felonious-punk
Needy and the previous single, Only one, are stratospheric leaps for Molly Burch, even after 2 great albums that were also growth spurts. But here it's gotten so good, this single and the last could be contenders for best songs of 2020.
Favorite track: needy.
Austin singer and songwriter Molly Burch returns this new year with a fresh sound on “Emotion’’, a disco-tinged, dynamic shot of adrenaline produced by Captured Tracks label-mate Wild Nothing (Jack Tatum).
In January 2020, Burch headed to Tatum’s hometown of Richmond, Virginia, looking to write new material with a distinct pop sound and production in mind. Sharing some of her latest demos and a playlist of her favorite pop bangers with Tatum, they set out to make a heart-pumping dance track of their own. Soon after, Burch released her tantalizing cover of Ariana Grande's “needy”, giving fans an early taste of the pure pop bliss she would return to deliver on this latest cut.
On “Emotion”, Burch’s voice is as strong and masterful as ever, pairing a lighter, polished vocal performance - a surprising, but captivating departure from her signature smoky delivery - with Tatum’s compelling bass lines, beats, and shimmering synths. Burch says, “for me, the theme of the song is about feeling a spectrum of emotions, embracing that sensitivity, and using it as fuel to create something positive. “Emotion” is a celebration of being alive.”
