Based out of Los Angeles, DIY pop artist and Toy Story 3 star Emily Ricks is back with her upbeat new single, “Can’t Catch Me”. This is not the first time that we have written a review of one of her songs, and you can probably see why from how upbeat her music is.
… avibrant, 2000s-inspired indie pop gem bursting with infectious energy and synths.
Growing up with new music in the late 2000s, I was exposed to a lot of vibrant and upbeat indie pop songs, and this reminds me of something from that era—something that, for example, The Ting Tings would have put out. It has got clean basslines, smatters of synths, strong female vocals, and an upbeat drive that will just have you moving your body in all shapes.
With Emily surpassing 1 million plays on her music on Spotify, this seems to just be the start of her music career. Over the last three years, she has been slowly but surely refining her sound into something that can get her tens of thousands of monthly listeners from all over the world.
Still in her 20s, Emily has plenty of time and is sure to be rising further up the festival billing list with every release. This new track is a shining example of how fun Emily’s music can be, so be sure to check this out and her previous singles as well.
