Rumia returns with “Emergency,” a captivating new single that marries multiple genres within a song that elicits a sense of urgency and untamed emotion. Renowned for melding trip-hop, jazz, and experimental soundscapes in a sonic excess somewhere between the dark noir depths of Portishead, the gritty vibrancy of Chet Faker, and Radiohead, Rumia delivers an inferno of sound.
Packing an eye-popping music video, “Emergency” is a visceral artistic growth. “Emergency” features Rumia’s signature, tender-yet-powerful vocal style, webbed through futuristic, genre-bending, intimate, and cinematic production. Her gift for crafting a haunting setting, complete with heavy emotional tension, gives “Emergency” a distinctive inflection in her already illustrious trajectory.
A far cry from the UK-based artist born to Spanish and Portuguese parents, Rumia’s art is as globally minded as her burgeoning fanbase. Acclaimed worldwide for her unique voice, she is ready to share her refined sound with the audience with her upcoming three shows in Seoul that promise to astound further and excite the music scene and the audience alike.
“Emergency” is a manifesto from an artist unafraid to confront the very bounds of sound and feeling. Prepare to be hypnotized.
