EMMI IIDA, the multi-talented artist hailing from Hollola, Finland, is set to unveil her much-anticipated debut album, “The Eye,” on February 22, 2024, via EFG Records. The album marks a culmination of EMMI’s creative journey, featuring four previously released singles: “Blooming,” “Energy Guru,” “Trinity,” and “Higher Self.” Written by EMMI herself and co-written and produced by Jessica Sharman, the album showcases EMMI’s diverse talents as a musician, visual artist, and holistic interior architect.
With her music receiving acclaim from various publications and radio stations such as Wonderland Magazine, Notion Magazine, CLASH Magazine, and BBC 6’s Craig Charles, EMMI IIDA has established herself as a unique voice in the music industry. Her ethereal vocals and introspective lyrics explore themes of self-actualization, intimacy, cosmic meaning, love, empowerment, and spirituality.
“The Eye” offers a 14-track odyssey through EMMI IIDA’s sonic universe, blending crisp production with reverberant textures and trippy elements that defy traditional genres. Each track encapsulates a distinct mood and energy, ranging from the downtempo chillhop vibes of “Higher Self” to the sultry spoken word delivery of “Trinity” and the avant-pop anthem “Our Love,” featuring Bryce Green.
Reflecting on the album, EMMI IIDA shares that the creative process has been a healing journey for her, allowing her to navigate life’s challenges and transform setbacks into something beautiful. From the loss of a child to a recent divorce, EMMI channels her experiences into heartfelt music that exudes hope, happiness, and a profound sense of love.
As she prepares to perform at the Timeless Festival in Cape Town, South Africa, in April 2024, EMMI IIDA invites listeners to join her on a deeply spiritual sonic experience with “The Eye,” a testament to her resilience and artistic vision.
