Interview with EMELINE
We had the pleasure of interviewing EMELINE over Zoom video!\xa0
Rhode Island-born, L.A.-based singer/songwriter EMELINE premiere the spellbinding video for her recent single \u201cthis is how i learn to say no\u201d \u2014 watch it HERE. Filmed by the ocean, the breathtakingly shot visual serves as a perfect counterpart to the 22-year-old artist\u2019s message of setting boundaries and reclaiming your power.
\u201cThis music video shows the many sides to my vulnerability and strength throughout my personal healing and growth,\u201d says EMELINE. \u201cI wanted it to show my pain and liberation by the shore. I love storytelling; and with this video I wanted it to be about connecting the audience with my emotions and allowing my lyrics & performance to be that bridge.\u201d
Directed by Joelle Grace Taylor (a director/photographer who\u2019s worked with FLETCHER, Ari Lennox, and Flo Milli), the video for \u201cthis is how i learn to say no\u201d opens on EMELINE at the edge of the shore, fiercely glamorous in a chainmail dress. With a ferocious intensity, she passionately portrays the song\u2019s narrative of rediscovering your inner strength (an element informed by her recovery from a painful relationship, as well as by watching her parents\u2019 marriage come to an end). As the video unfolds, EMELINE tears off the heavy jewelry around her neck and finds her way to freedom, eventually running into the water in the track\u2019s final seconds.
Released in August, \u201cthis is how i learn to say no\u201d showcases the stunning vocal range and minimalist yet hypnotically moody sound EMELINE first revealed on her breakthrough single \u201cflowers & sex.\u201d A #4 hit on Spotify\u2019s U.S. Viral 50 chart, \u201cflowers &; sex\u201d amassed over 10 million global streams within just eight weeks of its premiere, landed on nearly 30 Spotify editorial playlists, and earned critical praise from outlets like Paper (who noted that the \u201cblunt pop anthem\u2026arrives at a time when people are craving a little self-love and a lot of sexual pleasure after a year of endless isolation\u201d) and Earmilk (who hailed the song as \u201cseductive, confident and perfect in synergy\u201d while praising EMELINE as \u201ctransformative\u201d).
