Artist: EMILY GROGAN
Who: Multi-instrumentalist and songstress from
Boston who has 2 albums (so far) on her résumé.
Track: TELL YOUR FRIENDS
Press info: “For several years, Grogan had a song inside of her that was desperate to get out. But it was little more than a casual idea, narrated by her inner voice, dancing around her head, reminding her of our shared humanity and ability to persevere through difficult times. She had an edgy bass sound as the foundation, and an opening lyric that she just could not stop thinking about: “Tell your friends to make amends, ’cause everything is about to blow.”
Grogan: “The song came from feeling overwhelmed by the amount of chaos, division,
and fear happening around us. “I found myself pulling more inward this year, and in
those moments when I step back into the world, I see the external chaos from a
different perspective.
So much of what surrounds us seems built around fear;
fear that divides people, fuels greed, and creates suffering.”
TUTV: Grogan‘s puissant voice carries this alarming power ballad throughout
its riveting course, peaking on the imposing chorus. Think Alanis Morissette in her
early days. Enthralling and engrossing. The song’s melodramatic structure emphasises today’s grim times. People always found a way to survive, we need to succeed now
too, pronto. Tell your friends.
