Imagine the concert of singer-songwriter aesthetics with the extravagance of pop rock and evocative rhythms. That’s the energy and emotional dynamism that Emily Ricks brings to her music. An of vulnerability and intimacy swirled into dramatic melodic moments. What’s most charming is the raw candor and naked authenticity of her narratives. She doesn’t shy away from being transparent.

It is so incredibly human that you can’t help but instantly resonate with it.
Her honesty is all in her vocals. Like Miley Cyrus, there’s little to no filter when she sings. It’s all laid bare, her feelings coating her song. Even as she bids farewell to her youth, she passionately wants it back. She celebrates it in light of the hard times she’s having as an adult. Contemplating choices that led to where she is, and wanting to stay blissful in ignorance. And the soundscape is matched to elevate her many moods, thoughts, and emotions. The pop rock is perfectly matched to carry the dual dimensions of the theme. Listen Now!
