Australian artist and producer EMEREE releases her new single Spring Cleaning on 24 April via Xelon Digital — and it’s a track that hits with both emotional weight and musical precision.
Already making serious waves as a behind-the-scenes force with over 50 million streams to her name, EMEREE steps into the spotlight on her own terms. She’s one of NME’s Top 100 Artists to Watch in 2025, and with Spring Cleaning, it’s easy to see why.
Written during the Women in Music Production camp in Perth alongside Drea, Bri Clark, and GEORGA RAATH, the song is rooted in personal experience. EMEREE began writing it while processing the aftermath of domestic violence — an experience that shapes the track’s clarity and depth. “After such a difficult year, I needed to make space for myself again,” she says. “The idea of ‘spring cleaning’ emotionally and mentally resonated with me.”
There’s no melodrama here — just honest, considered songwriting. Musically, Spring Cleaning blends laid-back 90s R&B with clean, modern production and her trademark whistle notes. The result is understated but powerful: a track that invites listeners in without demanding too much from them. It’s a subtle statement of intent from an artist with a lot more to say.
EMEREE (Gabrielle Emery) has long been a name to know in the background — producing hits like Tyla Jane’s Energyand landing major sync placements — but her solo work has started to catch fire in its own right. Her breakout single Leave You Like a Man went viral on social media, and her debut EP Gold led to support slots with artists like Thelma Plum, JACOTENE and Budjerah.
Now, with her first UK shows lined up at Brighton’s Great Escape Festival (17 May, Sounds Australia stage) and the Groucho Club’s Golden Slipper showcase, EMEREE is poised to make an impact far beyond home soil.
She’s been nominated for ‘Best Soul/Gospel Work’ at the Music Victoria Awards, recognised by the Music Producer and Engineer’s Guild, and handpicked for residencies and collaborations with some of Australia’s most respected names. A skilled multi-instrumentalist with a four-octave range, she’s often compared to artists like Cleo Sol or RAYE, but her voice — both sonically and lyrically — is distinctly her own.
With Spring Cleaning, EMEREE doesn’t shout for attention — she earns it. It’s a confident, quietly defiant step forward from an artist whose next chapter is already underway.
