Emma Taylor and the Wallflowers present a gorgeous blend of Folk, Pop, and Indie in their new single ‘Forget Me’, its apt release on the cusp of autumn embodies the song’s wistful feelings and warm yet fresh aura.
Not a beat is wasted before the listener is immersed in Emma's gentle vocals accompanied by the equally soft strummed chords. Our captivation is held as the production gradually builds, peaking with the titular line “forget me”.
Nostalgia and longing punctuate the chorus and in its second iteration the song peaks, production decreasing slightly allowing the passionate pleads of Emma to take full focus before the returning instruments only increase the intensity of the emotions that bleed through the music and lyrics. Emma's claims of feeling “hopeless” are almost ironic as the song exudes possibility and a sweet nostalgia for lost or young love.
As only their third single, there is great anticipation for the future work of the group and an assured sense that Emma does not need to worry about being forgotten by us anytime soon.
