Emily Mac’s new sophomore single “Kills Me To Love You” is a dark and powerful exploration of the aftermath of a toxic relationship. Produced by Dajaun Martineau, the gold-certified producer behind bands like Moist and Big Sugar, the track is a hard-hitting follow-up to Mac’s debut single “Whiskey Like Me”. The Toronto singer-songwriter’s soaring vocals and powerful delivery take centre stage, complemented by a climactic guitar solo from Ben Healey that adds a touch of 80s hard rock to the track.
Despite the intimate nature of the lyrics, Emily Mac’s empowering delivery and emphatic energy ensure that nobody would dare call her vulnerable. The track is a nod to classic rock influences while remaining distinctively modern, showcasing Mac’s ability to create a sound that’s uniquely hers. The song was recorded at Martineau’s home studio and Toronto’s Noble Street Studios, and the resulting sound is nothing short of stunning.
With her first two singles already racking up over 50,000 combined streams and listeners from over a hundred different countries, Emily Mac is making a name for herself in the music industry. She has performed at numerous festivals and venues throughout Canada and internationally, including the TD Toronto Jazz Festival, the Horseshoe Tavern, and New York City’s The Bitter End and The Rockwood Music Hall.
“Kills Me To Love You” showcases Emily Mac’s raw talent and emotional depth as a songwriter and performer. Her ability to explore difficult themes with honesty and authenticity while maintaining a fierce and powerful delivery is truly impressive.
The track is sure to resonate with listeners who have experienced the pain of a toxic relationship, while also providing a cathartic release and a sense of empowerment. Paired with the single is the new music video directed and edited by Paul Maxwell which features the artist in dark gothic scenes, perfectly reflecting the sentiments of the lyrics.
