Song of the Day: Spring Cleaning – EMEREE

Introducing Australian superstar in the making EMEREE who releases her new single ‘Spring Cleaning’, a soulful anthem of hearing and rebirth, on 24th April through Xelon Digital. She has already amassed millions of views on social media with her single, ‘Leave You Like a Man’. With her devout and fast growing fanbase she is ready to set the international world alight with her unique musical style.

‘Spring Cleaning,’ is bold and cathartic and marks a new chapter in her musical journey, a deeply personal and empowering track that speaks to reclaiming your space and mending from past trauma. The track was written during the Women in Music Production songwriting camp in Perth, where she connected with fellow artists Drea, Bri Clark, and GEORGA RAATH. The song was born out of EMEREE’s journey of recovery after surviving domestic violence, a painful and life-altering experience she’s still coming to terms with.

“After such a difficult year, I needed to make space for myself again. I wanted to free myself from the emotional clutter that had been taking up so much of my mind and energy. The idea of ‘spring cleaning’ emotionally and mentally resonated with me during that time.” – EMEREE

Musically, ‘Spring Cleaning’ is a soulful anthem blending EMEREE’s signature 90s R&B influences with lush production and her unmistakable whistle notes. The track’s empowering lyrics reflect EMEREE’s journey of reclaiming her own power. The infectious groove and vulnerability make ‘Spring Cleaning’ not just a song, but an invitation to let go of what no longer serves you and step into your own strength.

EMEREE aka Gabrielle Emery is a standout musician, producer, a multi-instrumentalist and with an impressive four-octave vocal range. Her music confidently shines alongside contemporary RnB fusion artists RAYE and Cleo Sol. The homage to classic soul in the ilk of Amy Winehouse is woven into EMEREE’s self-produced records. As a writer, her lyrics often explore the realms of sexual identity and female empowerment with addictive honesty.

A commended producer in her own right, EMEREE’s golden touch has catapulted works to over 50 million Spotify streams that includes Tyla Jane’s hit “Energy” which also boasts massive international sync placements. She is in global demand both as a producer and songwriter and is set to collaborate with the iconic Nile Rogers in the coming months.

On stage, her magnetism has thrust her into the spotlight, supporting Australian heavyweights Thelma Plum, JACOTENE, and recently Budjerah, upon the release of her debut EP ‘Gold’. She is set to shine internationally with performances lined up at this year’s Great Escape Festival in Brighton and as part of the Groucho Club’s Golden Slipper line up this May.

She is championed by airplay on national radio stations Triple J and Triple J Unearthed as well as fervent local radio rotation and commercial radio. EMEREE has landed countless editorial playlists reaching large audiences including ‘Fresh Finds of 2023’ and ‘Beat Waves’.

“This is the full triple threat – lush delivery, deep production and excellent styles. Such a strut to this – soulful and golden.” – Steph Hughes, Triple J

Australian favourites Eves Karydas and Tia Gostelow handpicked this talented artist for a residency at Brisbane’s 4000 Studios with APRA AMCOS. The residency featured mentorship from multi-platinum record producers and collaborations with esteemed Australian artists. She was nominated for ‘Best Soul/Gospel Work’ at the Music Victoria Awards and received an Honourable Mention in the International Songwriting Competition for ‘Leave You Like a Man’.

She was named one of NME’s top 100 artists of 2025 and nominated for Self-Producing artist of the year with the Music Producer and Engineer’s Guild. She proudly representing incredible female producers, artists, the queer community and women in general across Australia and the US. Why not check out ‘Spring Cleaning’ below…

OUT TODAY: Pop-powerhouse Jess Ball drops new single ‘Nightmare’

Australian-based pop powerhouse JESS BALL is kicking off 2025 with her latest single, ‘Nightmare’, marking her second release since signing with London-based Project Melody Music (Owen Cutts, Monster Florence, The Big Pink).

A dynamic follow-up to last year’s acclaimed single ‘That Way’, Jess’s latest offering delivers an edgier pop-packed experience that delves into the struggles of finding one’s place in life and the uncertainty of what lies ahead.

Jess shares: “‘Nightmare’ reflects the trial and error of making life decisions, the self-doubt that comes with it, and the human tendency to desire the unattainable. It’s about feeling trapped in your ambitions while navigating the uncertainty of what lies ahead.”

Serving a strong bassline and groove-driven production, ‘Nightmare’ is a pop anthem for the modern grind, blending urgency and allure through textured distortion, siren-like soundscapes, and layers of hook-driven pop melodies. Jess’s distinctive low, honey-toned vocals glide effortlessly over the track’s pulsating rhythm, dripping with frustration and self-deprecating sarcasm.

Her distinct sound blends influences from pop, indie rock, and hip-hop, drawing inspiration from artists such as Cigarettes After Sex, Olivia Dean, and Massive Attack, shaping Jess’s unique approach to indie pop.

In 2020, Jess made waves with her third release, ‘I Found You (Neptune)’ in collaboration with EDX. The track soared to Number 1 on the Future House Beatport charts and reached Number 38 on SiriusXM’s Electro top songs of the year, accumulating over 20 million streams.

Since signing with London-based Project Melody Music in 2024, Jess has continued to rise, with her first single under the label, ‘That Way’ garnering multiple Spotify and Apple Music editorial placements, including Pop Drive, Pop n’ Fresh, and New Music Daily, and expanding her reach to a global audience.
