Emergency Tiara – “When I Grow Up” (audio) (premiere)

Having moved from Tokyo to Boston and since graduated from the Berklee College of Music, Emergency Tiara has steadily shown great promise with each new track she’s put out. The kind of amorphous musician who can shift from orchestral pop to vintage Motown in a heartbeat, her songs are playful yet deftly crafted, as you can hear on the vibrant soul track “When I Grow Up”.

“The song is inspired by my beautiful other half,” she tells PopMatters. “He often tells me that I’m the most beautiful girl and I hope he’ll feel the same 10 years, 20 years, 50 years from now.”
