Off the back of a nationwide, self-managed live tour, Emma Tea looks unstoppable. There’s been a whole lot of hype around the project recently, and it’s easy to understand why. Her authentic, heart-on-the-sleeve artistry makes for a refreshing attitude, especially in an industry where it is not always easy to discern true realness.
Well, here you have it folks, something you can relate to: Emma Tea puts all her energies into the project, enjoying every second of her musical journey. ‘why should we be friends?’ is Tea’s latest effort, the first release since last February’s ‘Storm on Seas’ EP. Penned jointly with fellow producer JARED, the track showcases a different side of the British songstress.
Built over euphoric and evocative EDM elements, ‘why should we be friends?’ benefits from Tea’s hard-hitting, dynamic vocals, pairing perfectly with JARED’s fuzzy and fierce sonic imprint. Speaking about the inspiration behind the single, Emma explains: “It captures the frustration and heartache of giving more than you receive. The song speaks to anyone who’s questioned the worth of a relationship.”
