St. Louis, MO – Emerging artist EmmyLou released her latest single, “Still Waiting.” The track perfectly encapsulates the suffocating nature of unrequited love and the painful realization that sometimes, no matter how much you hope for reconciliation, the other person has already moved on. “Still Waiting” is now available to stream and download worldwide.
“Still Waiting” captures EmmyLou’s raw, unfiltered emotions as she confronts the heartache of her first major breakup. The song explores the complex and torn feelings she experienced after the end of a relationship with her first girlfriend, someone she believed she would marry. “I thought I was going to marry this girl, and even after we broke up, I saw her in everything,” EmmyLou reflects. “I wrote this song while I was in a place of waiting for her to realize that we were meant to be together, despite the toxicity of it all.” The lyrics vividly describe the constructing feelings of longing and heartbreak as she watches her ex-girlfriend move on, dating other people while she remains trapped in the sentimental aftermath. “It was incredibly painful watching her live her life without me, and I was still torn up over her and what I thought we had. ‘Still Waiting’ is essentially a plea, a desperate hope that she would see that I was still waiting for her.” Produced by Hudson Watts, the song’s haunting, hypnotic synths, and aching melodies intensify the sensitive weight of the lyrics, making it a gut-wrenching listening experience.
From a young age, EmmyLou was immersed in music. She began taking classical piano lessons at the age of three and later pursued vocal training, honing her talents early on. Throughout high school, she took center stage as the lead in musical theater productions and played piano in various ensembles. In college, EmmyLou majored in music technology, further expanding her skills as both a vocalist and keyboardist while touring with a band. Her love for 80s pop was sparked by her grandfather, who introduced her to iconic artists from the era, inspiring her to blend those influences into her own sound. As a proud lesbian artist, EmmyLou is deeply passionate about advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and visibility through her music and platform.
