A Rhode Island born multi-instrumentalist who plays guitar and piano, EMELINE first broke through with her hit single “flowers & sex” — a 2021 release that reached #4 on Spotify’s U.S. Viral 50 chart, surpassed 10 million global streams within just eight weeks, and earned praise from outlets like Earmilk and PAPER. The rising artist and singer/songwriter recently shared her new single “99 boys” — a sublimely catchy track that interpolates Nena’s new-wave smash “99 Luftballons.” “99 boys” updates the 1983 classic for the modern era and delivers a brutally fun takedown of toxic male behavior.

The follow-up to EMELINE’s recent single “Iconique” — “99 boys” showcases her signature mix of raw emotion and spellbinding self-possession, the 25-year-old artist turns the track into a thrilling kiss-off to all the thoughtless boys she views as interchangeable (from the chorus: “At any bar on any night/I meet all of your lookalikes/Same tattoos and pickup lines/Vintage t-shirt, hazel eyes/You’re not special, you’re just a guy/Who I’ll replace in zero time”). Centered on her ever-captivating vocal work, “99 boys” ultimately serves as a perfect showcase for the fiercely outspoken point-of-view that’s propelled EMELINE to over 925 million global streams to date. EMELINE has earned raves for singles like “makeout with a stranger” (an exhilarating 2023 track that began as a “broken-hearted punk song” written on her guitar), “cinderella’s dead” (an early-2022 release that cracked the Top 20 on the Spotify Daily Viral chart, amassing over 680 million combined global streams to date), “this is how i learn to say no” (an iTunes top 10 hit that also climbed to #7 on the US Spotify Viral 50 chart), and “strut” (featured on coveted playlists like Pop Sauce, New Pop Picks, and SALT). While “Iconique” —a March release that scored a massive sync with Hulu’s much-buzzed-about Vanderpump Villa —found her working with Charli XCX collaborator Mike Wise to create a quirked-up, French-pop-inspired stunner she described as “made for anyone who is ready to embrace their multiplicity.” An essential new voice for all those navigating the minefield of sex and love in the modern world, EMELINE is currently at work on more new music driven by her mission of uplifting and supporting women everywhere. She will release her new single later this month and debut EP later this year.
