Emanuel – ‘Worldwide’
About Emanuel
Emanuel’s musical journey is inexorably tied to his upbringing. “Black Woman”, the lead single from Emanuel’s second EP Session 2: Transformation, is a love letter to the Black women in his own life and around the world. “I was singing about my mom when I was writing it,” Emanuel says, “and it branched off into me thinking about a more unified view of how Black women have affected history and the communities around me.” Emanuel guides the song from a luxurious sparseness into a swirling orchestra, recognizing the unrecognized and assailed caretakers, providers and warriors as acts of God, and asks them to absolve him of his own shortcomings. Instead of choosing to preach, Emanuel humbles himself before the listener, his voice a diamond-tipped tool that burrows into our heartstrings and consciences.

Distant Lovers – ‘Cross My Heart’
About Distant Lovers
Distant Lovers is the musical project of San Francisco Bay Area-based musician Alex Lasner. The project began taking shape in his head while touring as a guitarist in the band Day Wave. Alex spent hours and hours staring out the van window at passing landscapes, pondering the present, reflecting on the past, and making plans for the future. He began translating those feelings into melodies and music on an ‘80s Casio keyboard at his Brooklyn apartment in-between tours. After relocating to Los Angeles in pursuit of a final spark of inspiration, he settled in Northern California and began recording songs that functioned as an internal travelogue of his adventures and served as the basis for Distant Lovers.
