Emily Breeze unveils her latest musical gem with the release of “1997,” the second single from her forthcoming EP, Second Rodeo, slated for release on April 12th.
“1997” showcases everything that makes Emily Breeze an extraordinary artist.
Offering a captivating glimpse into life in the ’90s, seen through the eyes of a teenager navigating that era. Emily’s signature stream-of-consciousness lyrics and captivating vocal delivery paint a vivid picture of the time, evoking nostalgia and emotion in equal measure.
On the song, Emily says,
“It’s about being a teenager in the 90’s when I used to skive school and read the NME down by the canal and sneak into the indie/metal nights under age where I heard The Beastie Boys and Rage Against the Machine for the very first time and it blew my tiny mind. We are a strange generation brought up on 80s John Hughes movie optimism and 90’s slacker nihilism which meant we thought everything would magically work out whilst also cynically side eyeing the world and refusing to participate. Flashforward and here we are in this weird new world a little bewildered to be on wading into our 40’s but still raging against the machine.”
Set against a backdrop of simple yet lush rhythms and synth waves, “1997” charms one with its catchy, whip-smart lyrics and infectious beats. The song effortlessly combines elements of introspection and groove, creating an irresistible sonic experience.
Emily’s ability to blend evocative storytelling with irresistible melodies is on full display in “1997” and proves once again why she is a force to be reckoned with.
