Emma Louise - Jungle



Favorite lyrics: my head is a jungle

Florence meets The Cranberries after a week without sleep, and this is what's produced. The kind of gorgeous-voiced symphony of chaos that can both lull your eyelids to close and make you want to dance within seconds of each verse. The music in Jungle is very silent and simple until the chorus and the swift pattern of the words plays over a drumbeat that's pure organized mayhem; at the start, Emma Louise's voice carries the song alone, with only simple beats in the background, until the maniac of the song hits full stride and it turns your mind into a metaphorical jungle. It's like the slowly silent and simple music of the verses is how the singer is perceived and the blur of the chorus is what her mind is actually thinking. It makes for a song that's very easy to relate to but rarely voiced.
