Her genre-defying electronic pop-punk sound serves as a “bridge<br />between reality and the ethereal galaxy,” crafting immersive soundscapes that blend<br />nostalgia with emotionally resonant lyricism. Her latest single, “One Soul,” is a synth-<br />driven reflection on the timeless pull of soul connections.<br /> <br />“One Soul” is introspective and cosmically expansive, layering atmospheric electronic<br />production while maintaining a striking sense of intimacy. From the moment it begins,<br />the track’s warm melodic foundation envelops listeners in the world of Aura of Embers.<br />As Emily’s vocals emerge, they explore the strength of soul connections and the kind of<br />recognition that defies explanation, a feeling you simply know when it’s real.<br /> <br />“I think a lot of people can relate to the feeling of connecting with someone almost<br />instantly, and even after years apart, still knowing there’s something real there.<br />Something bigger than you, and bigger than the circumstances surrounding it. I wanted<br />to give voice to those feelings people already recognize within themselves.” she said.<br /> <br />For Emily, sculpting a reality-bending soundscape that breathes atmosphere into these<br />powerful lyrics is paramount and deeply embedded in her creative DNA. Her production<br />fuses indie electronic and synth-pop with pop-punk elements to create a hybrid genre<br />that calls back to her musical upbringing, drawing influence from artists such as Tycho,<br />blink-182, Angels &amp; Airwaves, Paramore, and CHVRCHES, ultimately forming an<br />identity that feels boundless and fully realized.<br /> <br />“For me, the music always starts with the synthesizer or the keyboard. I’m especially<br />drawn to vintage synths because they impart a timeless quality and character. I tend to<br />capture strong melodic ideas quickly and use them to create the emotional scaffolding<br />of the song, with the vocals arriving either shortly after or simultaneously. From there, it<br />becomes a conversation between the keyboard and the bass, which I use to help<br />transport listeners into a different world. I want to convey a sense of warmth through the<br />music.” she noted.<br /> <br />The cohesion between evocative lyricism and production gives the music of Aura of<br />Embers a strong cinematic quality. As the melodies and lyrics dance with one another,<br />listeners may find themselves wrapped in what Emily calls a “gravity blanket,” creating a<br />sense of immersion and stillness that feels tender and transportive.<br /> <br />“If I can create a moving emotional piece without words, I know that when I add words<br />to it, it’s going to resonate with someone.” she said.<br /> <br />Emotional resonance sits at the heart of the world of Aura of Embers. The name came<br />to Emily upon reflecting on her own life and the trials she has navigated along the way.<br />While she recognizes the weight of those experiences, she also understands their<br />purpose. This became the source of the “Embers” portion of the name, inspired by the<br />mythology of the Phoenix and the transformative power of rebirth.<br /> .To reach your full potential, there are parts of you that have to die so you can be<br />reborn and rise from the ashes. These could be elements of your perspective, and in<br />order to gain a new part of your identity, you had to move through those trials. I feel like<br />I’ve been forged by fire through what I’ve experienced, and I know others can relate to<br />that.” she shared.<br /> <br />Emily’s first single, “No Stopping You,” channeled outward expression, an anthemic<br />statement rooted in empowerment and resilience. In contrast, “One Soul” turns inward,<br />serving as a sonic counterpoint to the outspoken tone of “No Stopping You.”<br />Collectively, they highlight the musical range and textural nuance of Aura of Embers.<br /> <br />“The first single was about motivating and standing as an anthem of perseverance. This<br />single turns totally inward and is deeply reflective. Together, they begin to illuminate the<br />different threads of the tapestry that is Aura of Embers.” she expanded.<br /> <br />Through its layered production and atmospheric depth, Aura of Embers draws listeners<br />into a realm steeped in tenderness and otherworldly resonance.<br /> <br />“One Soul” by Aura of Embers is available on streaming services now.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support</a>.
