Preview: El Michels Affair declare Yeti Season
Excellent news from Big Crown HQ as EMA follow up 2020’s Adult Themes with Turkish via Mumbai cinematic styles.
Our first glance as these influences was 2018’s Unathi – guest vocalist Piya Malik (formerly of 79.5) actually appears across the album singing in Hindi. Shannon from The Shacks also appears to bring more vocal soul to EMA’s typically instrumental manifestations.
“When Piya started singing in Hindi, she had a different voice, a different tone. I knew we had to do something together.”
