Emmy The Great has unveiled new single ‘Algorithm‘ from her forthcoming ‘Second Love’ album, due on March 11th. Check it out here.
The album is a worldwide labour of love, taking in Salt Lake City, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, New York and London, and follows last year’s ‘S‘ EP, which featured the entrancing ‘Swimming Pool‘.
“In 2013, in LA, I was optimistic about the world changing and rapidly advancing, but over time the optimism gave way to something more complex and fearful,” she says. “Technology and ideas which seemed entirely positive now feel equally as dangerous.”
“In all the uncertainty, I couldn’t say for sure whether this is Utopia or Dystopia or something in between, but for some reason it only made me more certain of one thing: that, wherever we’re heading, we’re going to need music, and we’re going to need love.”
“‘Second Love’ not only helped me reach this conclusion, it led me to almost every good thing that has happened to me in the last three years.”
