Emma McGann Shares New Single Teary Eyed

Teaming up with music legend Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park, Fort Minor) for addictive pop number ‘Teary Eyed’, Emma McGann has the world in the palm of her hand. Receiving support from Rolling Stone, Forbes Women, IQ Magazine and Audiofemme to name a few, Emma is a British songwriter best described as a force to be reckoned with. Combining infectious pop melodies with beautifully crafted songwriting, this songwriter refuses to be left in the shadows.

Speaking about the hypnotising new pop anthem, Emma shares, “Teary Eyed is about being blinded by our problems and anxieties and not reaching out when you know deep down you should. When you’re overwhelmed that way it’s hard to work your way through the chaos to understand why you’re feeling the way you are. And this song is about exactly that – wading through it all and realising that you might need to talk it out to a friend instead of holding it inside. I’ve battled those waves and it’s a pretty dark, isolated way to live. So this song is a reminder to myself and others to be conscious of where your heads at and to remember that reaching out IS the way out.”

Written one evening with a guitar in hand to help overcome an intense panic attack, Emma submitted it to Mike Shinoda who produced the track live on his Twitch livestream early in 2021 via his Shinoda Produce Me initiative. Released via X My Heart Records, “Teary Eyed” is a spacious, relatable pop single that uses jiving rhythms and poetic electric guitar melodies.

Unafraid to be vulnerable, McGann invites fans to get to know and understand the human being behind the songs via her popular daily livestreams. This format has spun her career into a steel web of community, with fans worldwide tuning in each day to her live performances from an immersive, neon jungle studio that encourages viewers to interact with the environment Emma is performing in.

Being one of the first artists in the world to pioneer this format as an indie artist, her music live streams have racked up over 11 million views to date. Her songs have gained her BBC Radio 1 airplay, main stage festival slots across the UK, nominations for US awards including iHeartRadio Music Award & 3 Shorty Awards – all as an artist waving the independent flag.
