Chinese American alt-pop singer/songwriter, Emei has released her new single, “That Girl” today. The rock-inspired song was “written on a whim after weeks of trying to keep a habit checklist and failing miserably,” Emei explained, “The pop rock inspired anthem encapsulates the energy of wanting so badly to be that girl who wakes up at 6 AM, goes on walks every morning, and drinks coffee black but never getting to that unattainable goal.”
The song, which perfectly embodies Emei’s cheeky songwriting and unique sound can be heard now below.
Even before she started writing, Emei developed incredible stage presence from her experience competing on Chinese Idol at 15. After receiving third place on the show through months of stadium shows, Emei began releasing her own music on Chinese platforms and eventually performing on Dancing with the Stars of China. When Covid hit, Emei started releasing new music on American platforms, gaining media coverage on Ones to Watch, Early Rising, and Lyrical Lemonade.
