The track is the first release from an upcoming new EP from the artist.
On her latest single ‘Garden’, rising artist Emma Noren showcases the soft lushness of her sweet indie pop sound, with similarly alluring and quietly powerful writing to match, making for a truly compelling and rewarding listening experience.
The track explores the dreams that the artist had growing up, things like having a big garden and a good life, and reflecting on how life turned out to be a little different to how she expected, and how there is maybe more to life than just material things and possessions to base your success on. There is something instantly endearing about the track and the artist’s candid, thought-provoking lyrics, with the breezy, laid-back melodies and uplifting style making for an immersive, summery single that is packed full of easygoing appeal and charm throughout, highlighting the deftness of the artist and the winning, likeable personality that she is growing known for.
Says Noren, “Garden is this metaphor for all of my biggest, most embarrassing dreams – everything I want to do and be – and me shaking myself by the shoulders to wake up and realize that what I have and who I am now is actually pretty cool. As a kid, I fantasized about having a big garden of my own when I grew up, but I ended up living in a bunch of places that didn’t have room for one. Instead I got a bunch of other amazing things: a dog named Flapjack, a girlfriend, some really killer friends. So the message of Garden is maybe what I got was better than what I thought I wanted. It represents this intimate, torturous obsession that I have with the future and the unattainable, and attempts to bring me back to reality. It’s intended to be a bit of a soft slap on the cheek, a push to focus on what’s right in front of me and how beautiful it is, and a gentle reminder that we have time to grow and get there on our own time.”
