Emily Unveils Raw and Captivating Release "Cheating On Her" with Gripping Music Video
In a departure from her previous release, 'Balcony Floor,' Emily unveils a new track, 'Cheating On Her,' offering listeners a window into the complexities of a relationship born out of infidelity. The song, layered with atmospheric synths and distorted sound bites, strikes a balance between buoyancy and somberness, showcasing some of Emily's most captivating storytelling to date.
Accompanying the track is a visually arresting music video that delves into the conflicting emotions of a relationship breakdown, portrayed through contemporary dance. The expressive movements capture the beauty of romance while simultaneously highlighting how inner turmoil can transform into an obsession that seizes control of the entire body.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind 'Cheating On Her,' Emily shares, "I wrote Cheating On Her after two of my friends ended up in a relationship born out of infidelity. The song explores the uneasy feeling in a relationship built on lies and deception—the constant checking of each other’s phones, flashbacks to the deceptive beginnings, and the looming worry that the truth might resurface one day. It encapsulates the adage 'once a cheater, always a cheater.'"
Known for her ability to craft honest and raw indie-pop gems, Emily weaves earworm choruses with diaristic lyrics, placing her distinct storytelling at the forefront. Hailing from West Lothian, Scotland, and raised in Rugby, Emily began writing songs at a young age. She fully embraced her musical aspirations in her teens, writing her own tunes and performing gigs. At the age of 18, she moved to London to pursue her dreams, with her musical network expanding, especially during her stint at the iconic Abbey Road recording studio.
Taking inspiration from legends like Joni Mitchell, Elton John, and Julia Michaels, Emily's music resonates with authenticity. Post-shift at Abbey Road, Emily would head to the studio, record tracks, and promptly share them on Soundcloud, quickly building a reputation and a devoted fanbase eager for her next musical endeavor. 'Cheating On Her' stands as a testament to Emily's ability to explore the intricate facets of human relationships through her poignant musical lens.
