Dazzling, haunting and highly striking: ‘DUMB’ is one of the fieriest records we have come across recently. Yet, the addition of a few evocative, more emotional sections creates a playful interplay, one that raises the intensity, wrapping listeners into a high-octane, meaningful musical journey. Taken from EMM’s latest album ‘BLACK DIAMOND’ – out now – ‘DUMB is further evidence of the American creative’s unstoppable winning trajectory.
Standing up against the villainization of strong, complex women, EMM seeks to reclaim her and everyone else’s authenticity, celebrating diversity and uniqueness. As she explains: “‘BLACK DIAMOND’ is a visceral statement—designed to challenge, provoke, and expose the unconscious biases that shape the way we view women, power, and faith.”
From a sonic standpoint, we are in gloomy synth-pop territories, with a healthy amount of distortions perfectly counterpointing EMM’s sultry vocals, jumping from potent spoken words to passionate singing in a mere second.
