If you need an emotional breakdown in between girls night out and cocktail meetings this summer, Emei's new single has got you covered.
While she details a perfectly put-together, idly tidy lifestyle with crawling chords in the 1st verse, the chorus of "That Girl," reveals it all. With snarky lyrics perfectly synced to beat drops and swinging drums, Emei has your emotions at her finger tips. "And I max out all my credit cards / Tryna' play dress-up to look the part / Now I'm just that girl who tries like / Way too damn hard," she sings frankly in the chorus. Using quick and spark-note fashion examples, Emei depicts this easily fallible ideal of an it-girl–and how even though she can be the furthest from this ideal, she's the girl you want on your radar.
The young Chinese-American singer/songwriter is conversational, candid and brutally honest. "That Girl," has lyrics that work the deepest psyche in your brain and a catchy melody you won't get tired of. Emei's r&b inspired singing skillfully combines glittery sweet with a slight twang of desperation with this cheeky combo of rock and pop.
