EMEREE Delivers a Sharp, Unapologetic Pop Revenge Anthem with ‘Eyesore’

Australian artist EMEREE emerges from the shadows of her rising acclaim with Eyesore, a track that cuts deep with its blend of polished R&B production and razor-sharp lyricism. Following the well-received UK debut single Spring Cleaning, EMEREE’s latest offering feels like a confident step into a new era—one where wit, edge, and vulnerability coexist with unapologetic flair.

Co-written and produced alongside Christian Tjandrawinata, Eyesore is a tightly woven confection of sugar-coated vengeance. Its infectious melodies and layered harmonies are paired with tongue-in-cheek lyrics that channel the bitterness and empowerment of a breakup anthem, but with a playful venom rarely heard in contemporary pop. EMEREE herself frames it as “an anthem for anyone who’s ever dated someone who treated them horribly and just wasn’t hot enough to get away with it,” a sentiment delivered with biting wit and undeniable charisma.

The track’s production walks a careful line between silky R&B grooves and glossy pop sheen, with vocal runs and stacked harmonies reminiscent of contemporaries like RAYE and Sabrina Carpenter, while nodding to the soulful authenticity of Amy Winehouse. This fusion not only demonstrates EMEREE’s vocal versatility but also highlights her prowess as a multi-instrumentalist and producer, crafting a sound both modern and timeless.

Visually, Eyesore’s DIY music video elevates the single’s storytelling, marrying vintage aesthetics with 80s horror camp and a narrative twist that underscores EMEREE’s talents beyond the sonic realm. It’s a vivid extension of the track’s themes—sharp, witty, and theatrical.

Emerging from an intense period of UK sessions with industry heavyweights and recently signed to CAA, EMEREE is poised for significant international impact. With accolades from NME and Splice, and an ever-growing fanbase, she embodies the new wave of artists redefining what it means to be a woman and producer in today’s music landscape.

Eyesore is a fearless declaration of power, wrapped in venomous charm. EMEREE’s voice is one to watch, not just in Australia but across the global stage.
