Coming out of Melbourne’s music scene, EMEREE is the artistic banner of Gabrielle Emery, a talented singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist who’s rapidly making a splash with her unique sound. Drawing inspiration from modern R&B fusion artists like RAYE and Cleo Sol, EMEREE’s music is a blend of classic soul influences like Amy Winehouse and modern, cutting-edge R&B rhythms.
Her self-produced tracks are brimming with Motown grooves and 90s R&B flair which are underpinned by her astonishing four-octave vocal range. In October last year she made her entrance with the debut single “Leave You Like a Man” and has since made a significant impression on the global music scene.
Her work has connected with listeners worldwide, clocking over 35 million streams on Spotify and millions of views on TikTok. Her music not only shines with its sonic qualities but also engages listeners with lyrics that explore into themes of sexual identity and female empowerment, presented with an addictive honesty that’s quickly become her trademark.
After dropping a string of well-received singles this year, she now brings us her latest release with her brand new single titled “Butterfly Boy.” This track is yet another epic display of her growing impact as an artist, bringing together edgy R&B rhythms with lush, modern pop elements and the rich, emotive qualities of gospel.
Started off with her silky vocals as the pulse of kick drum adds a steady rhythm, soft bass rumbles and intricate guitar flourishes set the grooving backing for her incredible voice to dance above. Bursting open with shimmering textures, lively bass lines and touches of gritty guitar, the track develops with a constantly shifting arrangement that keeps you hooked throughout.
Serving up another vocal masterclass, her extraordinary voice stacks overlapping layers to deliver an enthralling alternative R&B jam packed full of gripping rhythms and infectious melodies. Swelling to a rousing crescendo driven by crunching drums and immersive instrumentation, the song floats into a moment of dreamy bliss before the key change finale lays down one last dose of stabbing rhythms and fluttering vocals to leave a lasting memory of the sensational new single.
Commenting on the song, she shares, “Butterfly Boy is a celebration of confidence and self-expression. I wanted to create a song that feels both intimate and powerful, I pushed myself both with writing and production and I’m so proud of the result.”
