The track is the latest addition to an incredible 2023 the artist is having.

Her colourful soundscapes and thoughtful lyrics have made Chinese-American alt-pop singer-songwriter Emei into a constantly rising star as of late, with each new release from the artist promising to be another endlessly creative and exciting journey into her unique sonic world.

The most recent of these is new single ‘Don’t Know About The World’, the closest thing that the artist has released to a straight up love song while maintaining her distinctive, left-field appeal and uniqueness. The warmth of the soundscape here and the nuance in the artist’s delivery makes for something that feels like a stylistic shift for Emei, holding onto everything that makes her feel exciting and distinctive while showcasing an alluring vulnerability and charm that we often don’t see. ‘Don’t Know About The World’ is a stunning showcase of a softer side to the artist and her sound, and one that continues to highlight just how diverse and special the artist is.

Emei describes the track as “a song about feeling safe and finding solace in that one person (or space or thing). I don’t often write about love, so finding a way to create a sappy authentic love song that still could live on this project was more difficult than you’d think. I wanted this single to be a bit of a left turn from my previous singles. I wanted the song to be a window into my emotional world,”
