EMEREE Turns Petty into Pop Perfection on 'Eyesore'

EMEREE crafts miniature worlds where revenge is sweet, hooks are lethal, and every lyric lands like a smirk you can hear. On 'Eyesore', the Australian artist swaps the soft introspection of last year’s Spring Cleaning for something sharper and shinier: a sugar-coated kiss-off wrapped in lacquered R&B production and delivered with the kind of poise that turns petty into high art.

"It’s the anthem for anyone who’s ever dated someone who treated them horribly and just wasn’t hot enough to get away with it."

Co-written and produced with Christian Tjandrawinata, 'Eyesore' is all light-touch percussion, stacked harmonies, and vocal runs so clean they feel weaponised. There’s a lineage here; Sabrina Carpenter’s razor wit, RAYE’s layered pop-R&B sophistication, but EMEREE makes it her own, slipping venom between syllables and smiling through every sting. The single’s DIY video turns the mood visual: part camp 80s horror, part glossy fashion editorial, ending in a twist that toes the line between metaphor and murder. It’s proof she can tell a story as vividly on screen as she can in the studio.

It’s been a year of momentum for EMEREE; a breakout Great Escape set, sessions with the likes of Invisible Men and Eg White, and a hand-picked spot at New York’s Anti Social Camp before heading into the studio with Nile Rodgers. That trajectory isn’t slowing. With 'Eyesore', she leans fully into her fearless, irreverent pop era: the lipstick is red, the knife is sharp, and the fire in the rear-view mirror is still burning.
