RELEASES PROVOCATIVE NEW SINGLE

ANGELS ALL GUCCI


Following her recent release, ‘Stacks’, independent artist and actress, Emalia unveils the eagerly anticipated follow up single ‘Angels All Gucci’.

 

Emalia finished 2023 on a high with a standout performance in the Paramount+ drama, Paper Dolls where she played the lead role of Izzy James in all-girl group, Harlow.  Emalia knows first-hand the battles she faces as a real-life artist in today’s entertainment industry.

 

From the outside, fame can look so shiny, nice, and appealing but there can be a lot of abuse of power.  A lot of that is hidden and people don’t necessarily get to see how it affects the artists that are going through it.”

 

The sultry ‘Angels All Gucci’ is a reclamation of one’s voice and power. It’s a 90’s R&B inspired anthem that celebrates femininity and speaking one’s mind. The concept challenges the idea of what a ‘good girl’ is expected to be in society and rejects the notion it puts forward.

 

 

 

 

The track is a collaboration between female powerhouse song writers Emalia, Chelsea Warner and Nardean. “I hosted a writing camp to create my next project. The girls and I had so much fun writing this one in a little holiday home in Terrigal. ‘Angels All Gucci’ stood out instantly and was one of our favourites.”

 

Emalia is heavily involved in every aspect of the creative process of her career. From singer, songwriter to creative director, Emalia co-directed, styled and set designed the visualiser for the single.

 

Often while I am writing a song, I will see the visuals for it in my head. I see colours that correspond to the sonics and mood of the song, and the overall visual aesthetic that I feel represents it. When I sit down to develop it, I start with a Pinterest board to find the right references and I continue to build from there. I often see shot lists in my head.

 

I wrote up my treatment and pitched it to Kate Cornish, who I have worked with on previous visual projects in the past. I love her eye, and she is so supportive of emerging artists. She goes above and beyond. I was super grateful to work with her on this, she really brought the vision to life.  I was lucky enough to have the support from Australian jeweller, Simon Curwood who loaned me all the beautiful jewels including a Diamond double halo tennis necklace featuring 1.51ct cushion cut centre diamond, set in 18k white gold valued at $100,000, it was the perfect piece and an honour to wear!” Said, Emalia.

Adding “I wanted to create an ethereal and angelic aesthetic that juxtaposes the strength of the lyrics and sonics for both the cover art and visualiser. My dad and I created the cloud by hand over the course of two days. It was my first time set designing, and we had a lot of fun with it.  Long-time collaborator, Brianna Burford of Essencia Images shot the cover art, it was a real family affair!”

 

Emalia recently hit the road with her new single and played at the Poppin Out Music Festival along with headliners Sneaky Sound System and Cece Peniston in Adelaide.

 

I’m excited to get out and perform live again with this new material, I can’t wait to see how audiences react to them in a live setting.

 

 

Angels All Gucci’ is out now across all streaming platforms.
