EMMY MELI SHARES THE NEW SINGLE 'GREEN GRASS' FEATURING MUSICAL LEGEND NILE RODGERS

Back in the spotlight after earning acclaim for this year's 'All About Love' EP, Emmy Meli today reveals a collaboration of a lifetime with  CHIC legend and  musical icon Nile Rodgers alongside the genre-breaking artist and producer Swindle (Kojey Radical, Knucks, Ghetts). The transatlantic trio have joined forces for Emmy's new single 'GREEN GRASS'. Listen HERE.

'GREEN GRASS' brings out the best in all three talents. The gilded vocal class of Emmy Meli delivers a feelgood lyric about overcoming life's challenges and pushing forwards stronger than ever before. Her style is elevated by Nile Rodgers, his rhythmic guitar style instantly recognisable - from  CHIC classics 'Good Times' and 'Le Freak' to his iconic Daft Punk collab 'Get Lucky'. And Swindle's production brings everything together - Emmy's R&B, soul and jazz influences with Nile's disco heart - with a pulsating, contemporary feel.

Emmy says, "'GREEN GRASS' is alchemy. It's the feeling you get when all your worst fears come true and you can finally be free, the feminine feeling of planting seeds and growing flowers from mud because you are a phoenix that can always overcome - mixed with some violin and vocals that will transport you through space and time!" 

As Emmy excels at crafting modern music with a nostalgic retro undertone, Nile Rodgers was naturally on Emmy's bucket list when it came to a dream feature. As she notes, "It's an honour to have such a legend on the track." Swindle was their shared link, having producedEmmy's 'All About Love' EP, and also being one of Nile's regular creative collaborators.

Since releasing 'All About Love' in February, Emmy has been going viral for her jaw-dropping live performance of 'OOH LA LA' with Magnus Ferrell at the Blue Note in Los Angeles - plus a live performance in London's Camden with DJ AG. It has been praised by a host of big names including SZA, Tash Sultana and Michelle Visage.

Originally from Long Beach, California, Emmy Meli is influenced by artists who aren't afraid to use their towering voices to say what they really mean: think Sade, Victoria Monet, Amy Winehouse, Lauryn Hill, Barbara Lewis and Minnie Riperton. That has been a hallmark of Emmy's career since the very beginning, and one that made a particularly potent connection with her breakthrough song 'I Am Woman'. Released when she was 21-years-old, the single took on a life of its own, exceeding 400 million streams and soundtracking  Meghan Markle's 'Archetypes' podcast.

Her first EP, 'Hello Stranger', followed in 2024 before she took a little time out to look inwards and explore a time of self-discovery. She emerged all the stronger for the experience - as both an artist and an individual - and applied that learning and vulnerability to the tales she shared in 'All About Love'. Now she's empowered and full of confidence for what comes next.
