Emma Philine’s debut EP ‘HURRICANE’ dropped today, and it’s a stern reminder not to feed into what society tells you. The standout track, titled ‘Running out of Time’ (perhaps her most intense creation yet), blends urgent hyper-pop beats with suffocating soundscapes creating a raw, expressive anthem that couldn’t be more relevant today. With societal expectations and a constant push for productivity, creating an illusion that time is slipping away, this, combined with blatant corruption, has created a worldwide mental health crisis, also explored in the song’s lyrics with haunting reflections on depression that will resonate deeply with anyone feeling the crushing pressure our current ways of thinking can have…
Sparked by a dystopian beat from Novalu, an experimental DnB producer from Leipzig, the haste of the tune matches the album’s aesthetic and music video perfectly, a zero-budget production shot with the help of creative friends and the Ostpassage Theater which underscores this creation’s powerful message. Emma’s theatrical performance, enhanced by simple wind machines and evocative lighting, highlights the impact of passion and creativity over budget. This release not only showcases Emma Philine’s artistic vision but also encourages aspiring artists to pursue their craft regardless of financial constraints (we can relate), and it’s well worth a watch when it lands on June 14th.
