1: Mercyabout
Mercy is the latest single from abijah—recorded on the piano in his parents’ living room, close enough to catch the creaks of the wood and the sound of the keys pressing.Mercy embodies a moment of existential recognition. The song carries the Kierkegaardian tension between despair and faith—its lyrics repeat like a liturgy: "have mercy on me." A phrase that is both an acceptance of powerlessness and a plea for grace.
There’s no grand statement, no resolution—just an intentional moment of stillness. On Mercy, abijah doesn’t try to escape the tension; he creates from within it.
Out April 4 on all streaming platforms.

about
The title of Abijah’s new EP, ‘Beyond Me. .’ is a play on words. The phrase “beyond me” is often used to describe something that is impossible to understand or know the reason for. Something that is outside of the self. The lyric “sometimes, I find it hard to believe that there’s anything beyond me” (from the track ‘hard to believe’) envelops this idea quite succinctly. The realization that it is impossible to understand everything is balanced delicately against the feeling that there is still limitless potential to know more things. The inability to get out of one’s own head and rely only on the self pulls against the knowledge that there must be something greater “beyond me”.‘Beyond Me. .’ carefully places these existential questions against a dreamy “bedroom folk” backdrop. With a mix of acoustic warmth, analog rawness, and digital textures, Abijah creates a sonic world that defies genre and pulls the listener simultaneously inwards and outwards.
