“Fortune Cookies” reveals Libby Ember’s emotional depth and indie-folk flair

Meet Montreal-based 19-year-old singer-songwriter Libby Ember, who effortlessly blends indie-folk and pop with introspective storytelling.

Ember just released her raw and honest new single, “Fortune Cookies”—an emotional track that echoes the sounds of indie artists like Lizzy McAlpine, Phoebe Bridgers, and Leith Ross.

Built on a foundation of simple acoustic guitar strumming, the song lets Ember’s crisp vocals and heartfelt lyrics take center stage. 

Lyrically haunting, the song is written in a stream-of-consciousness style, where Ember practically begs to just be let down already—because it’s easier than holding on to hope in a fading relationship.

The first verse opens with a flood of questions that are honest, direct, and make you lean in closer to what she’s really saying beneath them all. 

The chorus more bluntly tells you where Ember is at emotionally: “Just reject me already. Just please ask me to go. Cause I can’t handle all the moments where you give me a moment anymore. Just tell me that I’m annoying just so I know for sure that you don’t want me around and I can leave it behind and close the door.”

On the meaning behind the track, Ember says, “Fortune Cookies is about that agonizing, in-between space of an unrequited crush—that feeling of preferring to be rejected outright over suffering the weight of uncertainty.”

All in all, “Fortune Cookies” is a palpable cry to be released from the exhausting back-and-forth of unrequited love—or from a slow burn that’s become too slow to bear. It’s a standout track that showcases Ember’s talent and leaves you eager for what she releases next.
