Emma McGrath - Keep Your Eyes Open

 

It is a very nice discovery that we are offering you today. Emma McGrath is releasing today her 2nd EP, " Silent Minds Part II " (among a series of 3), from which this song is extracted. The near London-based artist started writing his own songs ... at the age of 12! And the writing theme of it is quite original since it is about social networks, on which the artist has a very pronounced and very mature opinion for his age. Indeed, as she confides, " In a way, social media frees us because it makes all information available, but it also confines us because it can get you stuck in a cycle of comparing you with others. and leave yourself open to the unfiltered opinions of others. "

This problem of constant comparison with others is such that, you may have heard of it, Facebook (and therefore Instagram too, which belongs to it) is considering removing the notion of "Like" for the pages. It will soon no longer be possible to see how many "Likes" a page or a post has. Because at a time when everything is managed by money, social networks unfortunately no longer have much social, and the race for likes has turned everything upside down. We see it every day, in the digital promotion of artists. And it's pretty scary.

In any case, in this new song, Emma tries to open her eyes to a civilization which swears only by the image, very often virtual, that is conveyed on these networks. And the artist is not at his first attempt, music level. She managed last year to place two singles, " Other Side " and " Fall With You " in several Spotify "New Music Friday" playlists around the world. Logical continuation of the EP " Silent Minds " released in 2018, and that we invite you to discover, Emma returns with her delicate lyrics.

Very well written, fragile and beautiful as lace, the artist highlights his writings with an extraordinary voice and impressive vocal abilities. “Keep Your Eyes Open” is no exception. The song exudes a fairly powerful emotional force, carried by a perfectly mastered guitar, a punchy bassline and solid and catchy choruses. The bridge, before the final chorus, is a delight where Emma reveals the full extent of her vocal mastery.

Another artist that we will follow closely in 2020, because she could have some great surprises in store for us. Ah! We almost forgot. She is only 18 years old ;)
