ALT-POP ARTIST EMI JEEN SHARES NEW SINGLE
"DARK LONELY SUMMER"
TORONTO, ON - SEPTEMBER 8, 2021 - Today, Montreal-based Alt-Pop artist Emi Jeen shares her brand new single "Dark Lonely Summer". Listen here. The single is a sneak peek of what's to come on Emi's forthcoming EP due out in 2022. The track was co-written and produced by Derek Hoffman (Arkells, GRAE, RALPH, The Darcys, The Trews) and is the perfect way to sonically wrap up the summer!
“Derek and I got into a writing session and felt like we didn’t want to spend another summer as we had far from people we loved," says Emi. "I arrived at the studio and had one word in mind: "canyon”. We were about to start another wave of the pandemic and I felt so far from human connections. I felt like we were digging a huge canyon and wouldn't be able to connect physically with each other anymore. I just wanted to get out of this mindset saying “And I won’t chase another Dark Lonely Summer…” In terms of the instrumentation, I said to Derek… it would be cool to do a 4 on the floor beat but alternative. To feel a sense of movement, to feel that it was a phase and that we will get out of this deepness. He nailed that one right away."
And I won’t chase another Bad Dream it’s over Dark lonely summer (we’re out of time)
