Ember is the upcoming second single off The Words At Play, the first EP of original music by MJK (Michael J. Keplinger).
The melancholic and atmospheric love song builds the centerpiece of The Words At Play. Once again written, performed and produced entirely by Michael J. Keplinger, Ember was mastered by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios.
The Music Video
Ember appears as the third chapter of The Words At Play: Visual EP. This 16-minute short film is composed of interconnected music videos mirroring the EP of the same name. Written and directed by MJK, the film moves between narrative fragments and subjective imagery, forming a quiet meditation on language, memory, and emotional inertia.
