Derrick Ah Sam Emmavie's production is always superb, with layers upon layers of subtlties, her choruses & adlibs always pop and it feels like there's always something happening or moving. Everything feels VERY intentional in the best possible way; never just a stale singing over a beat vibe. Out of all the joints on this new project, Trick Me feat Kojey is just effing magic. It BANGS and on a short list to one of our my best songs of the year. Favorite track: Trick Me.
The Session

The Session It's hard to say which is the favorite. But, this track Spirit Traveller is ridiculous from the Alfa Mist intro, to the crazy bassline and wild vocal harmonies and key changes. -- EVERY track is gas though and fully produced by Emmavie?? siccckkk. much love fam Favorite track: Spirit Traveller.

Treat me nice Make me never wanna leave Tell me nothing but Sweets nothings ‘til I fall asleep And hold me tight You better Make it cut me deep Intoxicate me Make me feel like royalty My body’s yours My money’s yours My heart is yours You’re the cause Give me the cure I need a course If you’re the source I feel your force You put the sun in my eyes Feed me a little more lies Trick me a little bit Just a little Get me a little more high Show me the time of my life Trick me a little bit Uh Tell me lies Please don’t let me see I like it when I’m left to hide Behind my ecstasy I’m hypnotised Is that your specialty Well then initiate me I’m gonna let you take *RAP (Kojey Radical)* Will this ship sink if I rock the boat Feel like routine when I cum I go She told me to act like I’ve done this before If you’re gonna lie baby lie to me slow Man I think I love her I love her I do If she need a ring on it I’m saying I do Doo wap doo wap That WAP can burst pipes Forbidden fruit is wrong but tastes nice Taking a bite still Red or the blue pill In case we get too real And we get the mood killed We touch oo chills Make flicks don’t do chills I might be a cheap date But never a cheap thrill Plenty of old skills Plenty of free will Outside I play shit The inner me freak freak No I never kiss and tell coz she love when I don’t speak Tell her bite the pillow so neighbours can have peace Peace You put the sun in my eyes Feed me a little more lies Trick me a little bit Just a little Get me a little more high Show me the time of my life Trick me a little bit

So nice You must be a trap Gonna leave me with a soul tie You’re the type To put my head mess When I’m tryna get dough right Oo you’re so nasty I can’t let you pass me I know you’re gonna leave me hurt Ain’t that how temptation works Tell me what you even do Are you gambling on your attitude I see you got a body but Why you tryna hypnotise With your figure and your pretty eyes Make me spend my money up (Money up) I just wanna make my cash Please don’t make me move too fast Falling like an avalanche Oh (Money up) I just wanna make my stacks I don’t wanna take a chance You just wanna kiss and cuddle Please don’t make me call in sick Coz the way this **** is feeling I might have to call and quit Cancel meetings cancel sessions Scented candles sex obsession If I question any second Use your body like a weapon You like how you’ve got my pockets sweating Swear you’re potent like palm wine, baby You’re not part time, baby In a flash make spend my money And you think it’s funny Ohhh Ooo you’re so fancy Tell me what’s your plan b Come on let’s be frank You’ve got me calling up my bank (Money up) I just wanna make my cash Please don’t make me move too fast Falling like an avalanche Oh (Money up) I just wanna make my stacks I don’t wanna take a chance Tell me what you even do Are you gambling on your attitude I see you got a body but Why you tryna hypnotise With your figure and your pretty eyes Make me spend my money

about

Emmavie reveals her EP ‘What’s A Diamond To A Baby’. Self-produced by Emmavie herself, except previous single ‘Uh Huh Okay’ produced by ROMderful, Emmavie fuses digitally produced future R&B sounds and live instrumentation on the seven-track EP. Features come from the lyrical stylings of East London rapper Kojey Radical, multi-talented jazz musician Alfa Mist and hip hop legend Phonté on lead track ‘Be Mine’, plus many more.

Always expressing the most complex parts of herself through making music, speaking about the EP Emmavie explains; “What’s A Diamond To A Baby’ is a capsule. I wanted to capture a moment that would have people hear me both as how they’ve come to know me and how they’ve never heard me before. The brief was sexy and playful so I captured this in a range of sounds and ideas, shifting gears between contemporary R&B styles, whilst still honouring my signature sound and my biggest inspiration, love. I set the tone opening the project with the naughtiest song on the EP, ‘Trick Me’ featuring Kojey Radical, letting listeners know we’re diving straight in at the deep end”.

Emmavie is a recipient of the PPL Momentum fund and this release is supported PPL UK, Spotify UK, Creative Scotland, Arts Council of Wales, Welsh Government, Arts Council of Northern Ireland.
