Rumia returns with her new single, ‘Emergency’, alongside an electric new music video.

‘Emergency’ blends trip-hop with raw instrumentals and classic jazz sounds. A call-and-response to Frank Sinatra’s ‘It Was A Very Good Year’, the track is written from the perspective of the girl Sinatra sings of. Both sonically and lyrically, the track nods to the past while being firmly rooted in the present, fusing soundscapes of longing and expansive storytelling. The Berlin-based singer delves deep to draw from her own experiences of mental health struggles, crafting a character that yearns for human connection and escape.

On the track, Rumia shares, “I feel deeply connected to this song because it reflects my personal experiences with mental health struggles and the search for solace. There’s a strong sense of introspection and vulnerability in it, and I’m proud of how it blends different musical eras to create something both meaningful and timeless. For me, this song is not just an emotional expression, but also a creative achievement.”
