We at Mesmerized had the pleasure of reviewing Emily Ricks‘ previous two singles ‘Farewell to My Youth’ and ‘Call It Falling’ respectively. The Los Angeles-based pop phenomenon blew us away with her raw and emotive storytelling, and it’s clear we weren’t the only ones! Garnering over 32,000 Spotify plays on the former and over 150,000 on the latter, Emily’s music is striking a serious chord with listeners.
‘Dead to Me’ is the artist’s brand new offering – a powerful and rocky piece of alternative electro-pop brilliance that showcases Ricks’ ability to mix up her sound and style at the drop of a hat.
Beginning with an infectious guitar riff, a super smooth bassline, and some intricate synth work, Emily’s fierce and charismatic vocals soon make their appearance. Ah…It’s so good to hear her again! Hard-hitting, ridiculously catchy, and anthemic – it’s just what we love about the musician’s sound.
After years spent in the entertainment industry (she voiced Bonnie in Toy Story 3 at just eight years old), Emily Ricks is turning her attention to honest lyricism and uncompromising beats. We’re proud to champion her artistry, and can’t wait to hear what she gets up to next!
Serious tune alert! Enjoy ‘Dead to Me’ on Spotify now:
