Emily Chambers x Stoop Kids – Cicadas [Single + Video]

In a collaboration with the New Orleans-based band Stoop Kids, singer-songwriter Emily Chambers sings about troubled love and sleepless nights in her new song “Cicadas.” The song’s title refers to the fact that, like those annoying insects whose buzzing can keep us awake all night, certain people from our past are still able to interrupt our peace of mind at all hours of the day. Emily and company conjure up this feeling of bittersweet acceptance throughout the song by building up this aromatic mix of soul, funk, and hip-hop while soberly musing about the way we love, lose, and move on. Emily‘s sterling vocals are wistful and beguiling all at once, and the Stoop Kids add a layer of nonchalant coolness to the song that’s hard not to like. The video for “Cicadas” is an intimate, color-drenched affair in which Emily and her bandmates hang out on empty city streets in vintage rides from late night into the night until the early morning. Those who enjoy sleek neo-soul and soulful indie-pop will find a lot to like here, and ultimately “Cicadas” is a catchy tune that’s hard not to fall in love with.
