Emily Mulenga Releases Her Debut Single "Oliver": A Digital Age Love Anthem

Emily Mulenga has taken some time out of the gallery to spend it in the studio. Her debut single "Oliver" just came out and modern love is the central theme. Known as a visual artist with an international audience, Emily brings her creative vision to music now, crafting an electro-pop confession that's intimate and cinematic. Written, produced, and mixed entirely by Emily herself, "Oliver" is a raw and playful exploration of obsession, infatuation, and the constant pursuit of attention in the age of social media.

"Oliver" has a flirtatious and playful vibe. With its dark and atmospheric beats, that kind of production is the perfect background for Emily's vocals which draw listeners into a space of real passion. The lyrics tell the story of someone who's dealing with one-sided love, even going so far as to admit being a "simp" for Oliver. It's this dynamic between playfulness and vulnerability that makes the song impactful.

Beyond the infectious melodies, "Oliver" is also a testament to artistic rebirth. Emily’s visual storytelling background permeates each level of the song with a layered, cinematic quality. Her DIY, hands-on attitude, meanwhile, lends the song a raw quality that's typically lacking in overproduced pop. This is not only a new art for her, then, but an extension of her artworld, one in which music and image meet in hypnotic synesthesia.

And that's just the beginning as Emily Mulenga is planning to release a lot more music in the upcoming months and we're here for it.
