Emily Stranger is a super talented local musician and singer-songwriter. Her music is a cool mix of trip-hop beats, introspective lyrics, and powerful emotions that hit you right in the feels. In fact, she calls it “moody synth-alt-pop for ‘feelers,’ served with a side of angst.” When she performs, she really puts herself out there, drawing from her own experiences to create music that’s vulnerable and edgy at the same time.
Her music has a laid-back vibe with trip-hop rhythms, deep lyrics, and a simmering intensity that just gets to you. Her emotional depth and openness is delivered with a vocal style reminiscent of Billie Eilish. If you’re into bold and unconventional pop music, you gotta check out Emily Stranger.
Emily teamed up with producer David Miner back in 2015 to create their edgy electro-pop sound. The duo quickly caught the attention of indie record label Killroom Records, signing with them and releasing her debut EP, The Fix, in 2019. Since then, Stranger’s music has received national airplay and her EP was included on Easy Street Records’ top DIY sellers list.
Last year, Emily released her first full-length album, Labor of Love. The album’s first single, “Feel Good,” dives deep into the mix of thoughts and emotions we all have. Her latest single, “Devil In Me,” captures the struggle between our inner demons and desires; the conflict between making the right choice or giving into impulses.
Overall, Emily Stranger is a talented artist who uses her music to confront reality while trying to make sense of her feelings. She’s got a unique sound that’s won her a big following in the Pacific Northwest and beyond and definitely a local artist you’ll want to follow.
