Release All Control With Emei's “Late To The Party"
Say hello (again) to Emei, an alternative pop singer-songwriter based in New York, NY. She’s got articulate lyrics, timeless vocals and a dark soundscape bridge meshing old and new sounds. Emei’s newest release, Late To The Party, is about her feelings around the pressures placed on achieving so much at such a ridiculously young age.
This track was inspired by the ongoing comparison of 17-year-olds breaking records. The song asks “what is all the rush for?” to highlight just how ridiculous it is to “make it” when you’re still just figuring out how to go about life. This release marks her first alt-pop record, giving us a badass against-the-grain attitude with all the bass. The chorus will leave you singing "twenty one without a Grammy or degree” regardless of your age or status. So join the revolt and stream Late To The Party now.
