After the resounding success of ‘Scatterbrain’, rising star Emei’s trajectory is unstoppable with latest release ‘Don’t Know About The World’. It’s a sprawling left-pop masterpiece that showcases the artist’s ethereal vocals set against a backdrop of shapeshifting production. In a world marked by distrust and bitterness, the lyrics convey a longing for the safety and solace found in a loved one or a cherished space. This single, a sappy yet authentic love song, serves as a departure from her previous work, offering a glimpse into Emei’s emotional world. It’s a beautifully crafted ambient introduction to her upcoming EP, promising to enchant and resonate with listeners.
“I moved to LA about a year and a half ago, and the past bit has been a lot of learning and growing and realizing how hard it is to trust the people around you. There’s so much hate and bitterness in the world and sometimes I just wanna stay home with that person I love and avoid everything outside our windows. Don’t know about the world is a song about feeling safe and finding solace in that one person (or space or thing). I don’t often write about love, so finding a way to create a sappy authentic love song that still could live on this project was more difficult than you’d think. I wanted this last single to be a bit of a left turn from my previous singles. I wanted the song to be a window into my emotional world. Once Boyblue and I figured out how to have the song still filled with the vocal harmonies and ear candy I adore, everything fell into place, and it became the ambient introduction to my sophomore EP.“
