Onstage is where Emily comes alive and people take notice. Emily’s recent performance at BergenPAC in New Jersey opening up for Rick Springfield left the audience buzzing “who is this girl?” Her performance chops come from her pursuit of musical theater. In her senior year of high school she played the role of sultry-tawdry Evelyn Nesbit in “Ragtime”. She makes her first appearance from a swing elevated 20 feet above the stage wearing fishnet stockings, a red dress with a long slit to her thigh and black camisole. From that moment all eyes are on her. She opens her mouth, recites her lines, and breaks into song in full diva character commanding the stage. That’s the "IT" factor Emily brings to her music and permeates who she is. A test music video was shot for “I Don’t Wanna Fall In Love”, a powerhouse ballad that allows Emily to showcase her vocal aptitude. Emily decided to portray a 1940’s torch singer tormented over love gone awry. The treatment places Emily in a nightclub engaged in a classic performance of the song.
She combines her theatrical prowess with modern day sensibility. Urban Melodic decided to leak the single first on iTunes because the label wanted to establish Emily as a true singer and that be the first impression people get about Emily. The song itself is about a real life situation, a recent dilemma about a guy she’s desperately in love with, yet his head is stuck in the sky and isn’t paying attention to the signs she’s in love with him. Emily finally comes to her senses and realizes she has to let it go. In conclusion she questions how love makes you act and think irrationally. “Love leaves you with all these feelings and emotions that you just don’t know what to do with them. But I’ll never give up on love.” More....
