We’ve got the perfect song for you to play on this mellow Sunday.

Chinese-American singer and songwriter Emei’s ‘Don’t Know About The World’ is a beautifully dreamy slice of alternative pop that is not only melodically memorable, but also lyrically moving.

“A song about feeling safe and finding solace in that one person (or space or thing). I don’t often write about love, so finding a way to create a sappy authentic love song that still could live on this project was more difficult than you’d think. I wanted this single to be a bit of a left turn from my previous singles. I wanted the song to be a window into my emotional world.”

If you can’t get enough of Emei’s music then you’ll be pleased to know that she’s planning to release two more singles and an EP later this year.

Exciting times for a hugely talented musician who has already amassed more than 50 million career streams to date.

We’ve featured Emei so many times on these pages that we’ve lost count. And yet still, this much-hyped alt-pop icon continues to impress us.

Anthemic new single ‘Cynical’ delivers listeners with a punchy and bold production that hits you hard, from the moment you press play. Emei has also unveiled some brilliantly vivid visuals for the track, of which she explains:

“When I met Aser Santos (DP) on the set of my ‘That Girl’ music video, I knew instantly we had chemistry through the camera. Our creative visions have always aligned for my music and it is with sincere excitement and giddiness to show the world our baby, the ‘Cynical’ music video. The moment I wrote this song, I knew it was my title track and I knew it needed a dramatic and ridiculous music video. The song has always been my favourite to play live so of course, a moshpit was a must. We then landed on an aesthetic inspired by Tim Burton and this video became everything I’ve wanted and more. Welcome to the title track of my EP. Welcome to the world of Cynical.”

Emei plays two dates in London later this month, although if you haven’t got tickets then good luck to you – since both shows are sold out! You can join the waiting list here. The artist will also embark on a tour across the US starting this autumn.

It’s been a stellar year for LA-based artist Emei. After the immense success of ‘Scatterbrain’ (which has so far picked up almost nine million streams), this emerging talent returns today with another massive bop called ‘Irresponsible’.

The track treats listeners to an eccentric mix of electronica, pop and UK-inspired drum and bass. The resulting sound is one which is fast-paced, energising and irresistibly moreish. As with most of Emei’s releases, you’ll find yourselves playing this on repeat for a good while – we’re pretty sure of it!

‘Irresponsible’ is lifted from Emei’s upcoming sophomore EP, which is scheduled for release soon. We really can’t wait to see what this talent comes up with next, but something tells us it’s going to be amazing…

Alt-pop star Emei is back with yet another showstopper release.

On the surface, ‘Scatterbrain’ comes across as any other pop song that you’d expect… up until that chorus hits and takes you by surprise.

This is a song that delights and intrigues you to the point where you’ll have it on loop for the rest of the day. And it’s probably the reason why the track has already gone viral, surpassing more than three million views on social media.

Both lyrically and sonically, the ‘Scatterbrain’ was created as a way to reflect the mind of someone with ADHD, and incorporates Emei’s quintessential ‘brain-tingle’ moment.

“So proud of this one it sounds exactly like my brain it’s everything I can’t even express how excited I am.”

Emerging Chinese-American artist Emei rounds off her year with sensational new single that reminds us why this rising starlet should be on everyone’s radars.

Serving listeners with a punchy, gritty and raw mix of punk-rock and pop, ‘Backtrack’ is the kind of song that commands your attention from the moment you press play.

To date, Emei has accumulated millions of career streams, competed on Chinese Idol, performed on Dancing with the Stars of China and picked up praise from the likes of Earmilk Early Rising, Ones to Watch and Lyrical Lemonade.

Rising LA-based starlet Emei returns with an energising fusion of alternative pop and rock through the release of her new single ‘That Girl’.

Thanks to its catchy melody, this immensely enjoyable song details the all-too-relatable struggles we encounter when trying to motivate ourselves.

“[The song was] written on a whim after weeks of trying to keep a habit checklist and failing miserably. The pop rock inspired anthem encapsulates the energy of wanting so badly to be that girl who wakes up at 6am, goes on walks every morning, and drinks coffee black but never getting to that unattainable goal.”

Emei currently commands over 200k monthly listeners on Spotify, and has collaborated with the likes of Gnash, KiNG MALA and Jordan Lewis.
