Emma Taylor and The Wallflowers are a dreamy pairing, bringing together elements of folk, dreampop and indie to create their unique sound. Receiving recent attention from the likes of BBC Introducing and performing at their first festival in May are some highlights from an incredible summer this group have had, and now to say a fond farewell to those sunny days is their latest single ‘Forget Me’.
Released on the 24th of August, ‘Forget Me’ welcomes the transition from summer to autumn with its cozy and nostalgic feel. With rich, whispery vocals that are simultaneously dreamy and grounded, Emma Taylor paints vibrant imagery with her poetic lyricism of sweet, intimate moments and the bittersweetness of looking back on them longingly from a distance. The Wall Flowers complement this beautifully with their dynamic instrumentation, rooting the song in delicate strokes of acoustic guitar but gradually swelling into cinematic highs bursting with emotion from airy synths, dainty percussion and ethereal harmonies.
