Emily Burns announces forthcoming debut album, Die Happy

Speaking on the single, Emily Burns says: “Die Happy came when I was feeling lost, confused and like I hadn’t achieved enough. It took a lot for me to continue writing music but, when I wrote this song I felt overwhelming pride. I realised that measuring success isn’t solely based on the things you have or fulfilling the life you dreamt up as a child. It’s more about finding true happiness. I looked to my partner and realised I’m more successful than I could ever have imagined and could “Die Happy” just knowing I’m loved in the way I am”.

Speaking of the music video, she adds: “I was lucky enough to work with Celia Jean on this video who has really brought that idea to life. She’s created a piece of work that takes you through a total rollercoaster of emotions and perfectly mirrors the sentiment of the song. I actually cried when I watched it for the first time. Beanie, who plays the younger me in the video, is an incredible actress. The way she portrays that acceptance and joy is beautiful. I’m so proud of the team that came together to make this and I hope you love it as much as I do”.

Burns says that the album “feels hopeful, there’s definite sadness in it, but overall it feels like love, happiness, growth and acceptance.”
