Swiss Reggaeton artist, EM$o, has followed on from his debut LP, Differences, with the release of his latest single, Dark Rooms, complemented by an official music video that artfully unravels as the ultimate redemption arc.

From a life epitomised by insular isolation and addiction to finding the motivation to change under the influence of a person able to turn on all the bright lights, Dark Rooms shares a personal journey while simultaneously affirming everyone can start a new chapter if they’re willing to turn the page.

Sonically, the reggaeton track starts with melancholic tones before the bright backbeat kicks into flow and the instrumentals melodically warm around the shift in lyrical tone. In 3-minutes, EM$o takes you on the emotional journey of a lifetime.

The song was written, recorded and mixed in EM$o’s home studio and mastered by Slade Templeton at Influx Studios. The official video was shot and produced by Tec. and Film.

EM$o said:

“Dark Rooms is a tribute to a very special woman who went through hell trying to prevent me from doing something stupid and fatal. After my past life in the streets, I was severely depressed; days would pass I did little more than drink in my house to numb the pain.

She walked into my life, everything became easy and moments of happiness were achievable – while sober. She empowered me to get healthier, better, stronger, and more resilient. As much as this is a tribute, it is also an ask for forgiveness and acknowledgement that she walked through the fire for me, despite the burns from her past.”

Amelia Vandergast, the Executive Editor at A&R Factory said:

“The candid uncut nature of EM$o's debut LP was a promising sign of more expositionally visceral hits in the pipeline; he more than delivered with Dark Rooms. The rhythmically disarming single strips the glorification from self-destruction and glamourizes growth. You can't afford not to have him as a role model.”
