Emei Is Perfectly Okay With Never Being “That Girl”
When you wake up in the morning and your alarm goes off, are you the type to hit snooze or do you hop right out of bed? We see these influencers online that seem to have this amazing life—always dressed in the perfect outfit with perfect hair, talking about their detailed morning routine. It is great to have some structure, but Emei reminds us that if you struggle to keep up, don’t be so hard on yourself.
Emei's new single “That Girl” is a gritty, alt-rock tune all about embracing our imperfections. We are not always going to be the ideal version of ourselves and sometimes that is okay. She fiercely sings, “Wake up and it’s 2pm / Shit I missed my alarm again / Mascara stains on my pillow case.” Her soulful, sassy tone ascends over thrashing drums and grungy guitar, resulting in a piercing and passionate anthem.
"That Girl" 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 6 AM, goes on walks every morning, and drinks coffee black but never getting to that unattainable goal," shares Emei.
The Los Angeles-based Chinese American singer-songwriter has concocted an infectious pop-rock sound guaranteed to be your next addiction. Her unapologetic lyrics sung through rich, fiery vocals make her music so authentic and compelling. At only 15, she competed on Chinese Idol, reaching third place. The singer has held on to that unwavering dedication to her craft and that raw enthusiasm can be heard in full.
