Emma McGrath ushers in the spring with the sprightly "Butterfly"
The singer-songwriter adds unabashed pop to her resume with her toe-tapping new single, which arrives hot on the heels of her previous outing "Love You Better".
Mixing up the nostalgic and bittersweet ruminations of the latter, "Butterfly" yearns to a different beat. Rapid, fluttering rhythms propel the track forth, underpinned by a nonchalant swagger. Deftly strummed guitars drive on with intent, eschewing the introductory peals for a sense of urgency.
Inspired by the prospect of removing fake people from your life and doing what is morally right to you, as opposed to compromising yourself and what you believe in, "Butterfly" sees McGrath at her most resolute. “I would try and sympathise but it wouldn’t feel right,” shrugs McGrath with apparent indifference through a voice far more mature than her 18 years.
Her apathy is belied time and again with her unshakeable resolve towards the person in question. “So whatever she’s done, it doesn’t matter to me. I see where she’s coming from.”
Clearly, Emma McGrath has no intention of going anywhere.
