Departure, the debut EP from emerging Danish artist Emi Wes is out now. The EP was produced by four-time Grammy-nominated producer and writer, Robin Hannibal, who’s best known for his work with Rhye, Quadron, Little Dragon and Kendrick Lamar. Listen to/share Departure here.
“This piece of work, Departure, has been on its way for a long long time. In those years creating it I became an adult and had to deal with challenges, like everyone else, at the same time some of my lifetime dreams were happening at the same time—signing a record deal with Interscope and having the best opportunity possible to create just what I wanted. I love to challenge myself and to write songs and expressing myself is a very natural coping mechanism for me. Working with Robin Hannibal is a partnership I cherish very deeply. I made an EP that I’m very proud of,” notes Wes.
In conjunction with the release, Wes’ video for her track “Where’s My Money” premieres on Alphabetical Order who proclaim, “Emi Wes is vulnerably powerful.” Watch/share the video HERE.
Early in her career, Wes immersed herself in the writing process, which enabled her to work with various Danish and foreign songwriters within diverse genres. These cross-genre experiences helped Wes develop the core of her musical foundation. Over the past year, Wes entered into a new collaboration with renowned producer Hannibal. The close partnership between the two morphed Wes’ current musical identity.
