It's not dark...It's called powerful depth! In our conversation, Emily shares with us that she wants to write songs that are singable 40 years from now. Not viral...Not trending this weekend...Not forgotten next month. FORTY YEARS The industry rewards noise. Speed. Algorithms. “Content.” But Emily Scott Robinson is building something much harder: ...Songs people sing in churches. ...Songs people sing at funerals. ...Songs people sing when life breaks open. One of her songs (written in the chaos of 2020) took on a life beyond her. It's become something people carried into their hardest moments. Most artists are building for applause.
