Emei

Two years after breaking TikTok with her slinky hit Late to the Party, rapidly rising alt-pop confessionalist Emei has fallen down her own rabbit hole and undergone a metamorphosis. Following the release of her previous widely embraced projects, End of an Era, and Scatterbrain, a challenging period of writer’s block and creative renewal has brought the Los Angeles-based songwriter to return with her most ambitious, and intimate, offering yet. 

Rabbithole, her glossy, high-octane third EP, is a journey within a journey, thematically traipsing through the darkest depths of her psyche, touching on anxiety, insecurity, and madness with hyper-relatable lyricism, wit, and perspective. “I spent the past year or two really developing and figuring out my sound, the visuals,” she says. “On the career side of things, Rabbithole feels very much like a project that I had to go through. It’s Emei 2.0. It reflects this period of growing up and becoming the person that I’m supposed to be.”
