The track is from the artist’s ambitious and creative new EP winona’s world

With the release of her brand new EP winona’s world, London-based alternative pop singer-songwriter Emma Bradley makes her first big leap as an independent artist, self-producing and releasing the collection of tracks independently since parting ways with her label and management team last year. The result is a collection of tracks that feels emotionally charged and meticulously crafted, delving into distinctive and intense territory that feels inspired.

A track that embodies this uniqueness and ambition is the EP’s focus single ‘bad apple’, a far cry from track’s like 2023’s ‘Renew Me’, instead showcasing a much more calculated and slow-burning sound that strives for a haunting sense of atmospheric tension. The track explores the macabre idea that the person or thing that that you love the most is the thing that could kill you, and the Tim Burton-esque feel and gothic tendencies do a really great job of bringing that idea to life and leaving a gripping impression on you as a listener.
