Back in the spotlight after earning acclaim for this year’s ‘All About Love’ EP, Emmy Meli today reveals a collaboration of a lifetime with CHIC legend and musical icon Nile Rodgers alongside the genre-breaking artist and producer Swindle (Kojey Radical, Knucks, Ghetts). The transatlantic trio have joined forces for Emmy’s new single ‘GREEN GRASS’. Listen HERE.
‘GREEN GRASS’ brings out the best in all three talents. The gilded vocal class of Emmy Meli delivers a feelgood lyric about overcoming life’s challenges and pushing forwards stronger than ever before. Her style is elevated by Nile Rodgers, his rhythmic guitar style instantly recognisable – from CHIC classics ‘Good Times’ and ‘Le Freak’ to his iconic Daft Punk collab ‘Get Lucky’. And Swindle’s production brings everything together – Emmy’s R&B, soul and jazz influences with Nile’s disco heart – with a pulsating, contemporary feel.
Emmy says, “‘GREEN GRASS’ is alchemy. It’s the feeling you get when all your worst fears come true and you can finally be free, the feminine feeling of planting seeds and growing flowers from mud because you are a phoenix that can always overcome – mixed with some violin and vocals that will transport you through space and time!”
As Emmy excels at crafting modern music with a nostalgic retro undertone, Nile Rodgers was naturally on Emmy’s bucket list when it came to a dream feature. As she notes, “It’s an honour to have such a legend on the track.” Swindle was their shared link, having producedEmmy’s ‘All About Love’ EP, and also being one of Nile’s regular creative collaborators.
Since releasing ‘All About Love’ in February, Emmy has been going viral for her jaw-dropping live performance of ‘OOH LA LA’ with Magnus Ferrell at the Blue Note in Los Angeles – plus a live performance in London’s Camden with DJ AG. It has been praised by a host of big names including SZA, Tash Sultana and Michelle Visage.
