EMEI

Night at the Opera

£8.99

Released: 12th June 2026. A little drama never hurt anybody. EMEI knows how to bring it too. With a bold voice that's as vibrant as her personality, the New Jersey-born Chinese-American songstress delivers clever and catchy anthems meant to be blasted out loud. EMEI made major waves with 2022's 'Late to the Party', surging on TikTok and igniting her 'End of an Era' EP. However, she reached critical mass with the release of her single, 'Scatterbrain'. Touted as one of Spotify's 'Best Pop Songs of 2023', the title track eclipsed 71 million Spotify streams followed by 'Irresponsible' with 31 million Spotify streams. OnesToWatch christened her, 'one of the most promising alt-pop artists to watch'. Plus, she has incited the applause of Billboard, People, Wonderland., and Lyrical Lemonade in addition to BBC Radio 1 in the UK and Triple J in Australia. Spotify handpicked her as one of Pop Rising's 'Artists To Watch' for 2024. After gathering over a quarter-of-a-billion streams, selling out shows, and attracting multi-Grammy Award-winning mega-producer Ricky Reed to her corner, she embraces her theatricality on her 'Night at the Opera' EP.
