Song of the Day: Eyesore – EMEREE

Following her well-received single, ‘Spring Cleaning’ – which reflects a personal journey of recovery after surviving domestic violence – Australian artist EMEREE is firmly on the road of self-empowerment. With her tongue-in-cheek single ‘Eyesore‘, she flips the narrative, offering a playful yet pointed anthem for anyone reclaiming their power after a toxic relationship. Through her music, EMEREE hopes to inspire others to rediscover their true selves and walk away stronger from whatever tried to break them.

Sprinkled with melodic pop tones and soulful soundscapes, ‘Eyesore’ delivers a strut-away-from-the-fire moment after dating someone who behave horribly towards you – but wasn’t not quite hot enough to get away with it. EMEREE’s fun, sugar-coated vocals drip with quick-witted sarcasm— influenced by her idol Amy Winehouse— transforms a sticky breakup into a liberating moment. It’s the kind of track where you look your ex dead in the eye and say, “It’s not me, it’s YOU.”

The pop art-inspired music video drives the message home: ‘Eyesore’ is a revenge anthem dressed in bubble gum pink—sweet on the surface, but with a sting that hits hard.

Championed by Australian radio staples, including Triple J and J Unearthed and having supported Australian heavyweights Thelma Plum, JACOTENE, and Budjerah, upon the release of her debut EP ‘Gold’, EMEREE (real name Gabrielle Emery) is beginning to make serious ripples in the UK since the release of ‘Spring Cleaning’. Named one of NME’s ‘Top 100 Artists to Watch of 2025’, EMEREE has graced the stage at The Great Escape and joined high-profile studio sessions with industry giants such as Invisible Men (Jessie J, Iggy Azalea) and Eg White (Adele).

EMEREE is more than a songbird with an impressive four-octave vocal range. Hailed as Splice’s ‘Top Producers to Watch’, her golden production touch has driven over 50 million Spotify streams, including Tyla Jane’s viral hit Energy, which landed major international syncs. She’s also in global demand as a songwriter; EMEREE has recently returned from the Anti Social Camp for songwriters in New York —where she was personally selected—and is soon heading into sessions with the legendary Nile Rodgers.

Now firmly on the radar, EMEREE steps boldly into her next chapter with ‘Eyesore’—a biting, empowering pop anthem that encourages women to walk away from dead-weight partners, with their heads held high.

Song of the Day: House Wife – Emili

EMILI’s self-written/produced single, ‘House Wife’ – out now across various music platforms – started as a fun idea from a funky beat she made.
 
Emili’s former day-to-day life could be described as a dutiful housewife, spending her time cooking and cleaning while steadily growing her music career. She once joked to a friend: ‘What about go for a walk, quick coffee shop, no 9-5 but the work never stops’? The quick witted line formed the first verse of ‘House Wife’.
 
With a gleeful fusion of jazz, funk and pop, ‘House Wife’ evolved into a playful anthem about loving the ‘housewife’ lifestyle – but when producing the single, Emili was conscious of the fact, while she enjoyed being a housewife, the role may be viewed as outdated and sexist by today’s standards. This prompted Emili to look into the typical life of a 1950s housewife, which inspired her to add a bridge to reflect the 50s ideals, and the ending as a little nod to how it was sold as ‘the dream’.  Among the feel good vibes and humorous lyrics, there is an underline statement to the single: being a housewife is only a pleasant experience if it’s a choice.
 
‘House Wife’ serves as a teaser to Emili’s work-in-progress album set for an early 2026 release, and marks new chapter of incorporating humour in her music, bringing her closer to her quirky retro sound.

Counting Sabrina Carpenter, Adele, Michael Bublé, and Silk Sonic as her biggest Influences, Emili’s passion for music started in high school musical theatre in her native Australia, where she fell in love with storytelling and performing. She continued with acting after school, until her husband encouraged her to pursue music—despite feeling nervous she might not be good enough.
 
Emili quickly banished her nerves aside and went on a mini tour in Australia in 2024 called Wacky Wonderland. In the same year, Emili released her debut single ‘Vanity’ which she produced entirely on her own. The easy listening ballad was the second song she’d ever written; ‘House Wife’ is the third song she’s written.
 
First generation Australia, ethnically Macedonian/Serbian, Emili moved to the UK in 2025 to pursue a music career. She’s currently working with Hot Vox and War Child UK to combine music with meaningful causes. Her tour profits went to charities that support children in unfortunate circumstances.     
 
A graduate in Theatre and Music, Emili is becoming force to be reckoned with. A true powerhouse, she has done everything herself—from designing posters and merchandise to writing and producing her songs, and even directing and editing her own music videos.  Emili’s other passion are chickens—so much so that her logo is a chicken. She has a chicken tattoo, and her chicken mascot, Steve, features throughout her brand.
 
To date, Emili’s tracks have accumulated approximately 30,000 streams from building her fanbase through open mic nights and from the firm support of family and friends sharing her music.
 
As Emili is currently finalising her album for an early 2026 release, she teases us with the infectious single ‘House Wife’, out now for your pleasure across various music platforms.

Song of the Day: LLaw – 101 Mix – 9Bach

9BACH has deservedly earned their flowers as one of the most acclaimed acts to come out of Wales. Known for fusing traditional Welsh musical heritage seamlessly with a contemporary, cutting edge feel, the band quickly gained popularity beyond their native borders, performing across various countries, including Spain, Holland, Canada, Aotearoa, Vietnam, Australia and the Middle East.

After taking a five-year hiatus, the band enters new grounds and collaborated with artist/producer Andy Gangadeen – who has worked with leading bands, among them, Chase & Status and Lava La Rue – for their single, ‘LLaw – 101 Mix’, exclusively available on Bandcamp. Inspired by Lisa and Martin’s love for the acid house movement from the 80’s and 90’s, ‘LLaw – 101 Mix’ immediately draws you in with a mesmerically smooth electronic drive, with Lisa’s vocal performance in Welsh adding the ultimate euphoric and liberating touch to the production.

9Bach was formed in 2005 by lead vocalist Lisa Jen and guitarist Martin Hoyland, followed by bass guitarist Dan Swain, vocalist and pianist Mirain Haf Roberts and producer Andy Gangadeen. The band name is a play on numbers and words: 9 is as in Nain, (pronounced nine), which means grandmother in the North of Wales; Bach means little and is also a term of endearment in Welsh. In one language 9 is something so mundane as a number, but in Welsh Nain is a cozy, family-orientated, lovely thing – all the qualities that’s associated with a grandmother.

As well as being the lead vocalist and founding member from one of Wales’ most innovate band, Lisa is also a long-term vocal collaborator with Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals: she featured on the Candylion album, and sang live on the Candylion/Hotel Shampoo tour dates. Along with fellow 9Bach vocalist Mirain, Lisa also featured on Gruff Rhys’ albums, Seeking New Gods and Bablesberg. In addition to her extensive work with Rhys, Lisa also lent her voice to Public Service Broadcasting’s Every Valley album.

Now they’re back from a lengthy break, 9Bach enters a new chapter, exploring even more innovative sounds. Their collaboration with Andy is sure to solidify position in the Welsh and international scene.

‘LLaw – 101 Mix’ is out available on Bandcamp. Have a listen below…

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.
