"are you so afraid you might come on to me wasted....?"
In the Official Video for Emily Wolfe's pop forward indie rocker "Something Better", Wolfe looks at her reflection in the mirror as it sings back to her (and she back to her mirrored self), "will this ever change..., don't want to waste my life away hoping to find something better". The chunky walls of guitar, snappy drums, and driving bass lines are dramatic and powerful against Wolfe's resonant emotional vocal aesthetic that feels somehow infused with equal parts sadness and hope. As she expertly slides and bends her thick guitar tones, on her own signature Epiphone Sheraton Stealth ( I might add), I am flashing on the depth of emotions on this pop rock song. There is the over-riding sense of either living in the present and realizing that the joy is in the journey or the realization that it it time to move away from what is holding you back.
This track might feel more glossy than a lot of Wolfe's songs that blend in heavy blues rock into the broad indie rock pool but she always injects layers of emotional gravitas. She always makes me feel something and "Something Better" is not exception.
“Something Better,” the first single from Emily Wolfe's highly anticipated full-length album, "Outlier", out on June 25, 2021 via Crows Feet Records. Wolfe is from Austin, Texas.
