EMEREE strikes 'Gold' with sensual, empowering nu-soul debut EP

Melbourne-based multi-instrumentalist, singer and producer, EMEREE proves she’s one of Australia’s rising stars with her much-anticipated debut EP, ‘Gold’, which is out now.

Singing across 4 octaves isn't enough—EMEREE has also produced and written this album with a finesse that redefines the game. This highly anticipated RnB/Soul album showcases EMEREE’s ability to merge contemporary sounds with timeless influences, solidifying her place as a standout artist in today’s music scene.

With a style that confidently stands alongside the likes of RAYE and Cleo Sol, EMEREE’s music is a rich tapestry of Motown grooves, 90’s R&B flair, and soulful melodies reminiscent of Amy Winehouse. Her self-produced tracks are a testament to her unparalleled artistry. Each song on ‘Gold’ explores themes of sexual identity and female empowerment, delivered with the raw honesty that her growing fanbase has come to adore.

‘Gold’ has been a long-time coming, and the pay-off is worth it, with the absolutely stacked nu-soul vibes and ridiculously unrelenting groove, all smothered in EMEREE’s sensual delivery. There’s plenty of Motown moments packed in, with each track bringing in influences from Janelle Monáe, UK Soul superstar RAYE, and bringing in slick, nostalgic RnB beats, with EMEREE offering up empowering lyricism, delivered in unrivalled vocal takes that can both make you blush and blow your mind. Stand out track, ‘Smooth Honey’ - the centrepiece of the EP - summarises the approach of ‘Gold’; absolutely silky bounce, plenty of complexity and massive diva moments, without any pretentiousness. ‘Gold’ is insanely good, and we’re afraid to say, this is only scratching the surface of EMEREE’s potential as both singer/songwriter and producer.

EMEREE first captured attention with her viral TikTok hit, "Leave You Like a Man," which amassed over a million views and 450k streams on DSPs. This breakthrough single not only showcased her production prowess but also established her as a powerful voice in the RnB and Soul genres. Her writing and production work has garnered over 35 million Spotify streams achieving major international sync placements.

Recorded across Australia and New York City, ‘Gold’ is the culmination of EMEREE’s journey as an artist and producer. The album reflects her experiences and growth, both personally and professionally, as she continues to break barriers and defy expectations. From her electrifying performances supporting Thelma Plum, Confidence Man, and JACOTENE, to her impressive wins at the APRA AMCOS residencies, EMEREE is a force to be reckoned with.

The release of ‘Gold’ will be followed by a headline tour, set to be announced in October, and a performance supporting Budjerah in Melbourne this September. As EMEREE continues to champion female producers, queer artists, and the empowerment of women across the globe, ‘Gold’ is not just an EP—it’s a statement.

‘Gold’ is out now on all streaming platforms.
