Pop/Review Em Ly - Sunlight
Em Ly is an Australian artist. She has two children and loves hiking and exploring rock pools with them. She's happiest when singing and floating in the ocean. Em is a passionate mental health advocate and takes inspiration from her lived experience of mental illness. Singing and writing lyrics is a therapeutic process.
"Sunlight" by Em Ly sounds like a fantastic release! It's great to hear that she collaborated again with co-writer Erin Clare, who has an impressive background in musical theatre, and producer Adrian Breakspear, known for his work with artists like Gang of Youths, CLEWS, and Johnny Hunter.
"Sunlight" as a laid back but vibey track with an upbeat feel sounds intriguing. It's always exciting when sound design elements are used creatively to enhance the overall musical experience, especially when they complement the artist's voice. The build-up towards a climax adds to the anticipation and emotional impact of the song.
The thematic elements of "Sunlight" are particularly relevant in the context of the pandemic. The idea of renewal and returning to normalcy after the chaos of such a challenging period resonates with many people. The joy and wonder associated with the summer season, as well as the freedom to embrace friends without concerns about COVID-19, evoke a sense of relief and optimism. The exploration of the yearning for freedom and hope for a better future taps into shared sentiments and emotions.
