on Fire” live video and single, Blue Foundation’s lead singer Tobias Wilner says: – “It was such an intense and amazing experience. You could really feel the energy from the audience, and it felt like we were all connected through the music. In that moment, it was more than just a performance—we were all in it together, and that’s something I’ll never forget. This song isn’t just ours anymore; it belongs to everyone who listens.”
Founded in 2000 by Danish singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Tobias Wilner, the group was inspired by Mark E. Smith’s method of forming a band (The Fall), with Wilner recruiting a rotating lineup of traditional musicians over the years to fuel creativity. Since 2010, the core members of the band have been Tobias Wilner and Bo Rande, working between Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and Copenhagen, Denmark.
Blue Foundation is renowned for their distinctive fusion of electronic music and dream pop. Drawing inspiration from the ethereal nature of dream pop and a moody, introspective atmosphere, the band creates immersive soundscapes characterized by emotive vocals and intricate production. Their music often evokes a sense of melancholy and reflection, resonating with listeners who appreciate ambient, emotive melodies and introspective themes.
The band has released several well-received albums, including “Life of a Ghost”, “In My Mind I Am Free” and “Blood Moon”. These albums showcase their signature style and have cemented their reputation in the indie music scene. They have collaborated with a range of artists and producers, enriching their sound and expanding their reach within the music industry. Collaborators include Jonas Bjerre (Mew), Erika Spring (Au Revoir Simone), Findlay Brown, DJ Krush, Sara Savery, and Wang Wen.
As well as “Eyes on Fire” gaining significant fame from “Twilight”, Blue Foundation’s music has been featured in various other popular films, such as Michael Mann’s “Miami Vice,” and TV shows like “The Vampire Diaries.” Blue Foundation have also been sampled by Lil Durk on his track “Fly High” featuring French Montana and Young Thug‘s song “She Noticed.” They also co-wrote the song “Taurus” for Machine Gun Kelly.
The band’s live performances, as showcased in the new “Eyes on Fire” video, are equally captivating, combining live instruments with electronic elements and striking visuals to create an immersive experience for audiences.
