New York, NY (Top40 Charts) In an era starved for young Pop artists with something significant to share, singer/songwriter Em (Emily Wachspress) delivers with her music and her message in her latest album, "DEAR LIFE," a ginger breeze of mood, truth, and soulful Pop. "This album represents a big chapter in my life of growth and empowerment," says Em.
Following the crossover Pop and Urban successes of her thoughtful "Say What You Mean" single is a transfixing second offering entitled "Hear Your Love" concerning two lovers - eternally united no matter whether they may be physically apart or even separated by lifetimes. As with all of Em's songs, it is accompanied by an epic video.
"My family is from Russia so I'm taking it back to the mid to late 1800s where my mother country began to boom in the arts - our 'romantic' era.'
The lead single of "DEAR LIFE" was the dynamic "Say What You Mean" which was promoted with a sensually and supernaturally mesmerizing video helmed by Parris Mayhew. Em is dressed in a provocative gown, her raven hair streaked in white, deep red lipstick setting off bewitching green eyes and mystical elements such as ghostly clones, tarot cards and raindrops that turn to tears.
"'Say What You Mean' is about wanting someone to love me with every fiber of their being...to be as sure of our love as I am," she adds.
The title track "DEAR LIFE" speaks to the universality of trusting in a higher power. "It was inspired by a near-death experience," Em confesses.
