We had the pleasure of interviewing Emanuel over Zoom video!\xa0

One of the most anticipated debut R&B albums of the past year, Emanuel\u2019s full-length project ALT THERAPY has been unveiled to the world today via Motown Records & Universal Music Canada.

Before the world experienced moments of great upheaval and change this past year, an unknown new artist in Canada, a son of Ethiopian immigrants, had unknowingly written music that was prophetic to the times. His debut single, the emotionally stirring \u201cNeed You\u201d, was released as the global pandemic struck, resonating with people around the world who were forced into isolation. Months later, when the brutal killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Trayvon Martin sparked a worldwide reckoning of systemic racism and racial inequality, Emanuel offered \u201cBlack Woman\u201d to the world -his moving ode of reconciliation that honors the majesty of Black women. Last month, as vaccines were distributed and possibility began to take the shape of reality, Emanuel shared his prayer for the future with the release of \u201cWorldwide\u201d. Now, during the week of Juneteenth and one year after the release of his debut EP Session 1: Disillusion, Emanuel celebrates freedom, growth and love with ALT THERAPY, his full-length contribution to the \u201crenaissance of beautiful black art in the world.\u201d

ALT THERAPY is a journey. A narrative of discovering a deep self-awareness and celebrating personal growth, Emanuel\u2019s debut album is the testament of a young man in the process of becoming a great man.

A collection of 12 songs, ALT THERAPY is home to Emanuel\u2019s two EPs released in 2020, Session 1: Disillusion (nominated for the2021 Traditional R&B/Soul Recording of the Year JUNO Award) and Session 2: Transformation, as well as six additional songs: the manifestation mantra \u201cWorldwide\u201d, the revelation of new love on \u201cPillows\u201d, the emotional plea of \u201cI Need a Doctor\u201d, the inner reckoning on \u201cDetention\u201d, the discovery of authentic love on \u201cI Been\u201d, and the rare male R&B duet on \u201cHindsight\u201d featuring fellow Toronto R&B artist Dylan Sinclair.

Also released today is the visually striking official video for \u201cWorldwide\u201d, a song born out of Emanuel\u2019s deep yearning to take his music, its message and energy, to people around the world while experiencing and absorbing the wisdom of many cultures. Directed by Kit Weyman and Executively Produced by Director X, the video is a visual depiction of Emanuel\u2019s \u201cWorldwide\u201d manifestation mantra.

Emanuel\u2019s talent is indisputable. Discovered by Canadian hip-hop icon Kardinal Offishall, launched by global superstar Idris Elba, signed by legendary R&B record label Motown Records, honored with a JUNO Award nomination for his debut EP, and championed by fans, critics and industry partners alike, Emanuel is one of the most destined new voices in R&B.
