Emma Blackery – Agenda

| Emma Blackery - Agenda |
Release Date: Out Now
Every time I see a picture of
Emma Blackery, I think of Sharon Horgan and then I think about what great, acerbic
pop music Sharon Horgan would make. And then I stop thinking and realise that
Emma Blackery is making great, acerbic pop music so I can just stop looking
around for something better. Blackery’s new single ‘Agenda’ starts with the bouncy
pop click of a Little Mix track but the lyrics give the game away immediately.
This might be sing-a-long pop with playground melodies that will burrow in to
your brain but the message is far more hard hitting and unapologetic as Blackery
makes clear that she’s not up for fitting a pigeon hole, performing a role or
doing what is expected of her by society or ‘the man’. So, music you can dance
and have fun to but an empowering message to give this a bit of substance. It’s
like Stock, Aitken and Waterman got to work with Patti Smith….or not.
