NEW MUSIC ON THE WAY: Ted Park & Jay Park - "Hands In The Air" - (Release Update)

By Nefertiti Jenkins
(Update 04/25/18) 
H1GHR MUSIC artist Ted Park says there is a delay in the release of "Hands In The Air" with Jay Park. Per social media, Ted Park says the music video will drop on April 26. 


(04/22/18)
Fans did not see this one coming. On April 22, H1GHR MUSIC artist Ted Park, announced on social media that the first Ted Park and Jay Park collaboration will be dropping on April 25. The date happens to be Jay Park's 31st birthday, and is one day before the start of the H1GHR MUSIC U.S. tour.


According to Ted Park's social media posts, the track called "Hands In The Air," (produced by DJ Pain 1) will be released with a music video, which was directed by The Cut Studio. Ted Park says this will be the second single off his debut EP "Plugged In."


Last week (on April 16), Ted Park released his first single (and visual),  "Broke," from his debut EP, which was also directed by The Cut Studio. According to The Cut, "Broke" is a story of motivation, and about putting his name on the map.

Fans are speculating about the new release on Jay Park's birthday, and are wondering if the single will be a track that was performed in March at South by Southwest, which sounds like an R&B track ready for U.S. Urban radio.

A Jay Park fan (@jayparkshypeman) tweeted a clip of the song/performance from SXSW last month, and then retweeted it, with the question on April 22, asking if this was the Ted Park and Jay Park collaboration that's on the way. Take a listen to the clip below.

Meanwhile Jay Park is dropping new music on May 1st with his AOMG co-CEO, Simon Dominic, and labelmates Gray and Loco. He also has been working on projects in Atlanta, Los Angeles and Seattle. There are plenty of pictures (and even video) , but not a lot of confirmed information.
