Emily Bateman's latest release, Sixth Sense, marks a textural and tonal shift in her sound. A moody bossa nova-inspired track, Sixth Sense reflects on the quiet unraveling of a relationship. Driven by an electronic drum loop and layered, sultry vocals, Emily explores the fear and uncertainty of starting over.
The single is the fifth and final release from her upcoming second EP, due out in the coming months. Written solo at home on her acoustic guitar, Emily teamed up with collaborator Andrew Isdale to bring the track to life. The result is a minimal yet captivating production-combining electronic percussion, atmospheric effects, and a spacious arrangement that highlights Emily's vocals.
With multiple Spotify editorial placements under her belt, an opening slot at Auckland's Powerstation, and a sophomore EP on the horizon, Emily Bateman continues to carve out a name for herself in the city's thriving indie scene.
