Women’s fight to be treated with respect and equality has invaded society, including music. If you don’t believe it, ask EMM or just listen to her new album “BLACK DIAMOND.”
This 10-track musical project is a bold statement that challenges norms and exposes the hypocrisies of a system that has historically silenced women. With a mix of camp, provocation, and a deeply political message, EMM invites us to confront our own prejudices while immersing us in a visual and sound world that leaves no one indifferent.
“BLACK DIAMOND” is, in essence, the embodiment of a supervillain. But not just any villain; she is the one that society has created by stigmatizing women who dare to be powerful, complex, and authentic.
Through her music, EMM reclaims traits often vilified in women and turns them into weapons of empowerment. The album doesn’t just speak to misogyny; it lays it bare, names it, and confronts it head-on in a cathartic and even uncomfortable way.
EMM is a multifaceted artist—singer-songwriter, producer, performer, and women’s advocate. As a classically trained multi-instrumentalist and self-produced artist, she crafts every aspect of her music, from instruments to lyrics, creating a sound uniquely her own. EMM has self-funded her career through lucrative brand deals, showcasing her independence and determination.
Beyond her musical talent, EMM’s message resonates deeply. Having overcome a challenging past, she connects authentically with her fans, particularly young women. Through her platform “Emmpowerment,” she has created a space where young women can feel seen and heard, something she herself longed for during her youth marked by eating disorders, abuse, and an oppressive religious upbringing.
The album’s aesthetic is as impactful as its message. EMM uses imagery associated with horror, the demonic, and the supernatural to reflect how society perceives women who challenge the status quo, while these same qualities, when exhibited by men, are celebrated and even revered.
The irony of the production is palpable, and EMM explores it with admirable intelligence. As a highly functioning autistic woman, her ability to spot patterns of behavior and prejudice allows her to address these issues with unique clarity.
Musically, “BLACK DIAMOND” is a production masterpiece. EMM sings, produces, writes, and plays every instrument, demonstrating a technical mastery that sets her apart in an industry where only 3% of producers are women. Her voice, powerful and full of nuances, navigates between melodies that range from the dark and experimental to the most accessible pop, creating a sound that is as eclectic and unique. “BLACK DIAMOND” is a call to action, an invitation to question what we have normalized and to imagine a more just world.
