EMEREE – “Eyesore”

With her new single Eyesore, Australian-born, UK-embraced artist EMEREE proves that revenge really can sound sweet — and dangerously addictive. Following the stellar reception of her UK debut Spring Cleaning, which earned her a loyal following and critical nods, she’s doubled down on the sass, the hooks, and the bite.

From the very first bar, Eyesore blends glossy R&B production with whip-smart pop instincts. The result is a “sugar-coated slice of pop revenge” that struts confidently into the earworm hall of fame. EMEREE’s four-octave range isn’t just a party trick here — she layers harmonies with precision, delivers silky runs with ease, and wields her vocals like a stiletto blade. The chorus is lethal in its catchiness, and the lyrics drip with tongue-in-cheek venom. It’s petty, it’s polished, and it’s utterly irresistible.

Sonically, the single sits in the space between Sabrina Carpenter’s playfulness, RAYE’s R&B sophistication, and Mark Ronson’s retro-pop sheen. Co-written and co-produced with Christian Tjandrawinata, Eyesore is polished without losing its personality — a tight, self-aware pop moment that knows exactly how good it looks walking away from the wreckage.

The accompanying DIY video leans into camp horror — all vintage styling, 80s B-movie flair, and a cheeky hint of murder. It’s a visual that amplifies the track’s playful danger, showing EMEREE as both a sonic and visual storyteller.

Fresh from The Great Escape and collaborations with industry heavyweights like Invisible Men and Eg White, EMEREE is stepping into a new era — one where her producer chops, lyrical sharpness, and live charisma collide. Named one of NME’s Top 100 Artists to Watch in 2025, she’s already set to share stages worldwide and work with Nile Rodgers, proving her momentum is far from a fluke.

Eyesore isn’t just a breakup anthem — it’s the sonic equivalent of a red lip, a perfect hair flip, and a slow-motion exit while the metaphorical fire rages behind you. Stylish, smart, and savagely catchy, it cements EMEREE as one of pop’s most exciting new provocateurs.

Rating: ★★★★½ – Pure pop vengeance, wrapped in a killer hook.
