Fresh off the back of a sold-out national tour supporting Paris Paloma, Australian artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist EMEREE unveils her soulful new single ‘Prominence’. The song arrives just ahead of her debut London show — a full-circle moment for a song written and produced in the city last year with Simon Byrt.

EMEREE channels the emotional undercurrent of constant movement and ambition. The song explores the limbo of building a creative career while feeling personally unanchored — from crying on hostel floors, hand-making merch just before walking on stage, and performing choreographed routines with costume changes to sticky rooms with 20 people in them.

Sonically, ‘Prominence’ leans into warm, introspective UK soul-pop. Built around spacious drums, restrained bass, and layered harmony stacks, the production favours feel over flourish — leaving room for tension to sit in the gaps. EMEREE’s controlled vocal delivery, effortless whistle register and subtle R&B phrasing place her in conversation with artists like Olivia Dean and Cleo Sol, while maintaining a distinctly self-produced intimacy.

EMEREE explains that after a turbulent few years of loss and grief, she really confronted her coping mechanisms of diving into work and avoiding her problems. “I wrote ‘Prominence’ the day I was getting on a train to Paris. I realised I’d been using movement as a coping mechanism,” EMEREE says. “If I was travelling, writing, building something — I didn’t have to sit still long enough to feel what I’d been avoiding. ‘Prominence’ came out in one stream of consciousness because, for the first time, I wasn’t trying to outrun anything. I was just letting it surface.”
