J. Eka - Safe n Sound (Single)

South London artist J. Eka unveils his latest single “Safe n Sound”, a meditative yet hard hitting exploration of self awareness and the dangers of staying too comfortable. The track captures the dissonance between feeling secure and standing still, confronting how safety can quietly become stagnation.

Over smooth yet haunting production, J. Eka delivers a stream of consciousness that blurs poetry and performance. His lyrics dissect the conflict between ambition and complacency, as he raps, “Safe and sound in a palace of my delusion, / Fighting comfortability’s a solid substitution.”

It’s a moment of sharp self realisation, the artist questioning the comfort he’s built, aware that creativity thrives only when discomfort is embraced.

“Safe n Sound” unpacks the experience of being trapped inside your own echo chamber: surrounded by your ideas, reflections, and validation, yet quietly disconnected from growth. The repetition of “Feeling safe, feeling sound…” becomes both mantra and warning, a cyclical phrase that mirrors the internal loops of overthinking and restraint.

Continuing the introspective streak seen in his last single ‘Will U Be There?’, J. Eka’s latest work expands his storytelling further, offering listeners a rare look into the mindset behind artistic evolution. His writing feels both personal and universal, an honest meditation on success, fear, and the tension between stillness and motion. “Safe n Sound” is out now on all major platforms.
