After impressing me with “In the First Place,” Tarntanya/Adelaide-based rocker Emerauld hasn’t taken her foot off the pedal. If you loved her bold energy on that single, I know you’ll appreciate her latest effort, “Loud Mouth.” Emerauld dials up the angst again, channelling it into an anthem for speaking up against the injustices in the world. She wrote this song during a “political and emotional breaking point” when she felt overwhelmed by constant negative news cycles about everything from genocide in Gaza to hate crimes against marginalised communities.
“I want people to come away feeling like it’s okay to be loud, to be angry and to demand change,” she insisted. “There’s always going to be terrible people in the world, but their bitterness doesn’t have to drag you down. Make noise, take up space and speak up for what matters.”
Emerauld will launch the single for hometown fans at The Austral tonight. Make sure you arrive early for choice support slots from fellow local talents St Loki and Maiden Name.
