“The track boasts brain-caressing synths and Dua Lipa-esque vocals with a disco flair that make for an immediate earworm rollercoaster.” – TEEN VOGUE
“…this track is a reflection of Emei’s unique talent for transforming personal experiences into universally appealing music as her community of fans continues to grow all over the world.” – METAL MAGAZINE
Spotify’s 2024 ‘Artist To Watch’ Emei has returned with her latest anthemic release, “ALL THESE KIDS”. Following on from the August hit “RABBIT HOLE”, LA’s pop luminary is continuing to make her mark in the music industry as an unrivalled force. Unfastening captivating melodies via ingenious soundscapes and spellbinding lyricism, “ALL THESE KIDS” is another stand-out release from Emei.
Leading listeners through a luxurious jazz bar before unleashing her artistic prowess, “ALL THESE KIDS” exudes confidence and feminine power. Continuing to build a bridge of relatability through her cutting edge lyricism, Emei’s hypnotic vocals sit effortlessly atop the climatic production courtesy of Timfromthehouse (Tove Lo, 5SOS, Pussy Riot, Icona Pop, Girli) and hit-maker Yung Bae. “ALL THESE KIDS” is an infectious anthem that’s bursting with high-energy that Emei refers to as the “Queen of Hearts” from her forthcoming project. Testament to not only Emei’s personal growth as she unravels a more vulnerable side, but her artistry as a whole as the hit-maker continues to push the conventional pop sounds into something never seen before.
When asked about the release Emei explained, “We enter a jazz lounge through ALL THESE KIDS. It starts calm and collected and immediately switches into a high energy confident gang vocal. This song is the Queen of Hearts of this project. It’s my confident front I put up while my whole world feels like it falls apart. I imagine there being two of me in this song, one scared while watching and listening to this confident version of me, and the other on a throne screaming at the other. It feels like the pep talk that plays in my head before I play a show.”
Emei’s meteoric rise in the music industry is underscored by endorsements from top-tier publications such as Teen Vogue, METAL Magazine, NOTION, DORK, 1883 Magazine, Billboard, The Face, Flaunt, Notion, People Magazine, Wonderland, Ones To Watch, Lyrical Lemonade, and many more. Her genre-defying music has already received international attention having caught the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJs Jack Saunders, Maia Beth, and Mollie King, who have highlighted her songs with multiple “single of the week” selections alongside triple j, SYN, and Joy FM. Attending studio sessions with some of LA’s leading producers including Timfromthehouse (Tove Lo, 5sos, Pussy Riot, Icona Pop, Girli) and Matt Kahane (David Kushner, Renforshort, Cian Ducrot, Jessie Reyez), Emei’s hit “Scatterbrain” was featured in Spotify’s Best Pop Songs of 2023, listed as the “Poppest Record of The Week” by BBC Radio 1, and named one of Spotify’s Pop Rising’s “Artists To Watch in 2024.”
Securing further playlisting from Spotify in ‘New Music Friday US’ [+Deutschland, Philippines, France, NL, Indonesia, India, Suomi, Malaysia, Thailand, Switzerland, Singapore, BE, Vietnam, Korea, China], ‘teen beats’, ‘Pop Sauce’, ‘young & free’, ‘SALT’, ‘Singled Out’ and ‘New Pop Picks’. Emphasising her surging success, Emei was selected by the Goldhouse Committee in partnership with Live Nation and Spotify for their 2024 programme, and partnered with Riot Games for the Valorant World Championship at the Kia forum to a crowd of 20,000 people.
2024 continues to showcase Emei’s breakthrough status, marked by sold-out shows across her US and EU tours. Starting with 2 intimate sell outs in London in July of 2023, Emei hit the road for her debut HL tour selling out every date.
