On Rotation: EMMA MILLER "JUST A FEELING"

Emma Miller, a UK-based folktronica artist, has released her latest single, "Just A Feeling," from her upcoming EP.

With a voice reminiscent of Maggie Rogers and influences like Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell, Miller delivers a powerful and moving vocal performance.

"Just A Feeling" features a rich, textured melody that blends folktronica with alt-folk elements. The track opens with atmospheric synths and evolves into a harmonious blend of hip-hop-inspired drums, courtesy of long-time producer Lucas Mendes and session player Daniel Kinde. The production sparkles with synth embellishments and arpeggiated sounds, creating a dynamic backdrop that complements Miller's poignant lyrics. The powerful layers of harmonies and playful experimentation with atmospheric details give the song a unique and captivating sound.

The song's lyrics explore the notion that emotions are fleeting, with lines inspired by the Scottish landscapes that surround Miller. Emotive lyrics like "I got to keep on telling myself, it's just a feeling, it's just a moment, keep on telling myself it will pass," showcase her talent for capturing complex emotions in simple yet powerful lines. Miller's vocals bring an added depth to the song, highlighting its emotional core and making it resonate with listeners on a profound level.

Emma Miller's "Just A Feeling" is a testament to her ability to craft emotionally charged music that resonates deeply with her audience. As she gears up for the release of her second EP, "Artifacts," and prepares for a special show at Gordon Castle’s 'The Walled Garden' in Morayshire, fans can look forward to more of her unique blend of folktronica and alt-folk.
